Ibanez RGD7421 7 String Electric Guitar, Black Flat

More details:

Ibanez's 7-string collaboration with Steve Vai, and its result, the 7-string Universe, marked the beginning of Ibanez being the leaders in 7-string guitar building. But it wasn't until the late 90s, and the explosion of the then new or "Nu" alternative metal scene, that the instrument's possibilities began to be explored by a wide range of players in more depth. By the time other guitar makers woke up and smelled the 7-string coffee, Ibanez had already eaten their lunch. To this day, Ibanez is the only guitar maker that can claim decades of 7-string guitar building success.

Scoop Cut

Besides lightening the weight of the body, this bold horn cut provides full, comfortable access to the higher frets. The taper of these horns greatly improves player comfort at the upper end up the fretboard. These beveled edges are another of the many innovations that have come out of our relationships with Ibanez artists.

CAP-VK Pickups

Pickup magnet strength plays a crucial role in pickups designed specifically for down-tuning. Maximizing the vibration of heavy strings depends on proper selection of the pickup's magnet. Additionally, care has been taken to ensure that the output at the neck is perfectly balanced with high output at the bridge.

Gibraltar Standard 7 Bridge

The Gibraltar Standard is a simple fixed bridge that was designed to adhere firmly to the guitar body and make good transfer of the string vibrations. It is also incredibly smooth for maximum playing comfort.
