What do you get when you pair a 7-string with extended 26.5" scale? The Ibanez RGDIR7M's beefy growl is articulated through its DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Birdseye maple fretboard Beautiful grain; delivers clear and bright tone
Nitro Wizard-7 neck Fast playing and maximum comfort
DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups Cutting high end; tight, compressed bottom end
Gibraltar Standard II-7 bridge Lasting sustain; precise tuning and intonation

The Ibanez RGDIR7M features a beveled mahogany body and a stunning Birdseye Maple fretboard. The fretboard also features luminescent side-dot inlays to provide a clear point of reference when playing at darker venues. The DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups, which were the result of a direct collaboration between DiMarzio and Ibanez, provide great clarity and a very smooth response, satisfying the current demands of players in today's progressive metal scene. The 26.5" scale length of the RGD line enables rich, thick tone when down-tuning, but still remains extremely playable for highly technical riffs and runs. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the neck's highest notes. With the combination of the Gibraltar Standard II bridge and Gotoh locking tuners, the RGD Iron Label is a perfect choice for the metal player looking for a more modern guitar that features the ultimate in both sound and playability.

With the growing popularity of the Iron Label series, Ibanez continues to tap the seismic underworld for inspiration. Working their famous RGD body shape from the "chassis" up, the RGDIR7M is a stunning creation of unique beauty that adds a new dimension to the brand’s no-frills "made-for-metal" lineup.

Ibanez builds guitars for all levels of players—from beginners to the most demanding masters of the instrument. Regardless of price, Ibanez always strives to offer the absolute best sound, style, and playability in its class.

I got this guitar after having a bad experience with an Epiphone Les Paul 60s Tribute. Not in anyway zZounds' fault. They were more than accommodating with helping me return it and issuing my refund. I play in B standard/Drop A most of the time anyway so a 7 string made a lot of sense for my purposes. Like the other review, the only thing I had to do to make this guitar perfect was adjust the action a bit lower and also slightly lower the pickups. The locking tuners are excellent and work exactly as they should. The intonation is set perfectly. No blemishes or imperfections in the wood. The frets are dead on. No buzzing at all. I actually love the pickups as well. They're not super high output. I would say they're medium which is perfect for me. I use fuzz pedals for most of my sound and it works out great. The neck is wide but thin and you get access to all the frets effortlessly. I would no doubt buy this guitar again.
