All user reviews for the Ibanez RG7321

I had been playing Deathcore and dropped tuning hardcore with my band Storm the Shoreline on a 6 string Schecter c1+. Eventually The Ibanez RG 7321 Made its way to me. It is a fantastic 24 fret RG for shredders on a budget. The INF IBZ pickups could be better but they scream for the price. Its a typical black ibanez with a bound rosewood fretboard...not much to look at. I'm not a fan of inlays period so the dot inlays aren't all that appealing to me personally but the tone makes up for the appearance. Its string through basswood body sustains for days and has an incredible low end. Especially for a meager $399.00. It came with D'dario mediums on it and in my opinion, these are the best companion for the 7321. THE BEST 7 string on a budget. I would like to see these available with a tremolo.

I was given this guitar by Bill Vigil from Madison Amps and in Your Face entertainment. He was displeased that I tuned my six string so low isntead of investing in a 7 string so he made me take his.

I love the tone, sustain, and versitility of the 7321. It is a solid instrument from ibanez with a very appealing price tag. It plays very well, but might need some adjustment to suit your playing style when you get it, but factory setup was satisfactory overall. The pickups are fantastic and finger dancing sweeps are a breeze on the prestige neck. The low end of this guitar is vicious! So if you are into breakdowns, get your hands on one of these bad boys.

This guitar has no serious flaws. Personally I'd like to see it in more finishes but black suits most people.

This guitar is built like a tank. Just invest in new strap locks when you get it. Mine fell facedown onto concrete at a practice. It was a bit out of tune but aside from that, survived without injury. A real quality instrument. It has a very tight and 'together' feel to it. It's very easy to adjust as well. Its a simple and reliable instrument.

Case in point, this is a fantastic instrument especially for the price. If mine breaks, I'll have it replaced within the week. You won't find a better 7 string within the 7321's price range. So what are you waiting for? Get one of these mamajammas

UTILIZATION

The RG7321 is designed to be an affordable alternative to the higher-end 7 string guitars out there. This axe was created to ensure that anyone could get into playing an extended range guitar, and the results are promising. Due to the price, one could expect that there are no fancy frills, but there are some nice touches - the rosewood fingerboard is bound, for instance, and the neck is a 5 piece design of maple and walnut. Much of the guitar's sustain capabilities are due to the Gibraltar Standard 7 bridge, which is a substantial bridge design, and it has no sharp edges or corners, making palm muting very comfortable.

SOUNDS

This guitar sounds nice for the price! The pickups are a touch on the muddy side, but they still offer some good warmth and power. With that low B string, the guitar rumbles the whole stage! This obviously is designed with hard rock and metal in mind, and it does that very well.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a good entry-level 7. If budget is a big consideration when choosing a 7-string guitar, this is a great idea. It is just inexpensive enough to be in reach for most, and yet a good enough quality to offer a real playing experience. I wouldn't try to get any 7-string that is cheaper than this one, as the lowest end 7s have awful fretwork for most of the companies out there.

Guitar made in korea
24 basic box configuration with 2 humbucker pickups selector has five positions
fixed bridge
a volume knob and one for the sound
I would stick fairly flat, although very large because it is a 7-string.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice
acute for easy access
the guitar is quite big enough square heavy finish it right
for his impeccable bass although it frieze a bit but I think it's the fact that I've had yesterday and the strings are not great. even if it sounds in the acute correctly

SOUNDS

I bought it to play out of tune it is made to the heads of ways
with this guitar you can play tt neo-metal and another piece given in D or (slipknot and other) or that gives them korn K7 in LA
I play with a marshall dfx30W and a boss me-50's sounds correctly parcontre played on the strings used by your amp distortion risk of too much love
but hey it's still respectable.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days.
painting class is very good but we see them being brilliant trasse finger is a bit heavy but hey it's a detail.
otherwise the drawing is rather quite simple what is happening everywhere I would gladly make a personal painting one day.
correct quality / price € 512 buy is good I think.

This is a guitar frabrique in Japan as much guitar in Ibanez I think even the totality finally I will not venture into the top.

Pickups: 2Double with a 5-way switch

The handle is trs enjoyable play that is an ibanez neck is thin enough so sympatik when you know that when the handle is even more normal and more There's a rope.

UTILIZATION

CHAC is very easy to acute if you fancy doing solos are no problem. No problem when weight is light enough good adpend what you compare a Lag Trashmaster I never seen anything so lightweight

For his bp is the amp as normal amps will struggle agr the 7th I have a rope Custom equalizer so I leave a nice sound trs.

