The GIO series by Ibanez is immensely popular as an entry-level series. This is a rare original model, the GSZ. It's a guitar that seems to combine a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul. It has an arched-top Stratocaster shape with Les Paul electronics, making it a very logical design. It's incredibly easy to play and sounds great. I think it's a particularly excellent choice for those starting out on guitar. For this price, the quality is outstanding, a testament to Ibanez. The string height is low, making it very easy to play. The neck is straight and the truss rod has room to spare. The frets still have over 80% life remaining. String height at the 12th fret is 1.8mm on the 6th string and 1.6mm on the 1st string. String height and neck adjustments have been made to eliminate buzzing and dead notes. Total weight: 3.30kg. There are scratches and marks overall. Please check the images. While it can't be called a "beautiful" item, it's in a condition that will allow you to enjoy it for a long time to come. Accessories are not included; the body only. Please check the images for other conditions. Feel free to ask any questions. Shipping to areas outside of Honshu will be at the buyer's expense. Please inquire in this case.
