Get a Killer Guitar for Little Cash!

The Ibanez GRX70 electric guitar is a shining example of value! Don't let the price fool you — this guitar is a flexible tone machine. The basswood body with quilted art grain top is gorgeous, and a trio of pickups gives you tons of tones. A standard tremolo handles divebombing and other whammy acrobatics. This axe is perfect for burgeoning rockers who want a versatile guitar for all occasions. All in all, the Ibanez GRX70 gives you a whole lotta guitar for the money!

Powerful pickups

Three Powersound pickups grace the Ibanex GRX70 electric guitar with versatile tones. Two powerful ceramic-magnet humbucking pickups give you high output without muddiness. The middle single-coil pickup uses Alnico magnets to produce a super-clear vintage tone. The GRX70 is ready for any style you need from clean, warm ballads to in-your-face rock and beyond.

Smooth-playing neck

A guitar is only as playable as its neck. It's a good thing the Ibanez GRX70 has a smooth and fast-playing maple neck. This comfortable neck gives you medium-sized frets that make playing chords and notes effortless.

Dive-bomb and waggle

From huge dive-bombs to subtle waggling to strutter-like warbling, the Ibanez GRX70's FAT 6 tremolo is ready for anything you throw at it. When not in use the tremolo is solid and in tune; when in use it does your bidding to the microtone. Whether you need the trem for cool '50s-era dips or massive metal dives, the Ibanez GRX70 is ready.

Ibanez GRX70 Electric Guitar Features:

  • Basswood body
  • Maple neck
  • Jatoba fretboard
  • 3 Powersound pickups

Awesome for the price

I love my Ibanez Gio
The one thing I don't like is that it never stays in tune , but swapping out the headstock turners might help.
Overall awesome guitar and I love the red finish.

Cheap find

This was the first time I placed an order with sweetwater and I was not disappointed. Shopping was easy and I was given the option to make payments, making it easier for me to buy the things I wanted. Shipping was extremely fast as well. As for the guitar, this was a demo but aside from a minor chip on the headstock it was in near perfect condition. For being a low cost guitar it plays and looks like a pricey guitar. I recommend this guitar for someone looking for a great guitar to learn with or even if you're an expert. Neck is so smooth, sound is awesome, decent weight as well.

Rated 5/5

Nice practice guitar.

Guitar arrived properly packed and without a blemish anywhere.The intonation was spot on straight out of the box. Neck is smooth and action was nice and low with no "buzz" noted anywhere on the fretboard.
