Ibanez RGD Axion Label RGD71ALPA 7-String Electric Guitar, Macassar Ebony Fretboard, Charcoal Black Flat

When you're seeking the ultimate instrument for metal music, look no further than the RGD Axion Label RGD71ALPA 7-String Electric Guitar by Ibanez. This stylish and elegant guitar is specifically designed for the unique demands of down-tuning, offering a rich, thick tone that is unmatched by standard guitars.

The RGD Axion Label RGD71ALPA features a longer-than-standard 26.5" scale neck, extending by an inch to optimize for down-tuning. Despite its length, the neck remains a "fast" neck, ideal for speed soloing. The extra-deep cutaways provide comfortable access to the highest notes on the neck, making it a reliable choice for any musician.

This high-quality guitar is part of the Axion Label series, which pushes the boundaries of modern electric guitar design. It incorporates cutting-edge elements such as multi-scale design, ultra-modern pickups from Fishman, Bare Knuckle, and DiMarzio, and hardware innovations like the Evertune bridge.

The RGD Axion Label RGD71ALPA boasts a Nitro Wizard 5-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck, which significantly increases sustain. The Macassar Ebony fretboard produces tight lows and mid-range tones, along with a strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain.

The guitar's jumbo Sub Zero treated frets are durable enough to withstand the hardest riffing and string-bending. The Poplar Burl top, combined with a layered Ash & Nyatoh body, delivers a well-balanced tone from the bottom low-end to the top, and impresses with an exotic wood grain.

The Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups, hand-wound in the UK, deliver accelerated bass response for tracking high-speed staccato riffing, with increased focus in the mid and superb high-end articulation. The Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads provide incredible tuning stability, reducing string-changing time.

The innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge is designed for both stability and sustain, minimizing cross-talk between strings. The coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups. The indestructible Schaller S-Locks strap lock pins ensure your guitar won't fail, even under the toughest conditions on stage.

With its extra-long 26.5" scale and ability to accurately intonate heavier string gauges, the RGD Axion Label RGD71ALPA 7-String Electric Guitar is the perfect beast for down-tuned metal. Its charcoal black finish and macassar ebony fretboard make it not only a powerful instrument but also a stylish addition to any musician's collection.
