Ibanez GIO GRG7221M 7-String – Metallic Light Blue
Condition: Good (Used) Up for sale is a workhorse Ibanez GRG7221M 7-string in a striking Metallic Light Blue finish. This guitar has been well-loved and shows the battle scars to prove it, but it remains a rock-solid performer for anyone looking to step into the world of 7-string guitars without breaking the bank.
Cosmetic Details: This instrument has a "broken-in" aesthetic. There are noticeable dings and scratches on both the front and back of the poplar body (see photos for details). Additionally, the black hardware shows signs of corrosion and rusting—typical for a guitar that has seen plenty of play time and humidity.
Functional Status: Despite the cosmetic wear, the guitar is in perfect working order. The electronics are clean, the 5-way selector switch functions as it should, and the Infinity R humbuckers deliver the high-output, aggressive tone Ibanez is known for. The maple neck is straight, and the jumbo frets still have plenty of life left in them.
