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.

Ibanez RG7421 7-string Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Powerful 7-string electric guitar for a great value
  • Resonant meranti RG body topped with stunning poplar burl
  • Fast-playing maple Wizard II-7 neck
  • Jatoba fingerboard with jumbo frets and pearl dot inlays
  • Fixed Bridge 7 for absolute tuning stability

Incredible Customer Service!

It was a bit of a journey getting this guitar, but it was made so much easier thanks to Ryan McKowen. He was there every step of the way with updates and advice, even when the guitar was stolen from my porch! Most other companies might say "sorry, it's your own fault" but not Sweetwater. After filing some cases, they sent me a replacement within a week! Thanks so much to Ryan, my boyfriend loves his new guitar!!

As for the guitar, it's incredible. The colors are beautiful, the sound is incredible. It was a gift for my boyfriend and he can't stop showing it off and has put in at least 17 hours of playing it. I can't wait to hear the songs he comes up with on this beauty.

Great for the price.

I have three 7 strings and this one is a go to for low tunings. It's perfectly fine for a first 7 string and will do you justice. I did mod mine a bit. I swapped the pickups for the Seymour Duncan alpha/omega set and wow...it Really turned this thing into a beast of a guitar. I also had it plekd and set up with 11's. Might throw locking tuners in it this year. This thing is a beast. The feel is great and out of all 10 of my guitars, everyone who sees them always says this is their favorite. It's Really eye catching

Great guitar

I got this guitar wanting to get back into playing after a multi year hiatus and I couldn't have picked a better one. It looks awesome and feels better. I can actually play this better than my main guitar which is an old epi LP custom from the late 90s and that alone has made me feel like actually playing again. First Ibanez and the wizard neck is so good that I'm now looking for a higher end 6 string to replace my main guitar. Only downside really is the pickups aren't anything that will blow you away but that's to be expected at this price range.

Excellent first 7 string

I've been playing a 6 string iron label for the past few years and finally decided to try out a 7 string since most of the bands I listen to use them. For the price I am extremely impressed. The quality was excellent, the pick ups are slightly muddy but can't complain for the price tag. The PB top is great quality and the neck is fast. If you're looking for a 7 string ... I'd highly recommend.

Amazing Sound and Feel

Got this for Christmas; plays great, fretwork is great, smooth as butter and sounds amazing with that signature Ibanez growl. Everything you could ask for at a modest price. If you're thinking about testing out a 7 string, you will not be disappointed. This is my first 7 and it felt very welcoming to play and get used to. Thanks Sweetwater team!
