Ibanez Review: GRX 170

History:

Purchase: I bought this guitar from the academy of music in brisbane for $529 AU. I was looking for an electric guitar to replace my old acoustic and this was in my price range, i had a look at some stratocasters and other double cutaway electrics but i was extremely unimpressed with the quality of sound. I had a play of it in the shop and told them to wrap it up.

What I Like About This Ibanez GRX 170: Great guitar for fast playing, 22 frets, chrome hardware, comes strung with d'addorio strings and of course the 2 humbuckers make it sound fatter and hairier.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez GRX 170: It could come in a larger range of colours, and maybe an extra tone knob but other than that its grrrrrreat.

Ibanez GRX 170 Quality Rating: Solid body in Deep Red stain, wizard II neck(very playable), made in indonesia, I could probably throw this guitar off the roof of my house and nothing would happen.

Review Summary: Excellent guitar for the price i paid, could stand up against a marshall half stack if it needed too, if your looking for a good first or second guitar this is the best choice.

Rating of this Ibanez product: 5
