The pickups are passive and you can get some noise through them but if you use a quality shielded cable you should be fine. My guitar only needed the truss rod adjusted a quarter turn to straighten the fretboard out. Everything else was spot on. I will however, be cha ging the strings to some Ernie Ball super slinky's and then I'll need to adjust the action height as theyre finer gauge strings. All in all, its a nice guitar. Sounds good and is quite light too! Review: Really nice guitar - but does need TLC out of the box - I got this Ibanez to use mostly as an everyday practise guitar that I can switch from standard tuning to drop D easily (my other guitar has a floyd rose). These are my thoughts after owning & using this guitar for ~5 months. When I first removed it from the box, tuned it & plugged it into my Katana, I was quite underwhelmed & actually disappointed. However, I took a breath, paused & looked it over again. You can feel dust particles stuck to the finish of the guitar on the back of the neck & the body...this clears with use or can be rubbed off with a soft cloth - mine is now completely smooth & feels very nice to the touch. The sound that it produced initially was the most disappointing part (my other guitar has seymour duncan pickups and low action). Firstly the action was very high, making it harder to play, but also meaning that the strings were quite a long way from the pickups making the output much quieter & duller/muddy sounding. After checking the truss rod (which was very close to perfect out of the box), lowering the action and checking the intonation, the sound & playability improved - but the sound was still lacking...I then changed the strings to D'addario's, what a difference - the sound changed dramatically & the pickups could finally do their thing...I have no plans on changing the stock pickups, even when comparing them to the Seymour Duncan's on my other guitar. The biggest issue is the frets - they are rough, dull & a bit scratchy as it comes. You need to polish them, otherwise you will not get the best out of this guitar. This week (after owning it for ~5 months), I lightly oiled the fretboard with D'addario lemon oil as well - the fretboard has thanked me for doing this...I don't think this needs doing out of the box - but you will want to do it after a while. Tuning is very stable - even when changing from standard to drop D regularly. The pickups are amazingly versatile for the price & sound much, much better than I expected. I originally bought this to be treated as a cheap guitar that I wouldn't really care about...I've hardly played my other (significantly more expensive) guitar since owning this one - I think it has become a keeper. This would make a very good first guitar (but I would suggest getting someone to do the set-up work on it for you), or equally, it makes a great (very affordable) choice to flesh out an existing collection. While there are some issues out of th box - it really doesn't take much to sort them out & the end result is a great guitar. ## Features - Ibanez Modelle - E-Gitarren - Gitarren - We emphasise a balanced combination of careful workmanship and selected materials. - OUR GOAL - Your satisfaction is our top priority and takes centre stage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01AAGCB00 | | Back Material Type | Rosewood | | Back material type | Rosewood | | Best Sellers Rank | 18,852 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 39 in Solid Body Electric Guitars | | Body Material Type | Walnut | | Body material | Walnut | | Brand | Ibanez | | Brand Name | Ibanez | | Colour | Walnut | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 363 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Purpleheart | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04515276760139 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | H | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Jack cable | | Instrument | Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 111.8 x 48.3 x 12.7 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 111.8L x 48.3W x 12.7H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Electric guitar | | Item Weight | 3.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Ibanez | | Manufacturer Part Number | GRG121DX-WNF | | Material Type | Maple Wood, Okoume Wood | | Model Name | GRG121DX-WNF | | Model Number | GRG121DX-WNF | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Neck material type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Warranty | 1 year warranty. | | Scale Length | 648 millimeters | | Set Name | GIO | | Size | Full | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Walnut Wood | | Top material type | Walnut Wood | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Rosewood - **Body material:** Walnut - **Brand:** Ibanez - **Colour:** Walnut - **Fretboard material type:** Purpleheart - **Guitar pick-up configuration:** H - **Hand orientation:** Right - **Neck material type:** Maple - **String material type:** Alloy Steel - **Top material type:** Walnut Wood ## Images ![Gio GRG121DX-WNF Walnut Flat - Electric Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SQquQIltL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what's the year of the production?** A: 2016 **Q: Does it come with a case?** A: Hi there.

Worth upgrading the strings. Not quite as sonorous as some of my friends' more expensive guitars, but not all that far off for a considerably lower cost. Looks good, light, easy to handle. Perfect for beginners and as a general jamming guitar. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ibanez GRG121DX GIO Range - Electric Guitar - Walnut Flat - Fender Frontman 10G, Combo Guitar Amp, 10W, Small Practice Amp, Suitable for Electric Guitar, Black/Silver - New bee Guitar Cable 3m/10ft Electric Guitar Instrument Cable Bass AMP Cord 1/4 inch Straight to Right Jack Lead for Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48280706-gio-grg121dx-wnf-walnut-flat-electric-guitar](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48280706-gio-grg121dx-wnf-walnut-flat-electric-guitar) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
