What does the 'GIO' tag there on the headstock, mean to you? Does it imply a second-grade instrument which you should avoid? Whatever it means, I gave this guitar a go yesterday...
We tend to be dismissive of the GIO series because they are the manufacturer's budget offerings & they still are. But this lightning beast here is a wonderful player, even the Powersound pickups in there sound very 'right' under loads of distortion. However be warned all ye in search of sparkling cleans- not quite available here. I love the neck- it has all the Wizard goodness while not being excessively thin, will definitely appeal to shredders. While there was a general acceptance of the pickups, be informed that the absence of a tone knob means you must live with the default pickups' tone character so make it a point to hear it in action before you commit to purchase.

hopefully they'll make green GRG version next year
pink lightning bolts, how about that? :-)
Maybe Angry Birds graphics.
It's quite the shocker...
