I've fallen in love with this guitar!
So after a thorough research of the market I was pleased to discover that this Ibanez GRG121DX-WNF (Walnut Finish) was ticking all the boxes for my own guitar preferences:
* Strat type shape and the full body visible instead of featuring an ugly plastic front guard.
* Satin finish because my glossy acoustic shows all my fingerprints
* Black finishing kit because it looks so much classier than silver and cream in my opinion
* Cool looking fret inlays
* Fixed bridge because I'm not particularly interested in a tremelo arm hanging around and adding the uncertainty over tuning stability
It was ideal for my wallet that all the above features come together in the cheapest guitar in the Ibanez natural wood finish range. I considered the more expensive Ibanez RG421 & S521 too.
As I couldn't find one locally to see and play, I took a gamble on Ibanez quality & Thomann's shipping to order this guitar without playing one.
My gamble paid off big time! As soon as I got it out of the box I was blown away by the quality. It looks even better than in the photos and plays as well as guitars which are 3x the price. It blows my mind how much quality and looks (did I mention the rock vibe of the Sharktooth fretboard inlays?) you get for your money with this guitar!

For a first, this is THE BEST!
I've been playing guitar for over two years now and this was my first electrical guitar. I still don't regret it. I got to compare it with other electrical guitars in a higher price range (about ~500 euros) and to be honest, even though you can hear a difference it still tries to keep its head up.
I still use this one quite a lot and love the sound that it makes.
I use it for Lo-fi, Ambient and Metal and it works perfectly for these genres (and they differ from each other quite a lot!). One of the BEST purchases you can make in this price range.
Also, the humbuckers work as they should and the design is neat :D.

Incredible experience for a beginner
I am very surprised that you can get a branded instrument for such a price. At the same time, it has amazing quality and fit, precise execution, perfect painting. Came from the factory with a well-adjusted scale and string heights. I like the sound, only the shielding is lacking in order to remove the light background. Each switch position actually makes a difference in sound, as does the position of the tone knob. It is a pity that in my country the price of this guitar is so high that it is still more profitable to pay customs and delivery from Germany. Delivered by the way in 12 days

Let's Rock
A guitar with clear highs and a slightly droning bass.
Granny's wardrobe color - looks good.
The edging on the neck is plastic, but the frets scratch your fingers a little.
A five position switch (position 2, 4) disables the single coil humbucker.

Ibanez GRG121DX-WNF
I'm so happy to use this guitar because it's so cool. Wood is so natural that's really important for me. Magnets are enough to play everything...

For metal heads
Like it says, high output pickups, mahogany body and rosewood fretboard, looks great, sounds brilliant and plays good, great value for money.

Never been happier
I bought this guitar expecting your usual cheap guitar sound and boy was I wrong. I couldn’t tell the difference between it and my fathers older Ibanez

Cool guitar
this is my first electric guitar. The quality of the guitar is excellent, assembled well and sounds what you need! Delivery to Russia went well, the shipping box from thomann was torn, but the guitar was not damaged.

Sounds the same way it looks - amazing!
It is actually the second time I'm buying this same model after moving to another country. Its just super playable and probably one of the best guitars you can get in this price range.
