Ibanez: GRX40





The current GRX models by Ibanez are made in China. The RX models were discontinued in 1998 & they trickled into the Gio series of entry-level units then, selected models were also offered in the anufacturer's starter pack range. The guitar per se is a good player for the money. The current incarnation is much heavier than the ones before the Gio tag kicked in, giving the instrument a much need bass propulsion. Many of us couldn't be bothered by this model but when it was hot back then, it became the working model for Andy Timmon's first signature unit.

my first guitar. had for over 10 years. i didn't know anything when i got it. i looked the serial number up for another guitar i have to see when it was made. i put this guitar serial number in just to see when it was made also. the site said it was made in 1980. i got it in 1998 brand new. paid 200 for it. after playin it for a few years the neck got out of wack pretty bad and i quit playin it. i would not get another one.
