The GRX70QA is an affordable guitar — but you wouldn’t know it from looking. Its eye-popping quilted maple top gives it an expensive look that belies its price tag. But the GRX70QA isn’t about looks — it delivers killer sound to match. Its poplar body supplies a resonant, balanced-sounding base for your tone. Beyond that, a versatile trio of Infinity pickups delivers a range of fierce, high-output tones. As for playability, you’ll love the smooth, fast action of this guitar’s neck. Engage in serious dive-bombing and other whammy acrobatics with the GRX70QA's standard tremolo. Many guitarists here at Music Experience have cut their teeth on the Ibanez GRX70 and have found it to be a great beginner electric.

Infinity pickups give you massive tonal range

The Ibanez GRX70QA yields a range of impressive tones, thanks to its Infinity pickups. It all starts with a duo of Infinity R humbuckers. 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. Beyond that, you get an Infinity RS single-coil pickup in the middle position. If you're after maximum tonal tenacity, the Ibanez GRX70QA will give your amplifier what you need.

Smooth-playing, fast-action neck enhances your speed

A guitar is only as playable as its neck — good thing the Ibanez GRX70QA has a smooth and fast-playing maple neck. This comfortable neck is capped by a bound jatoba fingerboard with a super-flat 15.7" radius and 22 medium frets, giving you the agility to execute fast single-note runs with ease.

Dive-bomb with this guitar's tremolo

From huge dive-bombs to subtle vibrato to stutter-like warbling, the Ibanez GRX70QA's tremolo is ready for anything you throw at it. When not in use, the tremolo is solid and in tune; when in use it does your bidding down to the microtone. Whether you need the trem for cool '50s-era dips or massive metal dives, the Ibanez GRX70QA is ready.

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.
