Ibanez GRGM21 GIO Mikro Electric Guitar

Feature:
Love the sound from the pickups! The string action is very light, perfect for a beginner or an accomplished player. They do not come with tremelo systems, which for me would be a drawback, but for my son it actually is great, because it will save me from having to tune it up every time he used it.

Quality:
Perfect

Value:
You really get a great guitar for the money. My son loves it, and it did not cost me a fortune. I enjoyed playing it myself.

Desirability:
The shark tooth inlay on the fretboard makes this guitar stand out from the other Strat copies. The pickups are much better than the usual single coil from this type of guitar.

Sound:
For what it is designed for, it is perfect.

Ease of Use:
The Mikro came in tune and fully set up. The string action is amazing.

Overall:
This is the perfect sized guitar for my 9 year old son. The double coil pickups and the shark tooth inlay were the reasons for buying this one over the Stratocaster Squire. I was very happy when the guitar came perfectly set up, ready to play. I would definitely buy another one.

Feature:
when i bought mine, it just came as its self. there is a gig bag made to fit its size around twenty bucks. I really like the humbuckers on this and the shark tooth neck diagram looks kick ass! would be cooler with a whammy bar though. but i didnt use one before so why use one now.

Quality:
i feel that i baby it when traveling with it because i only use a larger gig bag for it because i dont have the one to fit its size. but really it is a solid guitar. the neck is perfectly solid and beautiful. The finish is very hard to scratch or damage as well as the pick guard. i feel comfortable with lots of use of this guitar. the only thing though is its size can make a worry.

Value:
ok for the price i got my red mikro at, 120$ i would pay the price double just to keep it. after looking at this guitar and playing it for the first time i would of never guessed it to be this price. i would guess around 3 or 400 dollars. wow. It has the looks of a 500 dollar guitar with sound of a 300 dolla guitar. so they could of made the price this way because of the bodys size, but really thats just an added bonus to me.

Desirability:
It looks as if steve vai or someone of that such designed this beauty. im looking to get a ibanez rg 350dx and this guitar actually looks similar to it. It has the black on candy apple red which is my favorite combonation. it is available in other good colors to. The neck is a beaut i luv the shark tooth diagrams. beyond that just set it down and step away and stare at it and u will just want to kiss this thing.

Sound:
this guitar produces a way better sound than it looks it would. The pickups can sound great for metal, softy stuff, or just any rock. i think it could have a 5 way toggle switch but it still produces great sounds w/o.

Ease of Use:
it is very playable. the smaller body makes great for good solo play on the 24 fret neck. its hard enough to get to 21st fret on my strat so this makes things all fine n dandy. For a fat metal or rock sound i simply just use the neck pickup. and the bridge pickup is great for a thinner moderate rock sound that cant be beat. if u can play a regular standard sized guitar this one is no different exept a lil easier.

Support:
None needed yet. but it is an ibanez. keep that in mind.

Overall:
For me this guitar was a backup or extra axe to have when i buy my 350dx ibanez. but after purchase and playing time with it its now more of my main go to guitars. i luv that about it.
