Designed for players seeking a compact, high-quality instrument, it offers professional-grade playability and tone in a travel-friendly size, making it perfect for beginners, pros on the move, or anyone craving a smaller neck without compromise. ## Description The Ibanez Mikro 3/4 scale electric guitar is perfect for last minute rehearsals, running scales while waiting for downloads, young rockers just joining the fray or anyone who just wants a smaller neck and body. Not to be confused with other small guitars, the Ibanez Mikro is no toy. Mikro features the same construction, high quality and careful set-up of the Ibanez full size GRX and GRG models. Mikro's 22" inch scale length (standard guitars feature a neck scale from 24 3.4" to 25 1/2") makes it the right choice for beginner players or pros practicing on the tour bus. Review: My lifetime favorite guitar, so far! - Best guitar for it's price range. I fell in love with this guitar. Everything feels premium quality. The built is just top notch! Even the strings that it comes with sound great. The action is perfection, the finish has had no issues after years, & the size makes it so fun to play. It also holds a tune for a long time! Thanks Ibanez for keeping great guitars affordable. I wish you'd make every kind of instrument! Review: Sweet 3/4 scale electric guitar. - I loved my lost Ibanez RG full sized guitar. Haven't played much since, then recently had to have surgery on my fret hand and decided it would be good therapy to pick up a guitar again. My acoustic wasn't working well for this, so thought of getting a 3/4 scale electric. I so like this smaller scale, easier on my fret hand, nice neck (reminiscent of the wizard neck on the RG), great quality manufacturing. I plan to swap in some Seymour Duncan pick-ups and lower the saddles on the bridge a bit more, but for now, factory pick-ups it is. I play thru a Bugera V5 Amp which I purchased from desertcart. It's a wicked little amp. { edit } Finally took the leap this past Christmas and upgraded the pickups in my miKro. Santa brought me two Seymour Duncan pickups, I must've been extra good this past year, a Custom Custom for the bridge position & a Pearly Gates for the neck. Since the pick guard was being removed for the installation, I decided to upgrade all components attached to it. I purchased genuine Gibson 500k potentiometers for the volume & tone, a NOS Russian.022 paper in oil capacitor for tone control, & a genuine Fender 3 way selector switch. I don't like being harsh on the factory components, but if I was manufacturing inexpensive guitars, it would be difficult to go cheap on the woodworking. Thus leaving the rest of the instrument to find corners to cut. The factory components work, they are an acceptable starting point from which to customize your axe. If you really want to hear your miKro sing, scream & weep then change your p-ups. It is a strange feeling spending $250 on upgrades for a $150 guitar, but if like me, you find this 3/4 scale to be your baby, it's soo worth it. I'm very, very pleased with the p-up combination I've selected. As a side note, I'm running my miKro thru a Palmer pepamp/pocket amp (which I highly recommend to all guitarists, buy it, you won't be sorry), then a coliseum reverb by ModTone and finally into a small PA system. ## Features - 6-string Solidbody Electric Guitar with Poplar Body - 2 Humbucking Pickups - Black - Rosewood Fingerboard - Maple Neck ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00GXNRAG0 | | Back Material Type | Shorter scale length ideal for players with smaller hands or preference for smaller necks | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,138 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #48 in Solid Body Electric Guitars | | Body Material | Poplar | | Body Material Type | Poplar | | Brand | Ibanez | | Brand Name | Ibanez | | Color | Black | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) audio jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 396 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00606559341702 | | Guitar Bridge System | F106 Bridge with Individual Saddles | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | H | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Not Included | | Instrument | Guitar | | Instrument Size | 3/4 (Right-Handed) | | Item Dimensions | 37 x 3 x 14 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 37.24"L x 15"W x 3.27"H | | Item Highlight | 24-fret maple neck with dual humbuckers and poplar body for practice, travel and performance | | Item Type Name | Solid-Body Electric Guitar | | Item Weight | 7.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | Ibanez | | Manufacturer Part Number | GTSGRGM21BKN | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | GRGM21BKN | | Model Number | GRGM21BKN | | Model Series | MiKro | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 22 | | String Material Type | Nickel | | Top Material Type | Poplar Wood | | UPC | 606559341702 606559530908 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Shorter scale length ideal for players with smaller hands or preference for smaller necks - **Body Material:** Poplar - **Brand:** Ibanez - **Color:** Black - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** H - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Maple - **String Material Type:** Nickel - **Top Material Type:** Poplar Wood ## Images ![RG MiKro GRGM21 - Black | 24-fret maple neck with dual humbuckers and poplar body for practice, travel and performance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rsVXr324L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: It says left handed available, is it? How do I choose it and is it the same price??** A: 😐 **Q: Is it 39"** A: Measuring my guitar, it is 35 5/8" from the tip of the headstock to the strap button on the bottom. With a 22 1/4" scale length. I love mine. Hope this answers your question. **Q: I have a question regarding the size of the guitar is 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4?** A: While there isn't really a strict definition of what constitutes 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4 guitars, the Mikro is most considered a 3/4 guitar. **Q: will a 1/4 " output jack" work on this guitar?** A: This guitar has a 1/4" output jack, so you would need a 1/4" instrument or guitar cable to connect this guitar to an amp. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My lifetime favorite guitar, so far! *by J***K on January 13, 2026* Best guitar for it's price range.

It's the first thing I would grab if my house was on fire. With that said, I didn't really want anything to replace it, but I wanted something smaller and easier to play in the bedroom and other places that make a smaller form a little more bearable (makes it so much easier to get into those port-o-potties). Anyway, it IS much easier to play in more cramped spaces, BUT, holy crap is this thing fun to play. And it plays GREAT. The feel of it is awesome. The only downsides I have, which aren't enough to care about for me for this guitar, are the neck width (a little small for my hands, but I have big hands), and maybe the dead, bland feel of the wood in this guitar. It's still worth the money, but there's a way that good wood sounds when a guitar vibrates, and this once definitely has zero of that. But that isn't going to affect playability or how it sounds to a degree. And for the money, it's just fine. In fact that's maybe not even fair to gripe about at all with a guitar this cheap. ALL new guitars need a proper setup. It also takes a few hours of playing to get it broken in a little bit. I highly suggest buffing out/polishing the frets (this took the most time, but it made the most difference for me), NEW STRINGS, adjust pickups, adjust truss rod. Besides the fret buffing, bridge pickup being too low, and a little neck relief added, mine was actually in great shape. I also adjusted the bridge saddles a bit to match the radius of the fret board. I am only saying all of the setup stuff because I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this guitar being junk because it plays like crap. It WILL play like crap out of the box. You have to do more than tune it... It's a music instrument. It desperately needs intonation and new strings. Ibanez did this at the factory but that was in China, and it happened many months before it showed up in your hands. It's easy to do, and it will get this guitar up to its potential. I can't believe the build quality of this thing for 150 bucks. I highly recommend it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Ibanez RG MiKro GRGM21 - Black - New bee Guitar Cable 10ft Electric Instrument Bass AMP Cord for Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle to Straight, Black) - Fender Frontman 10G Guitar Amp, 10 Watts, with 2-Year Warranty, 6 Inch Fender Special Design Speaker, 5.75Dx10.25Wx11H Inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4356985-rg-mikro-grgm21-black-24-fret-maple-neck-with-dual](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4356985-rg-mikro-grgm21-black-24-fret-maple-neck-with-dual) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
