Description

Ibanez built the GRX70QATRB as part of the GRG Gio series, positioning it as an entry-level double-locking-style instrument within the broader RG family. The Gio line served as Ibanez's accessible tier, retaining RG-derived geometry and a HSH pickup configuration at a lower specification point.

The body was constructed from poplar, topped with a quilted maple art grain surface finished in Transparent Red Burst. The GRX maple neck carried a bound purpleheart fretboard with white dot inlays, 22 medium frets, a 42mm nut width, and a 305mm radius. Scale length was 648mm (25.5"). The T106 tremolo bridge operated with 10.5mm string spacing and was appointed in chrome hardware throughout. The pickup set comprised an Infinity R humbucker at the neck, an Infinity RS single-coil in the middle position, and an Infinity R humbucker at the bridge — all passive, ceramic-magnet units. The guitar left the factory strung with a .009–.042 set in standard E tuning.

Owners requiring tremolo block replacements, nut substitutions, or pickup swaps should verify component dimensions against the specs above before sourcing parts; a qualified guitar technician can confirm fit and carry out setup work calibrated to this instrument's geometry.

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.
