*My Opinion* The Gio is totally amazing for its price. Of course: you can hear when you pitch shift down to Drop A you loose a lot of gain. Here the S series wins clearly. Other than that... man you can get some badass pinches out of the guitar. Also: the Gio gets minus points for a „clear mix“. When you add up tracks played with this model you don’t get the clarity like with the S series. Yet again... I didn’t EQ the guitars to emphasize their sweet spots! You can hear that the s series adds more definition and that it serves with more clear tone. But... for 1800€ less you get an amazing instrument! 😊👍 Also: Upgrade you amp first when you feel comfortable with your guitar! Because playability always comes first! And also here the Gio is good!

To feel the difference of any guitar, need to listen to how its tree sings, harmonics, overtones, sustain. The price is determined by the musicality of the tree. Cheap guitars only have "sings of strings", without tree.You're right! I have Ibanez C540, the great era of the 90s, thank you for good channel , very quality and cool!

In my opinion, that already had several budget guitars, the Gio is definitely one of the best budget. It is very confortable. The scale is top notch right from the factory. The thing is that you have to give it a setup before you play. The pickups are not the best such as the electronics, but, what i do is, i disassemble the eletronics, do a nice copper wrap, change the wiring and pots and the jack plug. The switch is good quality so you don't have to change. Lemon oil on the scale, get down the bridge and new strings. Set up the pickups high and you're ready to go

The more I hear that little GIO, the more impressed I am. The S Series is better. It's clearer and less compressed, but it's much closer than I expected for the price. Definitely not 10x better. I guess you're paying more for looks, feel, quality of components, and being made in Japan. :) An expensive guitar is just going to be a nicer experience and make you want to play it more. To be fair, the amp and the playing (and your excellent EQ/mixing) have far more influence on tone. Pretty sure I would make both of those sound a lot worse haha. Really cool video. \m/

I can hear a difference, the s-series is slightly more fuller sounding which allows for more clarity within a mix but it's remarkable how good the Gio is. Could you do a test on how well they keep in tune by comparison to each other as well and let us know how that goes? How do they feel to play? I have always found much of the cost for a guitar is in the playing comfort and confidence you can have in it as a player, at least for non-signature/non-replica series guitars.

Get yourself an inexpensive guitar that you find beautiful (seriously...you are beginning, get something pretty) from a reputable brand (easier to sell if you eventually realize that guitar is not your cup of tea), but do yourself a favor, invest a bit more in the amp.

It isn't about the guitar. It's about what you've got in your head, heart and hands. That's what I've been told, anyway.

That’s 50% true. There is always a setup that might turn the biggest guitar god to just a good decent player. Still decent but not 100% amazing anymore ;)

As an owner of the ibanez rgix ($1,000) and primarily an RG user for the last 15 years, I can honestly say I WANT THIS GIO SO BADDDDDD!!!!!!!

3 points: 1- The Ibanez Gio series was fu##ing amazing. Maybe cheap one, but in a good hands you must have to hear carefully or you miss the small differences. The hands that play it was more important than it's price! 2- I got an RG421 and it sounds amazing, the most comfortable guitar i've played. I love the Ibanez guitars. 3- I love how you play, i love you're attitude... damn! I think i'm in love!. ¿Can I get a clon of you for christmas? Joke's aside, you're an amazing guitarist!

It proves you can sound good on a budget. Once you're truly serious the difference is huge. Noticeably crisper and cleaner. I remember you had beginning amp recommendations. Going to have to check that out next. Thanks!

Greetings, Yasi, I just bought the 131EX for my 14-year-old son and it's his first guitar, he told me I want that one and well I saw your battle and I'm honest I'm a bassist not a guitarist and your Green Ibanez is really cool but for me both have a sound brutal and similar both sound almost similar no difference notice. good video

They sound extremely similar. The 2000 € one sounds better for single notes, nothing that a pickup change (could be carried out for less than 100 €) can't remedy. No use spending 1800 € more, the 200 € does the trick for a quick metal fix!

As a non-guitar player, I think the black Ibanez is a rhythm guitar while the green Ibanez is the lead guitar. The Green one has a clearer tone for the lead solos while the black one has an awesome subdued sound for ripping out the riffs. :)

I decided to test this out on my girlfriend, who isn’t a guitar player! She could immediately tell a difference between the two and pointed at the green one being the expensive one. She did say after that the black one looks 🔥lol. I’m trying to get her to understand that price sometimes makes a big difference but also that you can upgrade a lower priced guitar to sound great as well! Great video!! My girl says she loves your hair!! Lol

This comparison of the Ibanez Prestige and the GIO is the perfect example of The Law Of Diminishing Returns. The average person listening to music isn’t going to notice the difference between the $2000 Prestige and $200 GIO. Hell, most Musician’s wouldn’t be able to notice the difference between these two guitars if you did not show them the guitars you were playing. So is the Prestige worth the $1800 more than the $200 GIO based on the sound it produces when both guitars are played through the same signal chain & rig? The answer is NO. This is the law of diminishing returns. After a certain point the difference is not worth the money paid for the slight increase in quality / sound/ performance of instruments. This law applies to all products sold to consumers from toothbrushes to yachts! Swap pickups on the GIO with Fishmans and you will have a bad ass guitar for half the price of the Prestige!🎸

It's funny how things happen. I have a Gibson Gothic Explorer, Schecter C7 Apocalypse,Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe and a Ibanez DX. I just got the Schecter and needed a case but the one that came didn't work so I sent it back. After giving up on their case options I told them to send me the Gio instead. Last night I opened the box and it was flawless. Wish these were available when I first started playing but that was 50 years ago. Then I do my usual, watch KZitem to see what's new and there's JJ shredding it on the Gio. Hers is the best demo so far. Love what you do JJ. As far as the comparison for me its a no brainer Gio wins.

They both seem to keep in tune the whole time. I believe it’s about the pickups. A cheaper guitar as opposed to an expensive guitar from the same company still has a great quality. The cheaper one still has there brand, so there will still be a great sound. Both sounded great. Keep the videos coming. You’re amazing.

Everyone keeps talking about the clarity of the S Series. That can be fixed on the GIO, buy some good pups and now you have a total of 400-450 where the S series is 2K. GIO all day! On a side note, your playing is incredible! New SUB.
