Perhaps TS doesn't understand the Ibanez products.
For Ibanez,
GIO is Made In China/Indonesia (correct me if i'm wrong)
Premium is Made In Indonesia
Prestige and J.Custom are Made In Japan
So TS' description of "Ibanez GIO Premium made-in-Japan" doesn't really make sense.
But looking at the pic, the headstock clearly shows "GIO", so, it's Made In China/Indo.
Price-wise, $1000 for a GIO is quite something... No comments...
