Ibanez

An affordable, hard rocking 7-string.

The Ibanez RG7321 7-string electric guitar's pickups and pickup placement provide the hard-edged cutting tone needed for heavy rock.

Since 1987, many players have selected the Ibanez RG as their weapon of choice for visiting sonic mayhem on the metal masses. With the right choice of pickups and flat, fast necks, the RG crunched its way to classic status.

As heavy as it rocks, the RG7321 is made of basswood, a comparatively lightweight wood, which makes it very comfortable for extended playing. With a good balance of highs and lows, basswood is right in between alder and mahogany in sound character. 24 jumbo frets offer easy playing for leads and chording and the Fixed 7 string thru bridge provides great tone and sustain. Total tonal choice is provided 5-way switching of two Ibanez Axis 7 humbuckers with coil-splitting capabilities.

If you've always wondered what you could do with a 7-string guitar, now is the time to find out.

  • Basswood body

Features:

Great guitar, plays great, only problem are the pick ups, not the best, but im swapping the bridge pick up for a Dimarzio X2N-7 pick up. the intonation was off so i had a hard time keeping it in tune, but overall worth the buy!! \m/

great guitar

| Review By: justin scala | 3 months, 4 weeks ago

1 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

fantastic features. has everything i could ask for...

Quality:

guitar is quality thats usually un heard of for the price. neck kicks arse pickups sound killer people said they sound cheap but a guitar pickup is a hard thing to screw up. for extreme metal tone you need a metal sounding amp or pedals, which i have and the pickups sound very good (ive played every renowned "high crunch"duncan and dimarzio out there and like these just as well) the guitar performs beyond what i had expected

Value:

good value... hard to beat

Overall:

overall a great guitar that is worth buying. mine is all stock and I dont see a need to change anything. I dont use a 7 string to gig but i use it to sit down and guitar nerd out on the practice amp.  im picky and I love it. nothing like a RG

Love It !

| Review By: tyler blankenship | 7 months, 1 day ago

3 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

Low Price. Thin fast neck. Solid Construction. Great pickups.

Quality:

This Guitar has GREAT sound and output. I use mine for Deathcore music and its a perfect fit. I also play some alternative jams on it and the clean settings sound VERY smooth!  No fault with sound quality for the RG7321.

Value:

Plays like its worth a LOT more than what its priced at. If you wanna give a 7 string a try, this is a great deal for a good quality instrument without paying a ton of money, or paying for a cheap piece of garbage. The RG7321 is a GREAT BUY!

Overall:

Overall, this guitar is a great instrument. I love it. I'm a huge fan of 7 strings, and this guitar is a very great looking and sounding guitar. a MUST BUY for a first 7 string. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Solid 7

| Review By: David-e0R1J | 9 months, 3 weeks ago

4 people out of 5 found this review helpful

Features:

Some pretty good locking tuners, plastic nut, rosewood fretboard, stainless steel frets, very thin but a tad bit wide neck, dot inlays, 5 piece neck, bolt on neck, cheap Ibanez pickups, solid bridge, gloss black finish. Good features for a low budget 7 string.

Quality:

The guitar is what you'd expect for a this price of 7 string, cheap low quality pickups, decent bridge, decent tuners, and solid finish. Solidly put together, overall, an okay guitar at stock. Good quality for 400 dollars. I was midly impressed with this guitar.

Value:

The price for a decent 7 is pretty high, but at the same time, for one of the cheapest 7s on the market you can't go wrong. If it had a little better pickups in it, it would be a much better investment. Decent value, although is does have significantly less resale value from what I've seen.

Overall:

I got this about 3 months ago and I haven't put it down. It's an all around great guitar, but it needs upgrades for it to be anything special.

 

When I got it the action was set up great, the neck was straight. Everything good you'd expect out of the box.

