Ibanez GRG220PA1 BKB GIO - transparent brown black burst

IBANEZ GIO GRG220PA1 BKB solid body electric guitar, Okoume body, Poplar Burl top, bolt-on roasted Maple neck, Purpleheart fretboard, 24 frets, Classic Elite humbucking pickups, traditional tremolo.

Used during decades in boat and airplane building, west african native Okoume is a great low density tonewood for electric guitars (John Suhr has been using it for many years).
Sonically, it can be considered as Mahogany with a brighter high end and more dynamic range, improving the clarity of the guitar.

The fingerboard is made of Purpleheart. It's a dense tonewood recalling brazilian Rosewoods.

The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.
