The GRG121PAR is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2023. It is produced in China as as part of the entry-level GIO line.

The GRG121PAR features an art grain poplar burl top on an okoume body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret purpleheart fingerboard with binding and sharktooth position markers. Components consist of a pair of IBZ-6 humbucking pickups with black plastic covers, a fixed bridge, a mono-unit output jack with integrated metal plate, and Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.

The GRG121DX is a related model without the art grain top.
