Feature:
Very nice features. Tuners and dials work great. The humbuckers are very nice.

Quality:
It is made very well and it is very good at looks and sound.

Value:
It is definately worth the price. If you buy this guitar, you are getting a major deal.

Sound:
It has a really great sound to it. I'm in a band and we play anywhere from classic rock to heavy metal. The added B string is great for playing hard rock or metal.

Support:
Have had needed no work on the Ibanez ax7221 7-stringed guitar.

Overall:
If you don't have this guitar and you want to be able to play and kind of song, I would get this guitar.

Feature:
Features are all right. I wish it had a tremolo though. If it had a tremolo bar, it would be so awesome. Since then, my guitar is incomplete.

Quality:
The one thing that is killing me is the action. Ever since I bought the guitar, I can't get the action in the right place. I play with super heavy strings and drop to a G#, but still, I should be able to get the action right. If I play too hard, my strings buzz somewhat, and at times I loose my inspiration and will to play. Sometimes it is really hard to play, and again, it comes down to the fact that the action is messed up. That is why most of the time I play with my 6 string guitar instead.

Value:
Hey, unlike these guys who got this guitar for like $350 plus, I got it for $250 after tax. The only thing, I had to place an order for it and wait about 2 weeks for delivery. But hey, it was worth the wait if it saved me about 100 dollars, right?

Desirability:
Oh, it has great looks. If it was a girl, I would make love to her in my car.

Sound:
The sound is very clean when I play without effects. When I add effects, they sound very clear. I can't complain about the pick ups at all. Great Natural Sound.

Ease of Use:
It's pretty easy for me to get the sound I want out of this guitar. I just turn all the knobs to 10, move the switch to treble, and I am ready to go.

Support:
To be honest, I haven't really tried to deal with these guys. However, I did not see a number I could call, so even if I wanted to approach the phone, I could not be able to get a hold of them.

Overall:
To be honest, I love everything about this guitar, except the action. That is the main reason why I hardly ever play with this guitar. Once I take it to the shop so they can fix the action, there will be nothing left to dislike bout this guitar, and I will play everyday with it.

Since my last review I have purchased this guitar and I still hold my opinion. It is better than any other seven I have played and its sound and resonence are second to none. Admittedly, the more serious player should invest in a higher quality pickup to enrich the sound further as the standard Ibanez pickup has a slight buzz, especially on the low B.
One cause for concern is that this guitar, like all sevens is a great deal harder to learn than a standard 6-string but the extra positions and scale-range offered are well worth it!

Feature:
DROP-D TUNERS, GOOD PICKUPS (DUNCAN) - IT WOULD BE NICE WITH TREMOLO, BUT PERHAPS THAT IS NOT HELPFUL FOR THIS STYLE OF GUITAR. PERHAPS IT WASN'T DESIGNED FOR TREMOLO.

Quality:
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE JACK PLUGHOLE - IT LOOSENS AND NEEDS TIGHTENING FROM TIME TO TIME - A PAIN IN THE... ALL THE OTHER PARTS ARE PERFECT PLUS ONE!!!

Desirability:
LOOKS ARE GOOD, BUT THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY APPEALING TO THE GUITARIST.

Sound:
THE GRIT OF A GIBSON AND THE HOLLOW AND LIGHTNESS OF A FENDER IN ONE GUITAR!!!!

Overall:
I HAVE HAD MINE FOR 5 YEARS - NO PROBLEMS THE BEST GUITAR I EVER HAD!!!

The neck although thicker than a 6 string, is still easily playable. More so than most 7 string rip offs. Ibanez is by far the 1st and best!!!!I love mine, you'll love yours!

Feature:
If you buy this guitar get a new bridge pickup.The action is pretty decent.

Quality:
The hardware will rust on you after a while if you don't take good care of it.

Value:
Could possibly lower the price a little.

Desirability:
Good for a first 7-string.

Sound:
Not really good for my type of music. It has a nice clean tone on the neck pick-up.

Support:
I never dealt with the company.

Overall:
I still have it but have replaced it with better guitars.

The Ibanez AZ7221 has a striking appearance and the best sound quality I have found alot better than my Washburn. It stays in tune for a very long time. It is just an excellent guitar!

When I bought the Ax I was really surprised how great it is.But now you see the negative things about it,the screws come loose very quick and I had to replace the Inputjack!!!
But in all it has a great distortion sound on my mesa,and the clean sound is great too!!!

Feature:
Great sound, great pick ups. It stays in tune evertime! I would prefer a tremolo version.

Quality:
Let me just say: IBANEZ!

Value:
This instrument is worth each dollar.

Desirability:
On a scale from 1 - 10(best): 15!

Sound:
Its the best 7 String Guitar under 1500 Dollars. Never played a better one. Just Ibanez!

Support:
Great support. I can't say anything bad!

Overall:
A Ibanez is a ibanez is a ibanez is a ibanez is a ibanez . . . . .

This little beaut has stunning looks, unbeatable sound quality and what's more, it's great value for money. All this for less than $500; it's hard to argue against it...
