The Ibanez RG is a modern classic, and the GRX70QAL (based on this popular shape) is a great entry-level instrument with a gorgeous look! This is the perfect guitar for aspiring beginners who want a stylish axe that serves as a great rock and metal workhorse.
Lightweight Construction:
Ibanez's GRX70QAL is constructed with a lightweight Poplar body, providing you with a full and balanced tone. A bolt-on Maple neck will deliver a snappy response with lots of mid-range cut, ideal for riffs and power chords that need to punch through in a busy mix.
Fast-Playing Neck:
This guitar's neck has a comfortable 'GRX' profile, with Ibanez's signature thin feel guaranteeing great speed. This is ideal for smaller hands, letting beginners play chords without feeling any fatigue or strain. The 22 medium-sized frets are also very manageable under the fingers!
Ibanez Infinity Pickups:
A set of Ibanez's Infinity R pickups will provide you with a variety of tones, suitable for a diverse range of styles. The bridge and neck humbuckers deliver a thick and powerful sound; super-crunchy and saturated with amp distortion. The middle single-coil sounds vibrant and clear with clean amp settings, which can be combined with either of the humbuckers for those fantastic "in-between" tones!
