My Ibanez GIO

I won't bore you with the 500,000 digit model number. I love the action on this guitar. It's playability is only surpassed by my new E-II Horizon. It won't hold time to save it's life. Don't think about using the tremolo. But it's action is superb. I'll be replacing the nut with a GraphTech nut soon. The string trees will be replaced with GraphTech string trees. I'll probably replace the saddles with GraphTech saddles. Unless I can replace the bridge with a Wilkinson bridge. I'll have to take measurements. However, I realize that doing the bridge will change my action. The single coil pick ups will be replaced with DiMarzio True Velvet pick ups. Finally, the bridge pick up will be replaced with a DiMarzio Pandamonium pick up. This is going to take a while. I know the guitar isn't worth the money these upgrades will cost, but I love this guitar and will not get rid of it.
