The Ibanez GAX30 GIO features a strong poplar body with an eye-catching black finish, creating a beautifully unique appearance that is ready for the stage. Its light weight poplar body combined with its sleek, smooth contours provide an incredibly comfortable playing experience, perfect for long sets and long rehearsal sessions. Additionally, its maple neck has an AX profile, offering a smooth, fast playability and added comfort. The Full Tune III bridge and tailpiece provide an incredibly stable performance, enhancing the overall resonance for improved sustain. Furthermore, its poplar body produces a high-frequency response with both bright, warm tones, clear highs, and thick lows, well-suited to a variety of playing styles.
Constructed from maple, the GIO's neck delivers a bright tonal character, creating a snappy mid-range attack with a sizzling high-end. When a player attacks the GAX30 with an aggressive strumming pattern, the maple neck adds extra layers of punch to the guitar's overall tone, whilst light to medium fingerpicking offers more clarity. In addition, the fingerboard is crafted from treated New Zealand pine, offering the player a smooth, easy playability with added aesthetic appeal due to its white block inlays. The fingerboard's treated pine construction helps to bring out the wood's natural while enhancing its lifespan, whilst its bound edges also provide a smooth play and fluid hand flexibility across the whole neck.
The GAX30 comes equipped with a set of Infinity R pickups within the neck and bridge position, offering a versatile range of tones, well-suited to a wide range of genres and playing styles. Perfect for modern playing styles, the combination of two humbuckers deliver incredibly thick, punchy tones with plenty of clarity and dynamics. Achieving the perfect pickup combination is easy with the 3-way blade, volume control, and tone control.

For decades, Ibanez designers and luthiers have been the embodiment of this ideology, pushing their skills to the edge of imagination, consistently creating some of the most versatile and unique instruments ever. Although Ibanez guitars have been made since 1908, it wasn't until the late 1980s that they began to form an identity for themselves when artists such as Steve Vai and Frank Zappa began using their instruments. Now with a huge artist clientele across the globe, Ibanez are a leading manufacturer of electric guitars and basses and a first choice for many dedicated musicians.
