I bought this guitar as I my band wanted to do more fellsilent, after the burial kindof stuff. All i can say is taht it delivers 100%. It's a crazy bang for your buck deal. It sounds great for metal. I will say this, it is MEANT for metal, and nothing else. But if thats what you want, do it up.

I absolutely LOVE this guitar.
Cheap, Simple, and a Seven string that fits my
every need. I'm not a fan of floyd rose, and I'm happy Ibanez decided to hold off one on this. Changing strings is a BREEZE! I sounds sick and has great tones. I love mine, and I'm sure if your a fan of the seven string you'll like yours as well.

This was the first high quality guitar I bought for myself, weird since 7 strings are usually not everybody's first choice for a guitar. Anyway, this guitar makes it incredibly easy to jump to the extra string. Many people say a 7 is difficult to play, but it comes fairly easy with ibanez guitars. I love how easy it is to play. The strings just melt on the fretboard as you play. Anyone who buys this guitar should know it sounds godly with heavy drenched distortion. With any metal distortion pedal you can feed it through a practice amp and it'll sound like Meshuggah. Looks and feels evil, and yet is pretty light.
The main complaint I have with this guitar is almost no diversity. As is, it is a strictly metal guitar, very sharp and bassy pickup tones, and any other style of music is going to sound bad on this guitar. I tried the clean tone out and it sounds too muddy, I tried it with a bluesy tone and some wah and it sounded too sharp. As long as you're feeding it through distortion its going to sound great, however.
Also, another complaint I have is the b string on my 7 string buzzes, I've changed strings and everything and its still very noticeable on clean or lightly distorted tones. Lame...
Ibanez makes awesome and affordable guitars. This is no exception. However, if you play something other than metal, I would avoid this cause its about all you're going to get out of it.

I have used this 7-string before several times, and for the price, it is a very impressive buy. Straight-forward, no frills guitar, looks sharp in all black. The neck is thin and comfortable (as are all Ibanez necks), and it makes the adaptation from 6 string to 7 string no problem. The pickups, for being stock, are rather impressive - the neck pickup is rather clean and effective for sweeping, and the bridge is real crunchy when put on full humbucking mode. The 5 way switching on this guitar is also really nice for those who enjoy versatility (much like myself). My personal preference would be to see one with a double-locking tremolo on it, but you can't have everything you want all the time. All in all, it's very nice for the price - the only guitar that could likely compare would be the Schecter Damien-7 for the price, and even so it wouldn't be of Ibanez quality. (By the way, for those who may not believe it, yes, Chris Broderick DOES own RG7321 guitars AND does use them. They may not have the same pickups, but if he's using these along with his LACS 7 strings, they MUST be quite good!)
