Ibanez GRG170DXL-BKN

The Ibanez GRG170DXL-BKN is a 6-string, left-handed solid-body electric guitar from the Ibanez GIO series, built around the familiar RG-style double-cutaway design. It features a Poplar body, GRG Maple neck and a bound Purpleheart fretboard with White Sharktooth inlays. With its 648 mm (25.5") scale length, 24-fret neck and left-handed orientation, the guitar provides a comfortable platform for rhythm playing, lead work, rock, metal and other contemporary electric-guitar styles.

The guitar uses an H-S-H pickup configuration, combining an Infinity R passive ceramic humbucker at the neck, Infinity RS passive ceramic single-coil in the middle and another Infinity R humbucker at the bridge. A 5-way pickup selector provides five pickup combinations, while dedicated volume and tone controls allow further tonal adjustment. The T102 tremolo bridge offers pitch-bending capability, and the 400 mm fretboard radius and 10.5 mm string spacing complement the RG-style playing feel.

Finished in Black Night (BKN), the Ibanez GRG170DXL-BKN is equipped with chrome hardware and a ¼-inch mono output connection. It comes with 24 medium frets on the current specification, a 43 mm nut width and .009–.042 gauge strings in standard E tuning. The guitar is specifically configured for left-handed players while retaining the versatile electronics and RG-inspired construction associated with the GRG170DX platform.
