Product Description
Don't be fooled into thinking the Ibanez GSR micro is a toy. It’s made to the same high standards of the other GIO series guitars. The Gsrm20 features, small scale SR body, full sound pickups, the same construction, same materials, and same set-up and inspection as its full size counterparts. Its shorter 28. 6” scale makes it perfect for tour buses, space-restricted home studios, folks with smaller hands, as well as young rockers or beginners.

I was in awe of the guitar when I opened it. It’s perfect. Not a single flaw found. The body is glossy and pristine, and the neck is smooth and balanced. The sunburst brown color is exquisite and absolutely gorgeous, and the neck wood color is a beautiful natural finish. It looks even better in person than the stock picture shown.
I purchased mine for $179.99. No other bass comes close to that price, and it’s a Top Tier brand quality product. There was an inspection tag attached as well, which means it was thoroughly examined by the manufacturers before it was shipped to me.
This is my first bass, and I am so incredibly pleased with it. It’s a Christmas gift, so I’ve yet to actually play it, as I was only allowed to examine it for issues, and to see it for the first time (I’m expecting a mini amp, strap, and tuner as gifts to be delivered tomorrow). I’m so excited to play it.
I’ve been an experienced drummer for 12 years. I’ve thought about gettin a bass guitar for a few years, but hadn’t given much thought to it until recently. I did a bit of research on brands, products, and prices for a few days, but the moment I saw this bass, I had to have it. It caught my attention immediately. And the price couldn’t be beaten.
I HIGHLY recommend this bass. It’s a work of musical art. The short scale neck is very comfortable, so you wouldn’t have to reach so far upwards to play low notes on the fretboard.
5/5 👍🏻👍🏻 ⭐️
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024
My only complaint would be that you can't get the action too low, as due to the small size: the strings are a bit looser, which makes buzzing a bit more of an issue. But, the loose feeling of the strings contribute to its playability and make tapping still doable even without a super low action. The feel of the strings is actually actually my favorite part of this bass - all of my friends who tried it out said the same thing, it's just kind of addictive to play!
I couldn't give this anything other than 5 stars, especially for the price. Definitely a good buy

Great for small hands (my 10 year old son) and super fun for big hands (me).
