Product Description

For years the Ibanez RG has been the choice for the shred guitarist who needed a workhorse that would just work every night. Its simple design and stellar performance made it an instant hit that is still popular today. Now the RGA is coming to join in with the same incredible performance but a more elegant design including an arched flame Maple top and a sleek all black finish.

Great Feeling

While a lot of Ibanez guitars use Basswood or Ash for the body to really bring out the high end pop and fast attack you want for modern metal the RGAIX7GM instead uses Mahogany. The reason? It makes it a much more versatile tone machine that can work for a wider range of styles and gives it the punchy low end required for metal rhythms.

The neck has been carved to Ibanez's popular Nitro Wizard style that brings out the best in your playing. Nothing is getting in the way of you becoming a complete shred demon on this guitar as the flatter back and rounded neck heel stay out of the way lettings your hands have complete freedom.

DiMarzio Fusion Pickups

DiMarzio and Ibanez go back a long way. Back when Ibanez made the first production 7 string with the Universe model years ago DiMarzio were one of the first companies to properly embrace extended range guitar and the prog metal that would form from it.

So when they come together to form a pickup you know it is going to be versatile and powerful. Exactly what the Fusion is to be honest. Chuck this guitar on a clean channel and everything is as clear as can be with excellent sustain. Move over to a higher gain sound and you unleash the fast attack and bright high end that is needed for modern metal styles. Best of all you can even coil tap them for an even wider range of tones.

Here's what Ibanez say about the RGAIX6FM

In 2016, Ibanez is proud to reintroduce RGA models, as a part of the Iron Label series.

The new RGAIX7FM-TGF features brand new DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups that were the result of a direct collaboration between DiMarzio and Ibanez.  They provide ultra clarity and a very smooth response, satisfying the current demands of players in today's progressive metal scene.  Also featured is a coil tap switch, which helps expand on the guitar's tonal range by providing split-coil options.

The Flamed Maple top, Nitro Wizard 3pc Maple/Bubinga neck and Ebony fretboard all add up to give the guitar a tight low-end and quick response that is preferred in metal.  Other features include a Gibraltar Standard II bridge as well as locking tuners.  The new RGA 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.

Exactly what I was looking for: a good-quality 7-string to start experimenting with extended range guitar. Looks fantastic, plays smoothly, and has a versatile range of tones.

Mr Douglas Carneiro1st Feb 2019

This guitar is amazing. A nice 7 string guitar to start messing around. The built up quality is outstanding. The pickups are great, fret width is not too large, locking tuners for great stability. And the ibanez guitars offer a flat back side of the fretboard, which May take more time to get used to. No tone knob, but nothing that I miss

This guitar is absolutely stunning to look at and even better to play! I will keep this guitar for as long as I live. It is flawless. The fusion pickups are so clean, they pick up every nuance but reject all unwanted feedback; when you mute the strings, they mute instantly. Extremely heavy gains and super crisp cleans, especially with the single coil/humbucker options. The neck fits perfectly in my hand and provides me with fast, precise and easy playability. Although a friend told me his thumb was hurting after he played it, so I guess it isn't for everyone. It keeps in tune and I play quite ferociously for metal rhythm and lead. I even play funk and jazz styles and it has no problems at all. I've been playing this guitar now for about 3 weeks and I swear it's the best guitar that I currently own.
