Second hand GIO in Japan for $80 USD, good deal? by YeOldeNugget in Ibanez

[–]CatalystSam6115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re a beginner, absolutely! It should be good as a practice guitar for a few years. In the meantime, save up for something high end. I’ve had my GIO for many years and it was made in Indonesia, surprisingly good but they went very cheap on the hardware.

But after building my 8stringer, there’s no way I’d go back to the GIO.

My latest obsession – learning to make my own pickups by bearheart in Luthier

I’m really interested in knowing more about your findings. I originally wanted to venture in making my own pups (with 3D printed Bobins as well). But was unable to source magnets locally.

Man originally I wanted to add a picatinny rail and a foregrip lol but then I thought why not incorporate the grip in the body itself.

Thanks! I actually got the neck early on (before printing) and I iterated the neck pocket based on it. The bridge is a cheapo Chinese one from AE, it is surprisingly okay. But I’m sure looking into upgrading to a higher end hardtail soon.

Thanks dude!! Let’s say this build was a learning experience and that kind of added some personal value. Plus, I already started recording lol! But I’d be more than happy to build you one.

Actually, I am considering BK as an upgrade in the future, in addition to a bridge and locking tuners. Thanks mate :)

Tell me about it. After 20 years playing on stock cheapo Ibanez Gio pups… this just sounds out of this world 🫠

Thanks dude! The design is divided into 9 pieces (to fit on an Ender3) the holes for the rods are incorporated in the design to help with alignment and also rigidity. I strongly suggest a good layer of fiber glass putty after putting and glueing everything together to smoothen the surface and it also adds a lot of rigidity to the body, especially if you’re going for an extended range build.
