The Ibanez GR, or Ghostrider is a series of electric guitars produced by Ibanez. Ibanez first produced the Ghostrider prototypes in their Los Angeles Custom Shop.[1] Structurally, it resembles the Ibanez Artist (AR) guitars of the 1970s. The neck has the same width and 2434" scale length as the Artist but Ibanez reduced the depth of the body-top arch to produce a flatter profile more like the modern guitars they were producing in the Ibanez RG series guitars.

Ghostrider models

[edit]

There were three Ghostrider models produced. All were set-neck construction:

GR220

[edit]

The GR220 had minimalist dot-inlays, chrome hardware, a carved maple top, and two GRP90 pickups. Finishes came in black (GR220BK), a vibrant green (GR220TB) and an enchanting transparent blue. Produced during 1995, 1996.

GR320

[edit]

The GR320 came with dot inlays and dual humbuckers and was available in black (GR320BK) and cherry (GR320CH) with black hardware.[1] It had a Fender Telecaster style bridge, and the bridge humbucker was mounted in this housing. Al Jourgensen was pictured with this guitar in an old Ibanez advertisement. They were introduced in 1994[1] and produced for a very short time.

GR520

[edit]

The GR520 had a pair of 'Infinity' humbuckers, an alder body with a carved maple top, gold hardware, pearl/abalone block inlays and either vintage sunburst (GR520VS) or orange sunburst (GR520OS) finishes. It was introduced in 1994.[1]
