Our take on the Ibanez GRG131DX Electric Guitar

The Ibanez GRG131DX is a budget GIO-series solidbody electric aimed at beginners and players who want a second guitar for drop tunings. It pairs a basswood body with two humbuckers and a thin, fast maple neck, and its sharp RG-style looks set it apart from plain starter guitars. The best new price is $299.99 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, with two stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Ibanez GRG131DX good for beginners?
Yes. The thin neck, light body and simple hardtail bridge make it easy to learn on. Budget the cost of a professional setup so it plays its best.
Does the GRG131DX have a tremolo?
No. It uses a fixed bridge, so there is no whammy bar. That makes tuning more stable, which suits drop tunings and heavy rhythm playing.
What pickups does it have?
It has two humbuckers, one in the neck and one in the bridge. They are voiced for rock and metal and can get noisy at very high gain.
Is it a semi-hollow guitar?
No. Despite some listings labeling it semi-hollow, the GRG131DX is a solid basswood body. Expect a solidbody sound and weight.
When is the GRG131DX cheapest?
It sits near $300 new at the two stores listing it as of November 4, 2026. Holiday sales and bundle deals are the usual times to see it lower.
What comes in the box?
You get the guitar and usually a truss rod tool. A gig bag, strap, cable and amp are not included, so factor those into the total cost.
Where is the Ibanez GRG131DX Electric Guitar cheapest?
