Ibanez GRGR131EX

The entry and mid-level electric guitar from Japanese manufacturer Ibanez, designed for guitarists playing modern rock and metal with lower tunings. The Ibanez GRGR131EX is part of the GRG series, which traditionally offers an aggressive sound, fast necks, and reliable construction at a reasonable price. The model is in a matte black finish with black hardware, giving it a fierce rocker look.

The main feature of this guitar is its extended range — 24 Jumbo frets (wide and tall) provide easy access to the upper register and comfortable solo play with smooth bends. The maple neck with the GRGR profile ensures stability, quick attack, and a bright tonal character, which is particularly important for note clarity in heavy music. Two Infinity R humbuckers in an H-H configuration deliver accurate and rich sound with excellent dynamics and high output.

These pickups are specially designed to maintain clarity even with heavy tunings and strong overdrive. The fixed F106 bridge enhances sustain and allows easy and independent adjustment of each string's height, simplifying the instrument's tuning for lowered tunings. Other features of the Ibanez GRGR131EX include a poplar body, providing a well-balanced tone with density, bolt-on neck joint, black matte hardware, and a 25.5” scale length.
