Genuine RG 7-string at a Great Value

The Ibanez RG7421 is purpose-built for high-speed, low-drag playing. It all starts with the sleek, comfortable, and aggressive-looking RG body style. The RG7421 gives you an amazingly fast maple Wizard II-7 neck and a resonant, well-balanced meranti body. You'll love how this guitar feels as soon as you pick it up. And you'll turn up the heat with this guitar's outstanding duet of hot Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups. Get your hands on the magnificent Ibanez RG7421 today.

Classic RG performance

The Ibanez RG series of guitars has remained a standard in rock music for the last couple of decades, thanks in large part to the effortless playability of Ibanez's Wizard neck profile. The Wizard II-7's slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lighting-fast runs and arpeggios with ease while retaining the substance you need for fretting chords. The guitar's sleek lines and fast neck are also incredibly ergonomic, ensuring your performances remain strain free.

Fixed Bridge 7 for absolute tuning stability

The RG7421 sports Ibanez's Fixed Bridge 7, which means no more tuning hassles due to a floating vibrato tailpiece. Your lowered tunings will be more stable and the string tension will feel looser. When you change tunings at the gig, you'll be ready to rock — without messing with the vibrato or loosening locking nuts.

Massive tonal range

With two Ibanez-designed Quantum humbucking pickups plus 5-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like. In humbucker mode, the low end on this guitar will surprise you, while the top end is musical. Switch to single-coil voicings, and you'll attain bell-like cleans with ease. Although it will forever be known as a rock guitar, the RG7421's fast playability and tonal variety make it a great guitar for almost any style.

  • Powerful 7-string electric guitar for a great value
  • Resonant meranti RG body
  • Fast-playing maple Wizard II-7 neck

Rated 5/5

Awesome Axe

This is my first 7-strings guitar. Right out of the box, it was perfect. Action was little high for me and I lowered the saddles and intonation was still almost perfect. Guitar is light weight than my expectation and then I found out that the body is made out of Meranti (not Mahogany). Maybe the low price is due to that. Regardless, Meranti is a great wood as well for guitar body. Pickups will need little getting used to but not bad at all. After getting used to playing 7, will move to 8 or 9 strings. Overall a great guitar at a low price and Sweet water does a great job packing and 55 points of inspection before shipping. Thanks go to Chris Goldbach for always being there.