SOUNDS

I am looking for a heavy sound and I have not even the dsaccord. I use a Fender FM 212R amp MXR Dime Distortion and a g a Korg AX100G

The sound is frankly trs good for the price it costs (about 520 Euros)

OVERALL OPINION

I recommend this skyscraper has anyone seeking a 7-string with a good value trs qualitprix

It is made in Korea, 24 jumbo frets, fixed bridge, tone volume, with 2 humbuckers for 7-string (selector 3 positions) and finally a round tree trunk wide but very thin in depth must be used.

UTILIZATION

I'll keep it simple I feel like I play a six string.
Access to Acute easy is it? = Done for
Ergonomics = if you like the shape strato are for ben comfort it is the same.
Sounds good = good amplification

SOUNDS

The sound is good, just need to be equipped properly ie to have an amp worthy of the name.
I had a Valvestate 8080 (very good to start with) a catastrophe definition was really rotten.
And now my head ENGL fireball, I must say that it sounds as good as its clear when well saturated fat.
In his clear, the B string lacks a little definition but it is audible.
I even had fun doing reggae or funk

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two years since I have the sound and feel are all correct.
It is faced with a versatile 7-string just waiting to be exploited.
However a large black dot finish .....
This is the first Ibanez I bought (the last also) I stay blazed by painting the bar of the bridge and yes after 2 years.
I may be sweating acid but certainly there even when I have doubts about the quality and care of manufacturing, candle-end economies to gain a little more dough.
Race Results I will disassemble the set and do painting, aesthetics n''est not essential but still ......

Guitar made in Indonesia. Basswood body.
24 frets
AH7 microphones, 5-way switch (neck pickup in series, two microphones simple mileux two doubles, two humbuckers together, bridge pickups in parallel, bridge pickup in series)
Classqiues settings: 1 volume 1 tone.
Manche Wizard II-7.

UTILIZATION

The neck is very very nice. A real motorway! It is very important for a 7-string.
Access to acute no problem thanks to the pan cut.
This guitar (which is quite surprising for a 7-string) is relatively light. No problem then for the stage.
Good sound is easy to obtain quickly.

SOUNDS

The 7-string, as we suspect, is specific to the gos and metal.
I use a line 6 pod amp and a roland cube 30, it goes for big saturaion.

In clear, in his extremely saturated that the guitar has good sound. For cons, the rock sound (crunch, light saturation) is not terrible. It is therefore interesting to change the pickups of this guitar especially since thanks to the 5-way switch, it allows for versatility.

I do so that the metal top, the sound is OK but no more. The pickups lack of punch.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month. I love his sleeve. This is really good 7-string, very nice. It will certainly be great and perfect once the pickups changed.
I tried before buying a schecter damien 7, but the handle was just too big.
The value for money is still good, especially since it's a guitar bought new.
This choice I would do without hesitation.

This guitar was made in korea.
This is a handle 24 cases with 2 humbucker pickups a (Micro AH-7-1 for the handle) and (Micro AH7-2 for the bridge), jumbo frets
Fixed bridge
It has a 5-way switch, one volume knob and a tone knob
Channel Wizard 7 (typical Ibanez neck)
Basswood body and black acastillage

In conclusion it is a guitar with a simple but effective configuration

UTILIZATION

We find a high-speed race, a true highway I think the others will not contradict me
The access to acute it is easy even if I do not often venture
The weight is ok, not too heavy (I am not yet very robust and muscular)
The form is suitable
is obtained facielemnt the sound you want to sound too serious selector position on the micro serious and go for a clear the selector in the middle and go

The only downside that I'll put it that I tend to change the selector position playing (maybe is it my fault on my 6 strings though I do not fesais)

SOUNDS

I made the merger (rap / rock) so I often goes from light to heavy, its fat and it suits me perfectly clean the cord so (I Disagree in LA) sounds great (with a good amp though safe)
I played with a ibanez tbr50 suited me very well (I've changed, I bought a double body of the matrix H & K) is well cashed my 7th string (because the problem with the 7 string is that the Most amps 1st prize n'encaissent not rope SI) I test it on the marshall MG series was horrible. I also have a digitech multi effect that cash as well
By the micro serious I just play metal very heavy and greasy to me what should I use instead of its clean with the 2 micro selector in the middle
I prefer the sound of heavy and greasy (that's why I bought it)
After the level that I hate I can not tell you because I play mostly heavy distortion and clean sound ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months and I am fully satisfied I love her loo, its bass sound and clear, like the handle unless the selector position of the strings too close for my taste
I have not try other models of 7-string because I wanted a 7 string ibanez not too expensive to start with a 7-string
The quality / prxi was very good because I enjoy a promotion on it I paid 250 euro instead of 460 euro
And with the experience I remake the same choice without hesitation is a very good guitar price / quality ratio I still think that in a while I would change the pickups to put more efficient (Di Marzio, Seymour Duncan, .. .)

