I've always recommended Ibanez's GRG121 to starters for its great construction & tone (in view of the asking price, of course). This '09, the manufacturer offers this model in a reverse headstock version. The default pickups have also been replaced by covered Powersound units, unlike the previous STD models. I'm not saying the former are better tone generators by a big difference, just that they are grittier when it comes to distortion/ OD; don't think you are gonna buy this guitar for its cleans, are you?

hi, i'm newly fellow followers of ur blog. just wanna ask about this 'new' reverse head GRG121 - if compared with RGR321EX in terms of sound and feel... any idea?
the non-GIO ibanez are definitely one-up in terms of feel & tone. i own the RGR321, it's one of the best affordable guitars i own.
i mention the RGR here because this new, revised edition somehow feels superb for the money- highly recommended :-)
thanks for the info... i own 2 GIOs and plans on upgrading to RGs, especially fixed bridge RG and RGR321EX comes in mind
