Founded in 1908 in Nagoya, Japan, Ibanez began as a guitar importer before crafting its own instruments in 1935. Known for bold design and innovation, the brand rose to fame with iconic shredders like Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert. By the 1960s, Ibanez was shaping the global guitar scene, eventually becoming a top name in electric guitars, prized for their playability, style, and boundary-pushing sound. Compact in size, big on tone, the Ibanez GRGM21MBLT Guitar delivers full-size performance in a compact build. With its 22.2" maple neck, 24 frets, and powerful Infinity R pickups, it’s perfect for young shredders and travel-ready players alike.
