GRG250P Black Night (w/ Edge III) (more images) Red copyright sprite

The GRG250P is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2009. It is made in China as part of the entry-level GIO line.

The GRG250P is one of the most affordable RG models with a double locking tremolo bridge. Other features include a basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard and pickguard-mounted Ibanez pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil.

In 2009 and 2010 different versions were produced for different markets: a version with an ILT1 tremolo for Asian markets and a version with an Edge III tremolo elsewhere. The Edge III tremolo was adopted globally for 2011.

In 2010 two new finishes were introduced: Beam Blue and Orange. The GRG250P was discontinued after 2011, in all markets except China and Southeast Asia.

Several changes were introduced for 2018 including a poplar body, treated New Zealand pine fretboard and the Standard DL tremolo.

A similar model with a maple fretboard, the GRG250M, was introduced in 2014. Another similar model with sharktooth inlays and an aluminum pickguard, the GRG255DX, was added for 2016.

The GRG250P was discontinued after 2018.
