I have played lots of guitars. Owned a small chunk. This is my first 7-string. I had thought about trying extended range guitars for a while and when I lost all of my guitars in a fire I decided to grab this insanely affordable one to hold me over until I could get something of better "quality". I was immediately shocked at how nice this felt and played. I had several ESP's before, I like the way this plays much more. Now compared to some very high end guitars I have used, you cant compare (duh I know), but I think this stands up to many guitars in its playing field that cost $400-$500 more! It also reminded me of how much I was missing using active pickups. It feels so liberating to be back playing passives. 8 string prestige here I come. Thank you Ibanez.

If you're looking to purchase your first 7-string, or to add another to your arsenal, look no further! This Ibanez Gio is an amazing new addition to my arsenal. First off, the ice white finish is immaculate, no imperfections whatsoever. Secondly, the electronics feel great, it holds tune very well, pickups aren't too muddy on high gain/distortion and the clean channels are beautiful. Third, the pickups are split, leaving you with a 5 way toggle for even more variation in this guitar. And lastly, the shipping and condition of the guitar is very good, no damage to the box or its contents, fretwork is good, and the neck needs little to no adjustment (mine came perfectly straight, but depending on where you're ordering this from, temerature shifts may cause the neck to bow slightly, but easily fixed). I think this guitar is amazing for the price, although I may grab some new pickups to put in it just so I can clear up the muddy feel on the higher gain/distortion channels, and a new pair of strings to replace to factory set (I prefer D'Addarios) can't wait to break it in!Read full review

Plays nice. Sounds better than expected. Only had to make typical minor adjustments to drop tune. Much nicer than it's price would indicate. Arrived in perfect condition.