UTILIZATION

J possde this guitar for 2 years now and I have done many dj scnes with. I also used a lot in rpetition.

As for the weight and feel, this guitar is quite correct for the price. Given that this is a seven-string, it is not too heavy.

The handle on it is flat for up to fast. However, I find the freight too Paisses my taste. In fact, this guitar rvle during heavy use and technical, a little limited. I had bought the base to play covers of Dream Theater. I found myself somewhat limited because the cargo too big limit the rapidity of play
I use this guitar to play dsormais of mtal doom, and it is be appropriate trs.
The absence of vibrato makes maintenance very easy.
Note a few rgulier potentiomtre volume, as is often the case: the sound decreases sharply at the end of the race the knob while the beginners race almost does not vary the volume.
The position is well slecteur the road.

SOUNDS

This guitar has two humbucker team of serious-sounding. Indeed we regret some versatility microphones. As I said, to play Doom or rhythmic mtal mtal, they will be more than enough. However if you DSIR sounds rich and varied in medium / high, you should change the pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall I think this guitar is a exclent qualitprix report. For about 400 commercially difficult to find a seven-string with better CHARACTERISTICS. It may hold aisment scnes or multiple RPTS.
Résumé in this guitar is a good buy for a trs September 1st-string budgets and limits.

However, if you want a more versatile MODEL (handle finer micro better quality I suggest you turn to the RG prestige MODEL 1527 (approximately 900)

It's a 7 string fixed bridge with strings through-made in Korea.
it possde rosewood fingerboard 24 frets.
the handle is trs trs end to compensate for the width a little greater due the 7th chord.
Premire is my 7 string, I took my bearings trs quickly, we adapt the speed of a Lumire this round, this impressive comfort.
possde it a 5 position selector microphone splitter that allows the microphones intermdiaire double position, volume and tonality.

UTILIZATION

So stick trs enjoyable and fast access to acute carefree with the heel ergonomic body is light and comfortable as an old-strato with bevels in the arm and stomach.
Russianness a brief comfort level!

SOUNDS

I play a lot of this style of music ranges from blues to mtal violent.

I mainly play on an old marshall 5275 vintage and a small first generation Valvestate 15 W with a Zoom G2 mainly with its optional expression pedals.

the level that ibanez is a good surprise, it's not a guitar "mtal" but plutt an ibanez in the broadest sense, ie its modern and versatile!

the output level is not the type trs high output but honntement correct, allowing it to play the metal.
intermdiaires positions of selector gives a serious cot and cot stratocaster sound of a sharp sound of his telecaster twang, in short, super nice in saturated as clear!
otherwise the humbucker has a modern sound typical of Ibanez.

the seventh chord sounds trs well with the original pickups that has either the small or big w 15 w 75, is balanced and versatile short.

in fact I think his prinicpal worry is to not have its own personality, but is it really a default? I do not think!

OVERALL OPINION

I utlise last two weeks, I purchase, I do not regret it!
it is easy to play, comfortable, fun and a sound that can play everything.
short guitar idalie!
I would say bah its default of being versatile, but the advantage is that it is not exclusive to one style, often associated mtal and 7-string, but with it you can play, but you can also play the rest!
I think it has a trs good report quality price.
I exprience with a resume without hsit, but over time I think that I would change the pickups to make it a little more exclusive styles that I had dedicates.
but as a dj is gniale!
a brief Russianness is the seven strings of the people!
Do not hesitate you will not!

Electric guitar strings in September, with bridge (floyd no = not making head) fixed and traversing ropes. Channel 24 boxes Rabl (Mapple), rosewood fingerboard (rosewood).
Made in Korea.
The neck is a Wizard-II is the version that handles non prestige Wizzard well known shredders (those on the RG Prestige). Channel trs so late.
It was also a slecteur three positions (bridge, bridge / neck, neck), one volume and one potentiomtre of Tone.

Overall absolutely no point ngatif. It may possibly regret the absence of potentiomtre unique volume, but it's not a big loss.

UTILIZATION

I test this guitar in the store.

The handle is trs enjoyable, fine and soft. Obviously it is more "high" that handles six strings, but the playability is Submitted. The adjustment period is short and trs also feels that the DS grip.

Access in acute is very practical because the hollow infrieur of the guitar is deep trs. Remember that the form is RG plbiscite by the soloists of all kinds.

Ergonomics is a strong point: the body has two dfonces. THE FIRST is the junction of body and your arm, to facilitate the game The second is the junction of body and your stomach for comfort.
It is also trslgre! I did not weigh but a rough guess I would say less than two pounds.

