Ibanez GRGM21M Mikro Short-Scale Electric Guitar (Metallic Purple)

The Ibanez GRGM21M delivers genuine full-size tone and playability at exceptional value — sized perfectly for young players and beginners, and ideal for Global Music Academy students alike. Its 22.2-inch short scale makes fretting and chord-forming significantly easier for smaller hands, while a pair of Infinity R humbuckers, a fast Maple fretboard, and a striking Metallic Purple finish deliver serious performance and bold personality in one exciting package.

Highlights

• 22.2-inch short scale: The Mikro platform is designed for players with smaller hands — easier fretting, easier chords, and comfortable reach for young learners
• Infinity R humbuckers, neck & bridge: Accurate, tight sound with excellent dynamics that stay clear even under heavy gain — serious tone in a compact body
• Striking Metallic Purple finish: Eye-catching looks that make practice something to look forward to
• Maple fretboard with black dot inlay: Crisp, bright highs and strong upper mids for a clear, articulate character; 24 medium frets on a smooth 400 mm radius
• Poplar body: Well-balanced tone with impressive thickness in a light, comfortable instrument
• F106 fixed bridge: Enriches sustain with easy, independent string-height adjustment — reliable and low-maintenance for developing players
• 5-way lever switching: One volume, one tone, and a 5-way switch for a versatile palette of pickup combinations
• Featherweight at 3.3 kg: Light enough for young shoulders, comfortable through the longest lessons

Get Started the Right Way

Building proper technique begins with the right instrument. The Mikro's short scale and slim maple neck put every fret comfortably within reach, letting young students form clean chords and accurate notes from day one — building confidence and correct technique instead of frustration. It's an ideal first electric guitar that supports years of confident progression.

Big Tone in a Small Package

Don't let the compact size fool you. The Infinity R humbuckers deliver tight, dynamic output with full tonal clarity — from sparkling clean tones to hard-driving rock — while the maple fretboard adds crisp articulation up and down all 24 medium frets. Paired with the poplar body's balanced, thick character, the GRGM21M sounds like a serious instrument because it is one.

Built to Grow With the Player

The F106 fixed bridge enriches sustain and makes string-height adjustment simple and independent per string — an easy, dependable platform for developing players. Bolt-on construction, chrome hardware, and Ibanez machine heads round out a guitar that's low-maintenance, reliable, and ready for every lesson and practice session.

Compact, Comfortable, and Impossible to Ignore

At just 3.3 kg and 1065 mm long, the Mikro is easy for young players to hold, carry, and store — and the Metallic Purple finish guarantees it stands out in any classroom or bedroom. It's proof that a beginner's guitar never has to look or sound like one.
