Ibanez GRG131DX GRG Series Electric Guitar Flat Black

It's a great guitar, I have nothing but love for Ibanez . Although this guitar I would not recommend for beginners, not that it's not easy to learn on it's just not a neck profile and care level needed that a beginner should have to take on. I recommend taking an extra few minutes to take the plastic off the pick guard and to break in the neck. Something I did not like was when I plugged it in it would have a screeching noise when I was not touching the strings might be because of high gain but that's what this guitar should be able to handle.

Just got the guitar about a week ago. I have been playing consistently for about a year and on and off for 20.So far this seems like a good value. Lots of tone options with the five way switch. I'm taking it to a local luthier this week to get it set up and I can only imagine it will play even better after that. Love the white finish. For the record, the description says it has a "treated New Zealand pine" fretboard, but those have been replaced on the 2020 and 2021 models with purpleheart. My guitar was built in October 2020 and has the purpleheart fretboard (which is just dark not purple) either fretboard is fine I just wanted to point out that the guitars shipping as of February 2021 are less than 6 months old and and I doubt they're shipping 18month old units along side current production models.
