Powerful pickups





Three Infinity RS pickups are featured on the Ibanex GRX70, bringing you a wide array of sounds and stylings. Two powerful ceramic-magnet humbucking pickups, one at the neck, the other at the bridge, give you high output without the muddiness. The middle single-coil pickup uses Alnico magnets to produce a super-clear vintage tone. The GRX70 is great for exploring a variety of styles. From the clear and warm sounds of country to the gritty, driving sounds of rock and metal, the Ibanez GRX70 allows you to explore and find your own unique voice as a player.





Amazing neck feel





When it comes to the guitar, the neck is central to how an instrument feels and plays in your hands. A guitar is only as playable as its neck. The Ibanez GRX70 has a smooth, fast-playing maple neck with a jatoba fingerboard ? a time-tested favorite among the guitar playing world. The comfortable neck of the GRX70 features medium-sized frets that make playing chords and notes smooth and nearly effortless.





Dive-bomb and vibrato





From huge dive-bombs to subtle vibrato to stutter-like warbling, the Ibanez GRX70's FAT 6 tremolo bridge is ready for anything you throw at it. When not in use, the tremolo is solid and in tune; when in use, it does your bidding down to the microtone. Whether you need the tremolo for cool '50s-era dips or massive metal dives, the Ibanez GRX70 is ready.
