Brand new for 2016 – the Ibanez RGD IX7-MPB 7-string is part of the new Iron Label RGD series and it’s metal to the core…
The RGD is Ibanez’s ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in “normal” guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, Ibanez extended the neck by one inch to a 26.5″ scale. Longer-than standard yet not overly long. The neck is still considered a “fast” neck for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes.
The Ibanez RGD IX7MPB Iron Label comes with a Poplar Burl top on a layered Ash body in (SBB) Surreal Blue Burst finish, Nitro Wizard-7 3-piece Maple/Bubinga neck, DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups, Birdseye Maple fretboard with scale length 673mm/26.5″ with 24 jumbo frets.
