It is one of the most affordable RG models still featuring a double locking tremolo. Other features include a basswood body, a bolt-on maple neck with bound rosewood fingerboard and Ibanez pickups. From 2008 through 2010, two different versions were produced for different markets: a version with an ILT1 tremolo and a version with an Edge III tremolo. A very similar model without the fingerboard binding is the GRG270B. The GRG270DX is another similar model with sharktooth inlays. The GRG270 was also sold as part of a Jumpstart kit with an amp and other accessories as the GRG270J.