 

The finish is about as basic as they come, black. Good color, but I wish they made some different colors. It does show a lot of small surface scratches and you'll be able to notice a chip a mile away. The paint does seem thick enough to withstand a pretty careless player. I'd give the finish a 9/10

 

The neck, it is a bit wide, it feels a little wider than it should be. It's a 5 piece neck with skunk stripes, It's thin and easy to grab. This neck is much thinner than most guitars, so beware if you dislike thin necks. It feels like a satin finish neck, either a thin finish or no finish at all, which  I'm not too big a fan of. Rosewood fretboard is just like any other, nothing too special, although the specific types of Rosewood Ibanez uses dries out pretty quickly, I'd suggest getting some fretboard oil. Overall though, the neck is just a little too wide for my liking, thin and fast, and everything you'd want for a shredder type 7. Again, a 9/10

 

The pickups are a bit muddy in the low end, the highs are surprisingly bright and the mids are there, but lacking severely, poorly EQ'd from Ibanezs perspective. I play a wide variety of music from church music to the most extreme underground industrial, and then Djent. These pickups, for my tastes, can't do that too well, so I through a Seymour duncan SH-8 and Liquifire in and it made a HUGE difference in tone. The stock pickups lacked in upper mids, and mids generally. The Seymour duncan and Dimarzios can scream like a banshee and cool down enough to soothe the old peoples ears in my church. My suggestion? Replace the pickups unless your amp is suited to muddier pickups. For this price, you can't beat it. You can have a guitar you'll take with you till your grave. I'd give these a 5.5/10

 

Wood quality, Some people dislike basswood, it doesn't go to well in this guitar IMO, it makes the bottom end too muddy in conjunction with the pickups, if you swap the pickups out, you'll be happy with your choice. The wood quality is nice and dense. You could throw this down a flight of stairs and have to worry about the stairs instead of your guitar. I give the wood an 8/10

 

The nut and bridge are very, very mediocre. The nut is made out of plastic, which virtually kills all the sustain you can get. Many places sell brass or bone nuts slotted much better. This nut was slotted poorly and caused many string slips, or the string could hardly fix through the nut. The bridge is made out of steel, I think, and is a little higher quality than most of the competitors bridges, and the older style bridge that came on these guitars. It's a Gibralter branded Ibanez bridge, which isn't bad. I'd say that the bridge is something I'd like to change somewhere down the road, not something that would need to be changed right away. I'd give the nut a 6/10 and the bridge a 9/10.

 

The tuners are of decent quality, Ibanez locking tuners, which probably are a 8:1 or so ratio (and if you're not a gear head this is decent) which does it's job, tunes the guitar, but a lot of the times it will take half a turn to hear a slight difference, or you touch it and it falls into drop Q. The locking mechanism works pretty well and you don't have to worry about the guitar strings slipping back through the tuner when you put a new set on. They were a little difficult to figure out at first, and I think a few of mine were installed wrong because 3 of the 7 turn a different way, but I can't gripe, they tune pretty well. Most likely the last thing I'd replace on this guitar. I'd give the tuners a 9/10.

Overall:

This is my 6th Ibanez and right now I think its one of the best I've owned.     This guitar screams metal plus with an adjustment of string tuning and a capo you can play almost any tuning metal bands are playing with these days. What surprised me the most was the pickups. Most stock pickups are just that, stock, but these sounds pretty good. I've only had it for about 3 hours now and been playing it for 3 hours and I had to write a review to share how awesome I feel this guitar is. There are only 2 things I would like to change. 1) The nut. It comes with a black plastic nut which doesn't affect playing at all but looks cheap so eventually it will be replaced with something better. 2) The pickups. Even though these pickups sound good I'm more of a Dimarizo or EMG guy so when the money is available they will be swapped out. As for the rest of the guitar its really awesome. The neck is super fast and comfortable to play and the action is perfect. I'd recommend this guitar to beginners and advanced players. It offers a lot and is capable of several types of music. Stock it is built for metal but with a few changes it would easily work for almost any genre. Buying guitars is like buying shoes, you just got to try them on and for me this was a great buy.
