"Why spend $2000 or $3000 when you can spend $900???"
Feature:
This guitar has all the expected features, double locking trem, locking nut, and or course, more strings :D
Quality:
Overall, I still give this guitar a 10. It is my first 7 string, but I've played many, and for $900, with the locking trem and such, this guitar is worth every penny.
Value:
This guitar has so much potential. It will be worth it still several months or years down the road. And if you wanted to boost that, just throw in some better pickups.
Desirability:
The pickups being set into the body is always a biggie for me. That adds to a more solid look on the guitar, and I like that finish on the hardware alot.
Sound:
As far as sound quality goes, this guitar is great. Sustain is very nice, on lingering notes and harmonics. The wood is very good, the only reason for lack of a 10 is that the pickups could always be better, like a nice set of DiMarzios or some EMGs. But they are still very good for stock pickups.
Ease of Use:
As with all 7 strings, it takes some getting used to. If you're like me and have a 6 string tuned to B, you'll get a little stumped when going up and your jump isn't from F# to B, it's G to B, which gets a little annoying for the first couple hours on things like sweeping.
Support:
Ibanez has great support, and the warranty covers pretty much everything. I've never even had to deal with them though, because their products are pretty rock solid.
Overall:
I think I'll be very satisfied with this guitar for a long time to come. The only thing that I could think of changing about it is again, the pickups.

"www.myspace.com/fourmisanthrope CHECK US OUT WE COMIN TO A HOOD NEAR U!!"
Feature:
there are things about this guitar i dont even understand yet. i cant even begin to explain what this guitar can do and what it features but there is a lot of features to it.. all i can say is it comes with an instruction manual! Now i dont know about everyone else but i have never seen a guitar with an instruction manual.. and it goes way way deeper than just how to use ur tremelo. when/if u buy it.. make sure to read it trust me
Quality:
The make is AMAZING!! Normally seven strings are a bit heavy cause they're bigger and fatter.. This guitar however is ridiculously light.. Which helps alot with speed.. u dont feel so weighed down..The finish is beautiful its a much darker blue than in the picture but it looks a hell of a lot better in my opinion.i havent had this guitar very long so i'm to sure how dependable it is But its Ibanez so what would u expect, the name says it all. this is my show guitar it sounds to sexy not to be. And with the way the guitar is built and the specs on it (that u should definitely pay close attention to) i feel that is very dependable and will last for many shows to come
Value:
its worth it if u know ne thing about 7's then u know about the K-7 at least somewhat which by the way was a 1400 dollar guitar. I wanted that guitar for the longest time but they discontinued it...bummer! But this what i'm gettin at is this is VERY if not the same as that guitar for 500 bucks cheaper and the case u get with it is great it thick and sturdy so it will be able to take a betting and still keep her safe. The case it self is probably like... 150-200 bucks by itself so what u get for the price... u cant beat it
Desirability:
i wanted this guitar as soon as i saw it! and i'm overbearingly picky about what guitar i am gonna buy i'll walk into a music shop with a pocket full of loot and wont buy ne thing cause nothing appeals. If i say this guitar in a shope i would have gotten it probably 3x quicker it looks A LOT better in person. sexy is an understatement take one look at this guitar fresh out the box i guarantee ur jaw will drop... Mine did, and i'm generally that guy who is different to everything... i get compared to Cartman from south park a lot actually. I commend Ibanez on this guitar it is a pure work of art one of their best if u ask me.
Sound:
First off in about a week or so this guitar sound will be on my bands webpage after we get done with studio stuff so if u wanna here how it sounds and some good metal check us out.
I'm an active guitarist in a metal/nu-metal band. This guitar is AMAZING!! i was using a 7 string esp with EMG actives in it...it has a beautiful sound as well but the Rg1527 crushes it hands down. this guitar has one of the best sounds i have every heard coming from a seven string guitar... You get the low end crunch that u are looking for but instead of ur sound being muffled cause of the really low tuning, it's like ur on stage all the time. plug in and play... you'll see
Ease of Use:
I own four six strings and 2 seven strings. Out of all of them the Rg is the only guitar that i have bought that when u take it out of the box its ready to go right then... the only thing i had to do was drop the tuning because it comes standard B and i play in A.. other than that i didnt have to make any adjustments what so ever i simply plugged in and ripped and it was awesome.
Support:
i had an issue with my credit card for some reason, i think the guy ook down a wrong number or something but customer service acted promptly on the issue. (for u not so educated people out there promptly mean on time, see u do learn somethin new everyday) they fixed the issue quickly and got me my guitar so as far as i'm concerned thumbs up...good job Zzounds
Overall:
I will be happy with her for a while.. And really i think when it's time for a new one i'm gonna get a custom guitar set up pretty much the same way as the RG1527 with some add ons of course. I couldn't replace it the only way it would not b my primary guitar is if i found something better.. i doubt it.
