A high-performance 7-string guitar for the modern metal musician.
The Ibanez RGA217P1PB Premium 7-string electric guitar is a precision-crafted axe built to meet the rigorous demands of ultraheavy musical styles. Designed specifically for down-tuned, high-gain applications, this 7-string beast combines aggressive styling with effortless playability. It features a contoured poplar burl top for unrestricted picking-hand movement, an ultrathin Wizard-7 neck for rapid playability and a Gibraltar Standard III bridge for rock-solid tuning stability. Its American basswood body delivers a balanced tonal foundation, while DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbuckers ensure crushing lows, tight mids and searing highs. Whether you're chugging out punishing breakdowns or tearing through technical solos, the RGA217P1PB is engineered to keep up with every nuance of your playing. With high-performance hardware and cutting-edge electronics, this is a true weapon for modern metal guitarists.
Unleash Your Heaviest, Most Demanding Riffs
The Ibanez RGA series has long been the choice for guitarists pushing the boundaries of heavy music, and the RGA217P1PB is no exception. Its sculpted poplar burl top isn't just visually striking—it's designed for pure performance. By eliminating sharp edges and allowing for smooth, unrestricted movement, the contoured top ensures you can attack the strings with intensity, whether you're galloping through thrash rhythms or executing lightning-fast alternate picking. The American basswood body provides a balanced tonal foundation, ensuring clarity and articulation even in the lowest tunings.
High-Speed Performance With the Wizard-7 Neck
Speed and control are paramount when navigating the extended range of a seven-string, and the Ibanez RGA217P1PB delivers with its ultrathin Wizard-7 five-piece maple and walnut neck. This super sleek neck profile allows for fluid legato runs and precise chording without fatigue. The ebony fretboard enhances articulation, while jumbo stainless-steel frets ensure effortless bending and clarity on every note. Thanks to Ibanez's Premium fret edge treatment, playability remains smooth and comfortable, even during the most intense performances.
DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups: Power With Precision
Developed in collaboration with DiMarzio, the RGA217P1PB's Fusion Edge humbuckers provide the perfect balance of aggression and definition. The low end remains tight and controlled, the mids cut through with precision and the highs sing with a crisp, articulate attack. While these high-output humbuckers are designed to deliver crushing metal tones without any midrange muddiness, the RGA217P1PB's advanced pickup configuration allows for impressive flexibility across a wide range of playing styles. The dyna-MIX10 switching system, coupled with the Alter Switch, unlocks a versatile range of tones—from searing high-gain leads to crystal-clear clean interludes—allowing you to adapt seamlessly to any genre.
Gibraltar Standard III Bridge for Maximum Stability
Designed to handle extreme playing styles, the Gibraltar Standard III bridge provides a rock-solid foundation that enhances both sustain and resonance. Its low-profile design ensures optimal comfort for aggressive picking, while its robust construction keeps intonation locked in place, even under the heaviest playing conditions. Whether you're executing rapid-fire palm-muted riffs or allowing complex chord voicings to ring out with clarity, this bridge maintains consistency and precision. Paired with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, your strings stay in tune through intense bends and extended sessions. Additionally, luminescent side dots ensure easy fretboard navigation, keeping you in control even under dim stage lighting.
A High-Performance Weapon for the Modern Metal Guitarist
The RGA217P1PB is built for players who demand ultraheavy tones and effortless playability in a 7-string format. Its meticulous design, powerful DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups and impressively stable Gibraltar Standard III bridge make it the perfect weapon for modern metal and down-tuned aggression. From high-speed riffing to massive low-end chugging, this guitar responds with razor-sharp clarity and sustain. Get ready to elevate your performance and push the boundaries of heavy music with the Ibanez RGA217P1PB Premium 7-string electric guitar.
