Customer reviews about Ibanez GRG140-WH

A

Exemplary instrument for budget conscious or beginners

Anon-e-mus 27.05.2020

Wow. Just wow. I've never purchased a guitar, either online or from a store, that was set up correctly 100% correctly. Until now.
I can't believe that the cheapest guitar I have ever purchased has the best set up right out of the box. Zero fret buzz. Neck relief is good. Intonation is correct. Action is great. I only needed to tune it up and it was ready to go. Ibanez, this is the way every guitar should be sold, so congratulations to your Chinese factory for getting this right.
I was looking for more of a strat sound for blues and rock (not shredding) so went for the super-strat S-S-H setup of this model after online review.

Pros:
Neck. Not as fast as Wizard, but is as thick as a Wizard II, satin finish, wider and a flatter radius. If you like flat necks this is fine.
Fret job is great, polished and nicely leveled and filed.
Comfortable weight and not neck heavy.
Nice combination of pickup tones.

Cons:
Specs say jumbo frets, feel more like medium-jumbo.
Single coil pickups are good, but not as sparkly as an Alnico. Also not a huge difference in the treble/bass settings.

Great guitar

IIMP 30.03.2022

Newbie guitar player, so might not be ideal review for seasoned players. This guitar arrived in perfect condition (just needed to tune). Quality is fantastic for this price range and the sound is great as well. The only gripe is near the nut where there is slight discoloration (need to look closely to see). Maintains tune quite well, have not used the tremolo arm,vand will not do so either so cannot comment on how it maintains tune after use..

Worth its money

madcaster 27.04.2021

Bought it as my first guitar, and completely satisfied. It does have a couple flaws, but they are negligible for the price.
First is a big difference in volume of the bridge pickup and two others. Not a big deal for me as a beginner and for using it at home, or on a single type of pickup for the whole song, but if you need to change between bridge and other settings, you'll need to fiddle with the volume each time you change position.
Second is the tremolo. It's nice to have the option, but you'll have to tune the guitar more often if you use it. If you don't, strings keep tuning just fine.

A super guitar!

AndreasCosti 09.03.2021

I used this for my rock concert and it's amazing. For a beginer and also a intermediar guitarist that's the best option u can chose , this guitar has a super tone, and that s very important, also he has a super nice body #blackandwhite. i like so much this guitar it's feels so comfortable in you hand , like the neck also , so great. If u just want to start playing the guitar ,trust me , that's the best option. I f u are an intermediar guitar and u want so play the guitar for a band , that's the best option because it's not so expensive and he has a great quality.

Well worth the money.

J T Fish 19.11.2020

For a relatively low price guitar it plays well, and it's well set up from the factory.
I was thinking about a Bigsby for my SG, but this gives me the chance to have a guitar with
a vibrato without modifying it and another guitar for a good bit less
Very happy with my purchase.
