Ibanez GIO (original) (raw)

The Ibanez GIO Series is an affordable guitar series produced by Hoshino Gakki (Ibanez), replacing the Cimar line. The GIO guitars are a "first step" model line, similar to Fender's Squier guitars, and Gibson's Epiphone line. These are produced as fully Ibanez branded, with a GIO logo above the standard Ibanez logo to indicate the series. This series of guitars were produced in either China or Indonesia, depending on model.
