Ibanez miKro GRGM21-BKN

The Ibanez miKro GRGM21 gives a small guitar a distinctly rock character

An electric guitar doesn't have to be large to be taken seriously. The Ibanez miKro GRGM21-BKN is a compact guitar that is ideal for beginner players looking for a manageable instrument. Even if you already play guitar and like having something small close at hand, this is an interesting choice. The miKro concept revolves around a modest size with the look and possibilities of a real electric guitar. This model combines that idea with two humbuckers and the recognizable Sharktooth inlay on the fretboard.

The two Infinity R humbuckers give you a good foundation to discover electric guitar sounds. Both pickups are passive and use ceramic magnets. This allows you to get started with a direct attack and a solid character, for example when practicing riffs and power chords with a distorted amplifier sound. You don't have to limit yourself to rock, though: also try a cleaner amplifier setting to hear how differently the same guitar can respond. It is precisely that experimentation that makes a first electric guitar so much fun.

Ibanez builds the GRGM21 with a poplar body and a maple neck with the GRGM profile. The jatoba fretboard has white Sharktooth inlays and features 24 medium frets. This leaves room at the top of the neck to explore melodies and simple solos. The fixed F106 bridge has a string spacing of 10.5 millimeters and keeps the construction straightforward. The guitar uses the standard E tuning, so you can get started with standard lesson materials, chord charts, and backing tracks.
