If you’re looking for excellent quality at a great price, Ibanez have gone the extra mile to ensure this with their latest Spot Run models. The GRX40 is expertly crafted using a prime choice of materials and hardware to provide you with a comprehensively stunning playing experience.
BODY
The GRX40 features a deep double cutaway body which opens up access to the neck, including the higher registers of the neck. This shape also gives the guitar a snug feel against your body, ideal when wielding onstage. The body is constructed from poplar, providing a lightweight feel as well as a well-balanced range of bright tones. The mix of poplar and maple produces a wide range of responsive tones.
NECK
Firmly fitted to the body of the GRX40 is a smooth Maple neck with a GRX profile which feels superb in the hand. The neck is sturdy and can withstand plenty of heavy playing. Topping the neck is a Jatoba fingerboard which is home to 22 medium-sized frets, adorned with white dot inlays to guide you along.
INFINITY ELECTRONICS
Powering the enormous sound output of the GRX40 is a trio of Infinity pickups. The guitar features the HSS pickup configuration, excellently blending Single coils with a Humbucker. These ceramic pickups are versatile and responsive to your playing style. From complex chording to harmonic riffs, these pickups can achieve the sound you want.
Ibanez have stuck with a fairly simple control layout, including pots for Master Volume and Master Tone plus a 5-position blade pickup switch.
HARDWARE AND FINISH
The lower bout of the body is equipped with a T106 tremolo bridge with a screw-in tremolo arm. You can perform extreme string bends and vibrato without having to worry about your strings falling out of tune. This is also helped by the reliable tuners fitted to the headstock in their six-in-line formation.
