The Ibanez GRGR330EX BKF (Black Flat) is a bold and affordable addition to Ibanez’s GIO RG series, tailored for rock and metal enthusiasts. This guitar features a sleek all-black finish including hardware, pickguard, and sharktooth inlays—delivering a dark and aggressive aesthetic that stands out on any stage.
Crafted with a lightweight poplar body and a bolt-on maple neck sporting a fast GRG profile, it’s built for speed and comfort. The bound purpleheart fingerboard with 24 medium frets allows fluid playability, while the reverse headstock adds a modern twist. Equipped with a locking nut and double-locking tremolo bridge, it’s ideal for dive bombs and heavy vibrato—all while maintaining tuning stability.
Sonically, the GRGR330EX delivers tight and dynamic tones through its dual Infinity R humbuckers. The 5-way selector switching adds tonal versatility—from warm neck humbucker tones to aggressive bridge crunch—making it excellent for everything from rhythm riffs to lead solos.
