The Ibanez Mikro GRGM21 can truly shred in smaller places than its competitors.
The Ibanez Mikro is not a toy – made to the same high standards of the other GIO series guitars. The RGRM21 has the same high-output Powersound pickups, the same construction, materials, set-up and inspection. It’s just shorter, a 22.2-inch scale neck instead of 25.5-inch, and smaller. That makes it perfect for tour buses, songwriting, running scales while downloading and, of course, for young rockers and beginners.

Feature:
Love the sound from the pickups! The string action is very light, perfect for a beginner or an accomplished player. They do not come with tremolo systems, which for me would be a drawback, but for my son it actually is great, because it will save me from having to tune it up every time he used it. Great for rock, blues, or jazz.

Quality:
There are no strings but the guitar is in great condition. Dropped it twice, didn’t break a thing. The neck is perfectly solid and beautiful. The finish is very hard to scratch or damage as well as the pick guard. I feel comfortable with lots of use of this guitar. The only thing though is its size can make a worry.

Value:
Its a good price for what you’re getting. Ok for the price I got my red mikro at, 120$ I would pay the price double just to keep it. after looking at this guitar and playing it for the first time I would of never guessed it to be this price. I would guess around 3 or 400 dollars. wow. It has the looks of a 500 dollar guitar with sound of a 300 dollar guitar. so they could of made the price this way because of the bodies size, but really that’s just an added bonus to me. Cheap and sounds like a bought it for 1000000 dollars. Check latest price.

Desirability:
The shark tooth inlay on the fret board makes this guitar stand out from the other Start copies. The pickups are much better than the usual single coil from this type of guitar. This is a great looking guitar. I can sit and look at it for hours. I’m looking to get a Ibanez RG 350dx and this guitar actually looks similar to it. It has the black on candy apple red which is my favorite combination. it is available in other good colors to. The neck is a beauty I love the shark tooth diagrams. Beyond that just set it down and step away and stare at it and u will just want to kiss this thing

Sound:
This guitar produces a way better sound than it looks it would. The pickups can sound great for metal, softy stuff, or just any rock. I think it could have a 5 way toggle switch but it still produces great sounds w/o.

Ease of Use:
It is very playable. The smaller body makes great for good solo play on the 24 fret neck. Its hard enough to get to 21st fret on my start so this makes things all fine and dandy. For a fat metal or rock sound I simply just use the neck pickup. and the bridge pickup is great for a thinner moderate rock sound that cant be beat. If u can play a regular standard sized guitar this one is no different except a lilt easier. Pretty easy to use. I got small fingers and it’s easy to move the strings around without having to strain.

Overall:
This is the perfect sized guitar for my 9 year old son. The double coil pickups and the shark tooth inlay were the reasons for buying this one over the Stratocaster Squire. I was very happy when the guitar came perfectly set up, ready to play. I would definitely buy another one.

The guitar was a backup or extra axe to have when I buy my 350dx Ibanez. but after purchase and playing time with it its now more of my main go to guitars. I love that about it. Great pickups smooth sound. Great for rock, blues, or jazz.
