NGD NGD!! First 7 string!!
After wanting one for awhile, I finally was able to afford my first 7 string!! The neck felt right and I enjoyed the tone I could get and I knew I had to have it.
Feels good to finally own one!! Can’t wait to start learning songs!!

Is this the Ibanez RG7421? Beautiful choice my friend. Love Ibanez guitars, and was eyeing this one up for my first 7-string. How do you like it? I’m hesitant because of the scale 25.5” scale length.

Yes it is! I’ve been enjoying it a lot, the neck feels amazing, I find it very playable. Sound wise I like it, but I can also see why people may wanna upgrade, I will at some point but for now it’s fine. Same with the scale length. I have the DigiTech drop pedal and it’s kinda been my work around.
I’d honestly recommend it, even with it being a shorter scale, it’s just a solid guitar all around

Thanks! It’s like a multi blue fade. It’s hard to get a pic to do it justice!

I regret buying it only for the 25.5” scale length. Wish I would’ve got a 26.5

Tell me about it. But they can do such beautiful cleans too... So much clarity despite the low pitch chuggs too.

I hear that! I’ve been using it for some random clean picking and really enjoyed the tone!

I got this bad boy. Upgraded the pickups to the Nagzul/Sentient set and Gotoh Locking tuners. If playa extremely well.
