Product Description
Ibanez builds guitars for all levels of players-from beginners to the most demanding masters of the instrument. Regardless of price, Ibanez always strives to offer the absolute best sound, style, and playability in its class. It’s this mindset that has earned the GRX70QA its place as the one of the most popular start-up guitars of all time, responsible for launching numerous musical careers around the world. The GRX matches classic good looks with the Ibanez eye for detail. Its Poplar body is adorned with a handsome Quilted Maple Art Grain top and Maple neck features a Treated New Zealand Pine fingerboard with white dot inlays. High output Infinity R humbucker pickups provide delicious driven tone, courtesy of a 5-way selector switch that provides access to whatever tonal palette you need. A T102 tremolo rounds out your stylistic weaponry.

All that aside, a very experienced player was in the room with the recipient and made a variety of small critiques about the quality of the instrument. Most of those critiques went right over my head, but suffice it to say that someone who owns and plays 5 different types of guitars, some custom, might not appreciate it as much as someone just starting out.
Positives:
- Perfect tuning stability with standard strings. Correct me if I am wrong about the gauge but I believe it’s .10. Anyway, if you changing to another gauge make sure to correct the tension of the springs on the bridge (it is simple don’t worry)
- it has HSH pickup configuration with 5-way switch which gives you a really good ammount of different tones plus gives you a good slots configuration for future upgrades and modifications if you want any
- tremolo bridge - it is just nice to have it but I barely using it as I still suck in playing (adult life gives you little time, ughhh)
- fretboard is nice, no sharp angles, satin finish on the back, pretty comfy.
- additional point to the tuning stability - tuners is actually good quality, precise enough, had no problems with them
- inner shielding with paint and metalization on the bridge cover which protects you from the hum, yes.
- last but not tge least - it comes with a cable, so no need to buy it separately. Also in package there alen wrenches for intonation and truss rode adjusting
Negatives:
- frets itself needs a bit leveling if you want to lower the action (strings height). Not immediately though and it still fully playable and enjoyable, right
- slightly unbalanced. Fretboard and headstock is a bit heavier than body. Playing standing might require a good strap with rubberized shoulder. Not affecting when playing sitting
- stock pickups are not the best for sure. Had really hard time with pitch harmonics until replaced them with dragonfire screamers which cost btw 40$ including taxes for a humbuckers set (pretty nice, eh?)
- also for my guitar the volume nob was slightly elevated which I did not even mentioned for some time. Just for a note, I am a bit perfectionist but I am not fixing the nob cause that is how unnoticeable this problem
That is pretty much it, sorry for mistakes in the text, english is not my first language and I am writing from the phone.
To summarize: this is a good quality guitar, consider the price - the best value for the buck I’d say. Squier from fender will not give you same rich tone capabilities for sure but as for the pros and cons I can’t talk as I do not have it.
Hope it will help you in your decision 🤘
