GDTM21

GDTM21 Candy Apple

The GDTM21 is a compact Destroyer-styled solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez in late 2011. It is part of the miKro series of short-scale guitars and was made in China as part of the entry level GIO line.

The GDTM21 was (along with the Iceman-shaped GICM21 released concurrently) the first non-RG-style body in the Mikro series line. The GDTM21 features a downsized basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with a 22" scale and pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Powersound humbucking pickups with cream bobbins which are mounted in cream pickup rings, a gold fixed bridge, and gold die-cast tuning machines.

The GDTM21 was discontinued after 2012.
