Ibanez built the GRG7221WH as part of the RG Gio series, positioning it as an entry-level seven-string electric guitar within the broader RG family. The Gio line served as Ibanez's accessible tier of the RG platform, carrying the core RG format to a wider audience.
The guitar was constructed with a poplar body and a maple neck, topped with a bound Purpleheart fretboard fitted with white dot inlays and 24 jumbo frets. The neck profile is designated GRG7, with a nut width of 48mm, a width of 68mm at the 24th fret, and a 400mm radius. Thickness measures 20.5mm at the first fret and 22.5mm at the 12th. The 648mm (25.5") scale accommodates the seven-string factory tuning of B–E–A–D–G–B–E, strung with a .009–.054 set. Hardware throughout is finished in black, anchored by an F107 bridge with 10.5mm string spacing. Passive ceramic Infinity R humbuckers occupy both the neck and bridge positions.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including bridge saddles compatible with the F107's 10.5mm spacing, or Purpleheart fretboard materials — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician who can verify fit against the instrument's current condition.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
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.
Owner photos
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.
