Today, we’re back at 42 Gear Street Four with my good friend Leigh Fuge, and we’re pitting two affordable Ibanez rock machines against one another: this is the Ibanez AZES40 and the Ibanez GRG121SP compared!

If you watch my channel, you’ll have seen quite a few videos with the Ibanez AZES guitars over the past year - these guitars were some of my favorite discoveries at 42 Gear Street Three, and I rate them extremely highly as affordable, classic Strat-type options.
This year, Ibanez have released the catchily-named GRG121SP - an RG model in the same price bracket as the AZES guitars, but with a slightly more ‘built for rock’ vibe! So it was only natural to try out the humbucker-equipped AZES40 against the new pretender.
In the video, Leigh and I play the guitars in clean and overdriven settings, plus we discuss the specs and features and try and decide which guitar would be the best buy for a beginner who’s choosing between the two.
Here are some links to the various playing samples and info bits in the video:
