Description
The Ibanez GRG140-SB Sunburst is a sleek RG style electric guitar designed for new players and developing guitarists who want an easy playing instrument with the punch to cover rock, pop and blues. Its fast feeling neck, contoured body and classic HSS pickup layout make it a confident choice for a first serious guitar or a step up from a basic starter bundle. The gloss sunburst finish and crisp white pickguard give it a timeless look on stage or in the practice room, while the light overall weight helps younger players keep focus on technique rather than fighting the instrument.
Built in the Ibanez GIO line to deliver real RG performance at an accessible price, the GRG140-SB puts playability first. The slim maple neck and comfortable radius fingerboard encourage clean chords and quick scales, and the fretwork arrives tidy so low action is easy to achieve. A versatile HSS pickup set works with a five way selector to move from bright single coil sparkle to a fuller humbucker roar for heavier riffs. The synchronised tremolo adds gentle vibrato without fuss, while sealed tuners and a solid fixed neck joint keep tuning and intonation stable for longer sessions.
For UK tuition and school ensembles, this model ticks the right boxes. The full 25.5 inch scale matches the most common method material, the controls are simple, and the body shape sits neatly whether standing or seated. Hardware is sturdy enough for daily practice and rehearsal, and the electronics are quiet and dependable, so clean tones for study pieces are as achievable as overdriven sounds for bands. It represents strong value, leaving room in the budget for lessons and a small amp, and it will happily progress with the player from first chords to graded pieces and first gigs.
