Thanks** A: Your standard electric guitar case would be acceptable, that is what i use, the guitar is slim so it would not be suited to an acoustic one and be wary the headstock is very slim, if you are taking it long distance put something there for extra peace of mind! **Q: Is this a wide neck guitar?** A: No, its fairly slim. **Q: Does this come with a bag or case?** A: Sorry no bag or case. we will have various ones we can supply though. **Q: What pickups does it have?** A: Neck Pickup: INFINITY (H) (Passive/Ceramic) Bridge Pickup: INFINITY (H) (Passive/Ceramic) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stay tuned! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 May 2026* A Great guitar! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbeatable quality for the price *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 May 2026* When the guitar arrived it had clearly been set up to a very highstandard. It is very easy to play with a low action and no fret buzzat all. Ibanez clearly care about their reputation when they takethis amount of care with their budget guitars. The neck is very slimand the fretboard is flat which lends itself to string bendingwithout the choking that can occur on guitars with roundednecks. While it has two humbucking pickups and no single coil, position 2 of the selecter switch enables only one of the coils in the bridge pickup. Position 4 enables a single coil in each of the pickups. Posistions 1,3 and 5 work as you would expect with bridge pickup, bridge+neck and neck respectively. So you have the best of both worlds and there is a lot of variation and a huge difference between the humbucking and single coil positions. I think this guitar has a beautiful contemporary look and is unbeatable at this price. I think it would be perfect for beginner or intermediate players. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for beginners *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 February 2026* Daughters first electric guitar, not too heavy, nice sound to it & looks the business. She’s only a beginner so didn’t want to spend too much, this was real value for money on the Black Friday deal. Paired it up with a fender 10G amp & it sounds great. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ibanez GRG121DX-BKF GIO RG Series Electric Guitar - Black Flat - TIGER STP4-BK Guitar Strap with Plectrum Holders Black - KEPLIN Guitar Stand A Frame (Black), Foldable Bass Portable Electric Universal Floor Stands, Fits All Guitars Acoustic Electric Bass A (Guitar Stand) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48280705-grg121dx-bkf-gio-electric-guitar-black-flat-poplar-body-grg](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48280705-grg121dx-bkf-gio-electric-guitar-black-flat-poplar-body-grg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
