I can buy a GRX20 and I wonder what the quality is of this guitar, where it's made and, most important, which tremolo it's equipped with.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, December 01, 2005 - 11:18 am:    What year are we talking about?   Olafreijnders Username: Olafreijnders Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Thursday, December 01, 2005 - 11:20 am:    I think it's a '99.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, December 01, 2005 - 5:17 pm:    The '99 catalog lists the following specs: Body: agatis Neck: grx Frets: medium Bridge: standard tremolo Neck PU: psnd1 Bridge PU: psnd2 Colors: black, red, blue Here's the description: "GRX guitars feature Powersound pickups for screaming leads, comfortable easy playing necks and a wide assortment of finishes. Yes, GRX guitars are inexpensive. But everyone is setup and inspected according to the same stringent Ibanez standards of our most expensive instruments." That's marketing talk for "these are our economy models. There's a reason why they are cheap...don't expect too much from them." I'd guess they were made in Korea. I don't believe the Chinese factories were on-line in '99. I could be wrong. What's the serial number? Might be able to figure out the factory of origin from it. Here's a link to the '99 catalog page for the GRX20: http://www.ibanezrules.com/catalogs/us/1999/99021.jpg   Olafreijnders Username: Olafreijnders Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Thursday, December 01, 2005 - 8:10 pm:    The seller said that the serialnr. is I9080343 so I guessed Indonesia. How are these tremolo's? Are they like the crappy 7ender vintage tremolo's?   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, December 01, 2005 - 8:31 pm:    Oops, I forgot about the Indonesian factories. Looks like I=Cort Indonesia factory I don't have any first hand experience with these models or parts. What kind of quality are you looking for?   Olafreijnders Username: Olafreijnders Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Friday, December 02, 2005 - 7:52 am:    I think this guitar is too expensive. He asks 150 Euro for it. (approx. $200) So I guess I look further. I've seen a nice lefty Ibanez Les Paul Custom todat for 275 Euro. I think I go after this one.   Olafreijnders Username: Olafreijnders Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Saturday, December 03, 2005 - 6:41 am:    Thanx for the info, Johns.
