Looking for a lightweight axe that’s built for all-night rockin’? Then check out the Ibanez GRG131DX. This guitar’s tonally balanced poplar body feels great strapped to your shoulder, while its twin humbuckers yield an array of useful tones. Experience maximum tuning stability thanks to the GRG131DX’s hardtail bridge, while its fast-action New Zealand pine–topped maple neck supplies you with the kind of effortless playability that put Ibanez on the metal map. Aggressive-looking black hardware and cool shark’s-tooth inlays complete the package. The GRG131DX is a value-packed electric guitar.

A duo of Infinity R pickups gives you massive tonal range

Loaded with a duo of Infinity R humbuckers, the Ibanez GRG131DX yields a range of impressive tones. The neck position humbucker is voiced for warmer, richer tone, while the bridge humbucker is a brilliant lead pickup: vibrant yet snarling with an enhanced midrange output when you push it. If you’re after maximum tonal tenacity, then the Ibanez GRG131DX will give your amplifier what you need.

Smooth-playing, fast-action neck enhances your speed

The guitarists at Music Experience will tell you: A guitar is only as playable as its neck. Good thing the Ibanez GRG131DX has a smooth and fast-playing maple neck. This comfortable neck is capped by a New Zealand pine fingerboard with a super-flat 15.7" radius and 24 jumbo frets, giving you the agility to execute fast single-note runs with ease.

Enjoy the tuning stability benefits of a hardtail bridge

Dive-bombs can be fun, but many guitarists prefer the absolute stability of a hardtail bridge — legions of ace guitarists won’t go anywhere near a whammy bar. If you’re in this camp, then the Ibanez GRG131DX is your kind of axe. The GRG131DX’s fixed bridge anchors the strings, giving you a rock-solid platform for your music.

What Ibanez Says...

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. A guitar doesn't have to cost a bundle to sound good. The GIO series was developed for players who want Ibanez quality in a more affordable package. Not only do they look and play better than everything else in their price range, but their rigorous inspection, set-up and warranty is the same as Ibanez's more expensive models.
