GRG170DX

The Ibanez GRG170DX is a 6-string solid-body electric guitar from the GIO range, built around the familiar RG-style double-cutaway design. Its poplar body is paired with a GRG maple neck and a bound purpleheart fretboard featuring white Sharktooth inlays. The 648 mm (25.5") scale length, 24-fret layout and RG-inspired construction make it suitable for a wide range of playing styles, from clean rhythm and lead work to rock and higher-gain applications.

The guitar uses an H-S-H pickup configuration, with an Infinity R humbucker at the neck, Infinity RS single-coil in the middle and Infinity R humbucker at the bridge. All three are passive ceramic pickups, providing a versatile tonal range through the 5-way pickup selector. The T102 tremolo bridge provides pitch manipulation, while the 10.5 mm string spacing and 400 mm fretboard radius support comfortable picking and fretting across the neck.

The GRG170DX features 24 medium frets, chrome hardware and a durable mono-unit output jack. It comes factory-equipped with .009–.042 gauge strings and is tuned to standard E tuning. Current versions are available in Black Night (BKN) and Silver (SV), depending on market. The combination of its versatile H-S-H electronics, tremolo bridge and comfortable RG-style neck makes it a practical electric guitar for developing players and guitarists looking for a flexible performance instrument.
