Description

Ibanez positioned the GRX70QATKS within the RG Gio series, a line designed to deliver the RG platform's fast-playing characteristics at an accessible tier. The guitar carried a quilted maple art grain top over a poplar body, paired with a maple neck and a bound purpleheart fretboard with white dot inlays across 22 medium frets.

Hardware was finished in chrome throughout. The T106 tremolo bridge provided vibrato functionality with a 10.5mm string spacing, set up from the factory in standard tuning with a .009–.042 string gauge. The 648mm (25.5") scale neck measured 42mm at the nut and 57mm at the 22nd fret, with a thickness of 19.5mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the twelfth, over a 305mm radius fretboard. Pickup configuration was a hum-single-hum arrangement: Infinity R ceramic passive humbuckers at the neck and bridge, and an Infinity RS ceramic passive single-coil in the middle position.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — tremolo components, fret wire matched to the medium specification, or pickups compatible with the HSH routing — are advised to consult a qualified guitar technician who can confirm fit against the instrument's actual dimensions before purchasing.

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.

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.

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.
