Smooth-playing, fast-action neck enhances your speed

Guitarists will tell you that a guitar is only as playable as its neck. So, it's a good thing the Ibanez GIO GRGR131EX has a smooth and fast-playing maple neck. This comfortable neck is capped by a purpleheart fingerboard with a super-flat 15.7-inch radius and 24 jumbo frets, giving you the agility to execute fast single-note runs with ease.

Enjoy the tuning stability benefits of a hardtail bridge

Dive-bombs can be fun, but many guitarists prefer the absolute stability of a hardtail bridge — legions of ace guitarists won’t go anywhere near a whammy bar. If you’re in this camp, then the Ibanez GIO GRGR131EX is your axe. The GRGR131EX's fixed bridge anchors the strings, giving you a rock-solid platform for your music.
