Description

Ibanez built the GRGM21BKNL as part of the GRG Mikro series, positioning it as a short-scale, left-handed electric guitar within the entry-level GRG line. The reduced 564 mm scale length defined the Mikro's place in the range, making it a compact instrument built around a poplar body and a maple neck.

The rosewood fretboard runs to 24 medium frets and carries Sharktooth inlays. Two Infinity R humbucker pickups — one at the neck, one at the bridge — feed into a fixed bridge, with all hardware finished in chrome. The headstock and hardware configuration mirror the right-handed GRGM21BKN, with the neck and body reversed for left-handed players. The finish on this variant is Black Night.

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the fixed bridge and Infinity R pickups are Ibanez-specific components; a qualified guitar technician can advise on compatible substitutes and correct setup for the short scale length.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
