You'll certainly stand out in the crowd with the Ibanez Iron Label RGIF7 electric guitar. This axe is the metal, rock, or shredder's absolute dream. It features a warm, resonant ash body in a striking RG shape, an incredibly fast Nitro Wizard 7 five-piece maple/bubinga neck, 24 multi-scale jumbo frets with a longer scale length at the seventh string, a buttery rosewood fingerboard, a pair of active EMG 808X black-stained humbuckers with alnico magnets, stark cosmo black hardware, and a tight and secure Mono-Rail bridge anchoring all seven strings down.

Ash Body with Rugged Good Looks

Ibanez's popular RG body shape offers a striking look as well as a comfortable feel. The double-cutaway contour gives your fingers easy access to all 24 frets, and this axe's curves rest against your front in a cozy fit. Ash bodies are great for getting a hard distorted tone. As a tonewood, its resonance is somewhat bright but doesn't neglect the low end. The ash on your Iron Label RGIF7 offers a very intriguing grain pattern as well.

A Neck with Serious Speed

This neck was built for fast fingers. All 24 frets are housed in a buttery rosewood fingerboard stretched over a five-piece maple/bubinga composite. The action on this appendage is tough to beat.

EMG 808X Humbuckers

Nothing hits that metal tone like a pair of EMG humbuckers. The EMG 808X pickups on your Iron Label RGIF7 pack a powerful punch to fuel your signal with a spine-cracking wall of metal/rock tone. Both humbuckers are read more active and utilize alnico magnets, boasting a clear and articulate output when played clean, and a hair-raising searing punch when you crank up the gain.

Ibanez Iron Label RGIF7 Electric Guitar

As the legion of converts to the "made-for-metal" Iron Label series continues to grow, Ibanez continues to work at providing new instruments for those guitarists who choose to take the road less traveled. In keeping with this objective, Ibanez has, once again, broken new ground with the introduction of the RGIF7--the first ever production fanned-fret 7-string electric.

While the trapezoidal 27"/25.5" scale, RGIF7 may initially seem strange or intimidating to the novice, initiates quickly take to how this design optimizes individual string tension to create a more "open" or "alive" tone that not only expands harmonic complexity, but also offers a more comfortable playing experience.

The RGIF7 features an Ash body finished in a transparent stain that allows the natural markings of the wood's grain to emerge, creating a dark, dramatic effect. Matched with a Nitro Wizard 5-piece Maple/Bubinga neck, these diverse woods work together to create a brighter tone that brings both clarity and definition to even the deepest notes of the lower spectrum.

Working from the philosophy that playing comfort translates into speed, the RGIF7 features a spacious bound Rosewood fretboard that both enhances playing agility and optimizes articulation. Designed for both stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes "cross-talk" between strings and facilitates flawless intonation. Highly responsive EMG(R) 808X active pickups offer a beefed-up low-end and a super-tight overall distortion sound that's both articulate and responsive.

Simply put: the RGIF7 represents the obvious, ultimate choice for guitarists ready to plumb new depths in metal and beyond.

Features:

- Ash body
- 5 Piece maple/bubinga neck
- Rosewood fretboard
- EMG 808X Pickups
