Ibanez - RGR762AHBF Weathered Black Prestige

This 7-string RG Prestige takes a well-balanced approach to extended playing, focusing on precision, stability and legibility throughout the tessitura. The five-piece Wizard neck in maple and wenge has a slim profile that's slightly more consistent than on some 6-string RGs, offering excellent grip without sacrificing speed. The 430 mm radius makes for fluid playing, whether you're playing hard riffs or more technical lines in the lower registers.

The ash body provides a clean attack and good definition, particularly appreciable on the seventh string, which retains clarity and articulation even under high saturation. The rosewood fingerboard softens the overall impression, balancing the spectrum with a strong midrange and an even balance between bass and treble. The DiMarzio PAF 7 pickups, mounted in the neck and bridge, have an open, dynamic grain, capable of delivering full, clear tones and precise saturation without excessive compression.

The Gibraltar Standard III-7 bridge provides excellent vibration transfer and reliable stability, even with larger drawbars. The Gotoh MG-T self-locking tuning machines make string changes easy and tuning secure, an essential feature for guitarists working with variable tensions. Like all Japanese Prestige guitars, this RGR762AHBF benefits from special attention to the frets, with edge treatment that greatly enhances playing comfort. Supplied with a hard case, it's a serious, durable tool for musicians looking for a versatile, controlled 7-string.
