GRG121EXSM

GRG121EXSM Natural Gray Burst

The GRG121EXSM is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2017. It is produced in China as part of the entry-level GIO line. It replaced the similar GRG121EXS.

The GRG121EXSM features a poplar body with a spalted maple top bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fretboard with white dot position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Infinity R humbucking pickups and a fixed bridge. Controls consist of only a master volume and a 3-way toggle pickup selector.

For 2018 the GRG121EXSM is listed as having either a "fixed bridge" or an F106 fixed bridge.

The GRG121EX is a similar model without the decorative top.

The GRG121EXSM was discontinued after 2018.
