  • Not Included
  • Product Description

    The Ibanez Mikro 3/4 scale electric guitar is perfect for last minute rehearsals, running scales while waiting for downloads, young rockers just joining the fray or anyone who just wants a smaller neck and body. Not to be confused with other small guitars, the Ibanez Mikro is no toy. Mikro features the same construction, high quality and careful set-up of the Ibanez full size GRX and GRG models. Mikro's 22" inch scale length (standard guitars feature a neck scale from 24 3.4" to 25 1/2") makes it the right choice for beginner players or pros practicing on the tour bus.

    Wow, I am very impressed!

    Wow, I am very impressed!
    I am giving this 5 stars taking in consideration the price point. I purchased this as a practice guitar. My use case is to have an inexpensive decent playing 3/4 size guitar to practice during the day. It's a great chair or couch guitar, even chairs that have arms. No need to pull out a valuable guitar. I can walk around the house and not bang the headstock or body into doorways and so on. For the price point I can't image something better.Like other reviewers, I found tuning stability to be the only significant issue out of the box. Users can try this: Please see the first pic. Once tuned to pitch, tighten to snug the Phillips head screws. This makes the tuners harder to turn. To restring or do maint. loosen the screws and use string winder or whatever. The idea being to not wear out the bushings by keeping them tight and using a string winder for changing strings. Keep them snug tight for minor tuning adjustments then loosen them when doing extreme tension changes. I also used lubricant on the string trees and nut. Red arrows point these places out in the two pics.I included a 3rd pic of the guitar with two of it's full sized brothers also made by Ibanez for size comparison. Out if the box I didn't do much but I did it in this order, not much different from any other new guitar.- Tightened tuning pegs, the only unique thing needed compared to other new guitars.- Lubricated string trees and nut (D'Addario friction remover is an option)- Tweaked the neck relief, not very functional truss rod, but very little really needed. It came good enough for my use case.- Oiled the fingerboad which was quite dry. (F-One Oil is an option)- Polished the frets which were a bit rough. (MusiNomad has a nice kit as an option)- Raised the string height on a couple strings because I couldn't increase the neck relief.- Checked intonation which was good enough out of the box for my use case.I have long respected Ibanez guitars and even more so now. At this price I am very impressed indeed!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great guitar - perfect for small hands
    Reviewed in Canada on July 4, 2023
    This guitar is solid, and the neck is extremely easy to play. I feel empowered, because I can reach the low E string. As an adult with short fingers and a smaller palm size, I had to do my research. This guitar fit the bill. It looks like an instrument made for adults that children can use. Not the other way around.

    I left the protective plastic on the face of the instrument, so it looks a bit off in the picture. It's not in the way, so I left it for now. I did remove the protective plastic from the pickups. I purchased this from Cosmo Music, and it arrived with a grantee that it works and was set up. It was ready to play on arrival. They also packaged it securely using a second box filled with bubble wrap. The courier crushed the outer box, but the guitar and it's box were in perfect condition.
