Ibanez GIO GSA 60 2010 Black
This black Ibanez GIO was built in 2010 at the Cort factory in Indonesia. It’s still in production today and is part of Ibanez’s entry-level series.
The thin, ergonomically well-balanced body sits comfortably against the player. The tremolo is currently set to rest on the body but can easily be re-adjusted for floating operation.
We’ve leveled the frets – something that’s often necessary on entry-level guitars – and now it plays great. With its typically slim Ibanez neck profile, it’s a shredder’s dream.
Sound:
- The bridge humbucker has a slightly mid-focused tone but is perfectly usable.
- The single-coils – especially in the in-between positions – sound thin but pleasantly Strat-like.
The guitar shows some playwear but no major dings or dents.
Specifications:
- Weight: approx. 3.50 kg
Price:
- Guitar: €130
- Fret leveling & setup: €100
- Total: €230 (equals the original new price)
