Ibanez GRX120SP-DDM — GIO Electric Guitar in Dark Dusk Metallic Matte
The Ibanez GRX120SP-DDM is a six-string GIO electric guitar with two Classic Elite humbuckers, a T106 tremolo and a 22-fret GRX maple neck. Its finish code DDM means Dark Dusk Metallic Matte. It suits guitarists looking for a familiar full-scale neck and a straightforward two-humbucker layout with a bridge that allows pitch movement.
Two Humbuckers and Five-Way Switching
The neck and bridge pickups are passive ceramic Classic Elite humbuckers. The five-way selector gives a wider range of pickup combinations than a basic three-way dual-humbucker arrangement, so you can compare fuller pickup sounds with alternative combinations for rhythm and lead parts. The guitar also has master volume and tone controls. These are physical pickup selections, not digital effects or amplifier presets.
T106 Tremolo and Playing Feel
The T106 bridge uses six individually adjustable saddles, supporting string-height and intonation setup. Its tremolo action can provide expressive pitch movement, but it also requires appropriate stringing, tuning and bridge adjustment. This is different from the fixed F106 bridge on the Ibanez GRG131DX-BKF, which does not have the same tremolo function.

Choosing Between GIO Models
Compare the GRX120SP with the GRG131DX-BKF if you want to choose between a tremolo-equipped 22-fret guitar and a fixed-bridge 24-fret guitar. For single-coil neck and middle pickups alongside a bridge humbucker, see the GSA60-WNF. Your preferred bridge, pickup response and neck reach are more useful decision factors than the finish alone.
Package note: Ibanez lists compatible recommended cases and bags for this model; that does not mean they come with every guitar. Confirm the exact tremolo arm and accessories in Barbad’s UAE supplier carton before ordering.
