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.

T106 tremolo bridge

The T106 tremolo bridge with 6 independent saddles makes precise height and intonation adjustment of each string easy.
