A High-performance 7-string RG

Craving some high-performance 7-string axe action? If that's the case, strap on the Ibanez RG7420EX and brace yourself — you're in for a wild ride. This modern-styled RG is constructed around a resonant meranti body, which produces a rock-solid tonal base to build from. A duet of red-hot Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups stands ready to pummel the front end of whatever you plug this solidbody electric guitar into. Purpose built for high-speed, low-drag playing, the RG7420EX's comfortable maple 3-piece Wizard II-7 neck and fast-playing jatoba fingerboard offer the perfect platform for your wildest fretboard pyrotechnics. Want to mangle and dive? No problem. The RG420EX's Edge-Zero II-7 tremolo is willing to accommodate you. Ibanez machine heads and an attractive — and aggressive — satin finish round out this RG's killer features. No matter what you have in mind, the RG7420EX is primed and ready for your next 7-string excursion.

Wizard II-7 neck offers super-fast playability

The Wizard II-7 neck is one of Ibanez's fastest and slickest necks to date, and it's the first choice of many guitarists here at Sweetwater. This neck's satin finish ensures it won't get sticky or hard to play during long sessions, and its slim carve enables you to pull off intense lead lines with ease, but still gives you enough substance to comfortably fret chords. From the first time you hold this neck in your hand, you'll know that this guitar was built with performance in mind.

Massive tonal range from Quantum humbuckers

With two Quantum humbucking pickups and 5-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like on the Ibanez RG7420EX. Quantum humbuckers offer plenty of punch and output to drive your favorite amplifiers or distortion stompboxes. But their clear top end and full lows allow them to sound fantastic throughout a wide variety of additional styles. Although the Ibanez RG will forever be known as a rock guitar, the RG7420EX's fast playability, extreme comfort, and tonal variety make it a great guitar for a whole lot more.

Edge-Zero II-7 tremolo delivers solid performance and stability

The RG7420EX's Edge-Zero II-7 tremolo gives you the fast response and snap you need to pull off sharp bends and vibrato. The extreme stability of this knife-edge-style trem's stud lock function is also one of the many reasons it's a favorite among many of today's top players. If you're looking for a guitar that can stand up to long, aggressive playing sessions without losing its tuning, then you're going to love the RG7420EX.

  • Powerful 7-string electric guitar for a great value
