No toy-by any stretch of the imagination-the Ibanez micron is conforms to the same high standards as all of our GIO series guitars. The GRGM21M features the same high-output Infinity R pickups, the same construction, same materials, same set-up and same inspection. In fact, the only difference is its shorter 22. 2-inch scale neck-something that makes it perfect for tour buses, songwriting, running scales while downloading and, of course, for young rockers and beginners.
