A very nice guitar
The quality and sound is great in my opinion. The only thing which I have to point out is that there was no luthier setup whatsoever. The fret ends were very sharp and were sticking out, I haven't seen so sharp frets on any new guitar befere. For me it's fine, because I have tools and I do this kind of setup work myself, but it would add around 100 euro to the cost if I had to pay for the setup. Other than that everything is great. The frets are leveled, no issues with the finish. Ah yes, one more thing, the G string slot was a bit high on the nut, so I had to cut it deeper. I liked the sound of the pickups for heavier types of music, which I think this guitar is for. You can see the setup I did and the sound of the bridge pickup here: https://youtu.be/YIVyTrDim4c

A beautiful guitar to look at and a great guitar to play
Ibanez GIO have really impressed with their good quality instruments, with great features and sound. This guitar initially had a reputation for microphonic pickups, but I guess Ibanez have sorted out that problem, as I found the pickups were very good. The paint on this guitar is fantastic, and the fact that you can get that "dynamic and alive" type of paint on a budget guitar is a great thing for all guitarists.
