Ibanez GRG121DX

The Ibanez GRG121DX is a solid-body electric guitar from the GIO Series, featuring the distinctive RG-style double-cutaway design. Its current specification uses a Poplar body in most finishes, while the Walnut Flat (WNF) version uses an Okoume body. The GRG Maple neck and 648 mm (25.5") scale provide a comfortable full-size playing platform suited to rock, metal, pop, blues and general electric-guitar performance. 

The guitar features two IBZ-6 passive ceramic humbuckers in an HH configuration. A 5-way pickup selector provides multiple pickup combinations, including partial-coil combinations for additional tonal flexibility. The bound Purpleheart fretboard has 24 medium frets, a 400 mm radius and a 43 mm nut width, making it suitable for both rhythm and lead playing. 

A F106 fixed bridge provides stable string positioning, individual string-height adjustment and good sustain, while black hardware gives the instrument a clean RG-style appearance. The current model is available in finishes including Walnut Flat (WNF) and Metallic Gray Sunburst (MGS), with finish availability varying by market. 
