Slim comfortable neck, smooth and easy to play. Came nicely set up with nice action straight out of the box. Possibly get it lowered slightly at the bridge end, but still beautiful to play. 10/10 for looks, comfort, feel, playability and quality. Play it every day and love it! Review: Great First Guitar. - This isn't my first guitar, but I wanted to try a strat style guitar without spending much money to see if I'd like the feel of it. I've only played this about 8 hours so take this as a first impressions and I'm not an expert guitarist. I got the green. It's slightly darker than the picture with a slight sparkle to it. Frets were almost perfect on the edges with no sharpness like you'd expect on a cheap guitar and the guitar came with no defects except a very small nick in the pick guard around one of the edges that I never notice in normal use. The neck is nice and smooth and makes chord changes easy. It stays in tune fairly well unless you use the tremolo system a lot, you'll probably have to tune it a few times the first few days from normal use as the new strings stretch. You get the tremolo bar with the guitar. The humbucker is a bit bright if you leave the tone at maximum, but add gain and lower the tone and it sounds a lot darker (better) and rockier. The single coils sound good clean. All the pickups work find out of the box. Looks good, plays good and sounds good for the money. Great start point if you're worried about spending a lot of money on learning guitar if you're not sure you'll stick with it. ## Features - The GRX40 Range.

I've only played this about 8 hours so take this as a first impressions and I'm not an expert guitarist. I got the green. It's slightly darker than the picture with a slight sparkle to it.

I've paired it with a Vox Pathfinder 10 Amp and it sounds great, very powerful especially with the humbucker. Aditionally it looks and plays fantastically and there isn't anything I can critique it for. I listen to bands like Oasis, Green Day, Crush 40 etc and this guitar is perfect to try and replicate that tone and playing style. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ibanez GIO Series GRX40-MLB - Full Size Electric Guitar - Metallic Light Blue - Guitar Picks 32pcs, PPpanda Guitar Plectrums For Your Electric, Acoustic, or Bass Guitar 0.46 0.71 0.96 1.2mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/178190936-gio-series-grx40-mlb-full-size-electric-guitar-metallic-light](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/178190936-gio-series-grx40-mlb-full-size-electric-guitar-metallic-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
