Beginners, travelers, and young players are sure to start their musical journeys off right with an Ibanez Gio RG.

The Ibanez RG was first released back in 1987. It was a time of musical hyper-evolution where technical guitar wizardry ruled the day during the peak of glam, hair metal, and stadium rock anthems. At the same time, the seeds of new guitar-driven styles centered around thrash, metal, punk, and progressive rock were continually being sewn.

What does Ibanez RG stand for? It is widely considered to stand for ‘Roadstar Guitar,’ but these have always been quite a bit different than the other Ibanez instruments from the late 1970s and early 80s that also used the ‘Roadstar’ moniker. Now, it’s pretty much commonplace that people stick to the ‘RG’ name when referring to these post-1987 models.

In fact, if you’re drawn to the very core of these specific vintage instruments, you’ll absolutely need to check out the Ibanez Genesis collection. They are a modern homage to those very first RG models and these Japanese-made instruments touch on all of those unique characteristics, including the original bold neon finishes!

While music has continued to expand, change, and grow, the RG and its core build has remained a constant. Ready to rock in every way possible, your next musical step in the world of guitar will be a big one with an Ibanez RG.
