Ibanez Left-Handed Gio GRX70QAL Electric Guitar - Transparent Blue Burst
Ibanez Left-Handed Gio GRX70QAL Electric Guitar - Transparent Blue Burst | Infinity HSH Matrix
Instrument Type: Left-handed double-cutaway solidbody electric guitar
Neck Specifications: One-piece maple neck with GRX profile, 12-inch (305mm) radius, satin polyurethane finish, and bolt-on neck joint
Body Material: Solid poplar body finished in gloss polyester with a quilted maple art grain top veneer
Pickup Configuration: HSH layout with an Infinity R bridge humbucker, Infinity RS single-coil middle pickup, and Infinity R neck humbucker (all passive ceramic magnetics)
Hardware & Bridge: Ibanez T106 tremolo bridge with 6 independent saddles, 10.5mm string spacing, chrome hardware finish, and enclosed die-cast machine heads
Scale & Nut Width: 25.5-inch (648mm) scale length, 42mm plastic nut, and 22 medium frets on a jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays
High-Performance Ergonomics and Resonant Tonewood Architecture
Contoured Poplar Chassis and Quilted Maple Art Grain Top
The physical foundation of this model bridges vintage tracking comfort with elite performance tolerances from a left-handed perspective. Built from highly resonant poplar, the contoured body provides a balanced, mid-forward acoustic core characterized by crisp articulation and an even low-end distribution. The quilted maple art grain top adds visual distinction and structural rigidity, maintaining string-to-body vibration transfer. Upper register fret access is optimized through the carved heel design of the bolt-on neck joint, which drops the neck seating deeper into the pocket to clear the left hand completely when working up to the 22nd fret. The back body contours adapt organically to sitting or standing performance positions, minimizing muscle fatigue over extended tracking sessions.
GRX Profile Maple Neck and Hardened Medium Frets
The neck architecture utilizes a premium solid maple construction that resists mechanical twist and environmental shifts, stabilizing the wood fibers against climate shifts, humidity fluctuations, and rigorous mechanical tension. This maple construction hosts a 12-inch radius jatoba fretboard, bringing a fast feel and dense mid-range snap to complex chord voicings and rapid lead passes. Crowned with 22 medium frets, the neck assembly eliminates the friction felt during extreme wide-interval string bends. The fretboard wire profile ensures exceptionally long-term wear resistance, protecting the crown profile from premature pitting or grooving while keeping intonation precise.
Advanced Ceramic Magnetics and Expanded Matrix Electronics
Infinity R and RS Passive Voice Matrix
Sonically anchored by a high-output HSH pickup configuration engineered with ceramic magnets, the onboard electronics deliver a powerful voice optimized for overdriven tube preamps and high-gain digital profiling rigs. The bridge humbucker is wound for focused note separation, punching through complex dense mixes with structural midrange authority and tight, percussive bass transients. Conversely, the neck pickup yields a rich, liquid-smooth response with warmer, rounded overtones, perfect for clean jazz syncopations or soaring high-register fusion leads. Positioned in the center, the Infinity RS single-coil provides a bright, chime-like snap that delivers excellent note definition and clear acoustic string dynamics.
Onboard 5-Way Blade Switchable Routing Network
The real power of this tonal design lies in the integration of the 5-way blade switching matrix, controlled via independent master volume and master tone pots. This setup unleashes five distinct pickup configurations, transcending standard multi-pickup boundaries. Moving the blade activates specific routing paths that shift the coils between pristine true single-coil operations and parallel humbucking runs. Furthermore, the specialized wiring matrix introduces an authentic single-coil character in the combined split-coil positions that preserves low-end presence and output level, preventing the typical volume drops associated with simple coil-splitting. This layout features a solid, mono-unit output jack constructed from a single metal piece to eliminate loose components and prevent grounding failure, allowing you to jump from aggressive metal rhythms to glass-clear funk strums instantly without touching your amp's volume trim.
