The Ibanez GRG220PA1 is here to prove that an instrument doesn’t have to be expensive to sound good. Because with twin Classic Elite humbuckers providing a punchy, raucous tone with a fat low-end, you’ll push your amp hard while maintaining seamless note clarity. And you can make those barking tones even better with the expressive action of the T106 Tremolo bridge, which allows you to add in thrilling divebombs and pitch shifting whammy action.
It’s not just about the ferocious sounds though, because the GRG220PA1 boasts inviting playability that’s suitable for any level of player. Carved into Ibanez’s slender shredder shape, it makes riffing effortless through its slim roasted maple neck and ultra-smooth purpleheart fretboard. That’s combined with its double horn design to give you tonnes of room for top end soloing. If you’re looking to start or perfect your fast playing styles, the GRG220PA1 is excellent for both!
Classic Elite humbuckers
Rich, powerful, and ready to rock. As the name implies, the Classic Elite humbuckers have a vintage quality to their sound, but with a bit of extra sonic oomph. This means they retain excellent note-to-note clarity while still pushing your amp hard, so you can crank up the overdrive an enjoy saturated tones for metal and heavier genres.
Boasting fatness in the low end, they’re as good at chugging chords as they are at voicing screaming high-end solos. And with a built-in coil split feature accessible with the 5-way switch lever, you’ve got the flexibility to voice clean twangs in addition to chunky humbucker howls.
Riotous riffing on a smooth neck and fretboard
Play to your best. Ibanez are known for their slender neck designs that make super-fast playing possible. And the GRG220PA1 is no different! With a thin roasted maple neck under your palm, you’ll have plenty of room for shredding on the fingerboard. Not only that, but the roasting quality of the maple makes it extraordinarily resistant to humidity and temperature changes, music to the ears of performers that are frequently going from stage to stage!
Hard-wearing hardware
From its gorgeous poplar burl and okoume body, to its sturdy mono-unit output jack, the GRG220PA1 is built to last. Not only is the roasted maple neck resistant to warping and damage, but the mono-unit output jack is specially designed to prevent unwanted movement and loosening. Nothing is worse than your jack wriggling loose during a performance and losing connectivity, and this durable build provides excellent value at this price point.
Not only is the GRG durable, but you can also expect reliable and dependable tuning stability from the T106 bridge. With six individual string saddles, you’ll enjoy accurate intonation across the board, in addition to quick return to pitch from the tremolo arm.
