When it comes to rock and metal guitars, there is but one model that stands out among the rest: the Ibanez RG – a supremely spec’d weapon of all-out shred and beyond that, for the past three decades, has continually helped raise the bar for high-performance electrics.
But a guitar that has been equally influential in the metal market is the Japanese brand’s GIO lineup, which puts top-notch Ibanez performance, playability and tones into a far more affordable package that refuses to compromise on quality.
