Ibanez GRGR221PA-AQB

i playing guitar only a year and this is my first electric guitar.
its a lightweight guitar and as a beginner guitarist is very useful and this allow you to practise without cause you pain on your foot . The neck is thin and very fast . The humbuckers sounds very nice and if you combine it with a good amp it has nothing to envy towards more expensive guitars and it is very beautiful .
if you are a beginner or medium level guitar player is the right guitar for you in proportion to the money it costs

This is a beautiful and amazing project guitar. You don't need much to make it awesome! Just change the pickups. Although that amazing looking matched top looks like wood, it's not. It's printed, but who cares? It looks great anyway! The nut is good, although a little high for my taste. Tuners are decent and keep the guitar in tune well. The frets are a decent enough job with no protruding extremities, but they'll surely benefit from a nice polishing job. The fretboard was somewhat dry, but a little lemon oil solved that. The neck is a one piece bolt on with a glued headstock. Not the strongest combination but as long as you don't use insane tension on the strings it will be fine. String action came pretty high but intonation was not that bad. Nothing that a nice setup can't fix. Besides, even much more expensive guitar have the same issue and need a setup anyway... The pickups are absolute garbage. Muddy lows and lack of highs (even when in single coil mode). Do yourself a favour and change the pickups right away. Even cheap Chinese aftermarket pickups sound better than this. Personally I put some Fishman Fluence Devin Townsend pickups and WOW, this guitar really came to life right away! Now it sounds amazing! The reason I'm mentioning the Fishman pickups is because these are active and need a 9V battery, and the electronics cavity on this guitar is small. Also, the jack plug is plastic and seems to be of a proprietary design. It's mono and in my case I needed a stereo one (because of the active pickups). The jack input and cover are one piece only, so I ended up cutting the jack input to keep the cover and through that cover I inserted a Switchcraft barrel stereo jack input. The guitar's potentiometers are small and fit in some recessed holes. So, keep that in mind if you need to replace them. I did (stock ones are 250K and active pickups require 25K). Mine were big, so installing them required a little massaging here and there. As I deleted the tone pot and put the volume pot in its place, I ended up with plenty of room for the battery. I also changed the pickup selector switch and installed an extra (small) switch. The cavity size is more than enough for my specific needs, but please plan accordingly beforehand. Overall, a really good guitar for the price. You don't need to change much, but changing pickups is a must.
