Ibanez RGD Iron Label Series RGDIX7MPB 7-String Electric Guitar, 24 Frets, Nitro Wizard-7 3-piece Maple/Bubinga Neck, Passive Pickup, Birdseye Maple Fretboard, Gibraltar Standard II-7 Bridge, Surreal Blue Burst

The RGD is Ibanez's ultimate metal machine. The demands of down-tuning require a specifically designed responsiveness not found in "normal" guitars. To optimize for the rich, desirable thickness of tone that down-tuning produces, they extended the neck by one inch to a 26.5" scale. Longer-than standard yet not overly long. The neck is still considered a "fast" neck for speed soloing. Extra-deep cutaways grant comfortable access to the necks highest notes.