I thought about the sound at beginners should be sure that I change the pickups, and move on EMG-707. In Ralite no need for the moment, and yet I played on a transistor amplifier 65watts. It sends believe me!
Nothing wrong here, everything is spot on.

SOUNDS

I play a lot of black / thrash / death, and it is perfect. But this question is because all dbile dpend your rglage ... Say that the microphones SERIES of this guitar are versatile enough to attack you for softer styles.
Time will tell me but for now I think even when it paste the EMG-707, they have a much more frank potato.

I play a Peavey Studio Pro 112 and the sound is really fat (fat in English)! Honntement it sounds great, heavy and strong! If you add effects on it (including distortion) you can expect some nice surprises.

Overall I think that, given its price, the microphones are all made honntes but can be a little too versatile. Large hardos their prfreront probably EMG or Dimarzio.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is a monster price quality ratio. When I started watching my seven-string Schecter port my attention at first. Then I learned that the mark had some problems: distribution (count four months waiting for a Hellraiser, the Loomis is not yet distributed in France) and the size of the handle (take a five-string bass and you fixs).

I love the handle and ergonomics, it's really his biggest advantage: easy to play, soft, easy to ACCS Acute ...

I have the "exprience", and I think for Premire seven strings (without changing the microphones) is a good choice trs. If you change the pickups I think it can without flinching galer some high-end ladies.

Made of indonsie. 24 cases. Jumbo frets. 7 strings.
No Floyd ...
I am not a specialist in.

UTILIZATION

The frets are a little big. Trs but the handle is flat, fast and enjoyable. The finish is qu'honnte.
The weight, it is also heavier than my Start.
This gives a good sound quickly.

SOUNDS

I play mtal overall. For clean sounds sound is good and remind my strat mxicaine. The saturated fat is mostly on the say so of grave.On ragouillage ... But my amp may be too small (Valvestate 8020) I try on a more powerful amp (Valveking 112): its really makes better. To the heavy metal (Dream Theater, Metallica), this should trs well!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months to play most of Dream Theater, and I find the height. His report is qualitprix suitable trs. I ignored this site for my choice because I wanted a 7 string too CHRE to make me hand on this type of guitar. I'm not. Its strong point is his report qualitprix his sober black and I really like ease of adaptation for beginners on a 7-string.
His weakness: the lack floyd, and lack of cot me ... that could roll back some.
This would be a remake I redeemed without problem.

Ibanez RG 7321 (7 string)

Made in Indonesia
Channel: 24 cases Wizzard 7
Pickups: 2 doubles Ibanez (5 positions selectable)
Bridge: Fixed
Trimming: 1 volume, 1 tone and a 5 position selector microphones

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics:
This is my first 7 string, usually I play on Ibanez RG Prestige (6 strings).
I chose this guitar to try my hand at the 7-string without ruin me and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this guitar prices "broken".
The handle is necessarily wider than RG 6 strings but is still very easy
to play, access to the last box is not a problem.
Level look is that of a conventional RG 7: very current, we only wish
not be able to choose colors other than black. It is very light (at least
3 pounds less than my RG prestige). I put 8 / 10 for usability because I am still a bit more comfortable on my 2550ex RG prestige for the plans very fast but hey let's not quibble at that price is already very good.

SOUNDS

I mainly use the scraper to the Metal in fact I think Ibanez
targeted metal this guitar out. Good microphones are correct without
but at that price should not expect a Dimarzio's or EMG. I find that his lack
a little potato and precision and it is felt when the branch on a good amp.
In fact for micro home I would put 7 / 10. I have changed for Dimarzio and there
is the slap! On a good amp it has an amazing potato! Big riffs become serious if the heavy and extremely clean (no feedback in all directions for can
that mastering just the instrument). So for the tone with Dimarzio (especially the evolution in seven bridge) I would put 10/10!

OVERALL OPINION

Well I use the scratch for about a year, I set (handle, nut, bridge
microphones) to change the pulling of strings for the 10/59. And I must say that now is a
killing the scratches. As well as it is a fixed bridge no hassle to deal with a floyd.
Frankly if you want a 7 string that kills without breaking the bank buying the scratches and make the rule by a real luthier change the pickups (the priority in the bridge position) and you have a 7-string deadly with little maintenance (no floyd !)
In any plan to the price of the guitar (300 to 400 euros used or new 480 to 500) at least one microphone (7 to evolution in 78euros Music Store) and a good setting in a luthier (25 to 50 according to the maker ) unless you know well set a scraper (attention to the reinforcing rod of the handle if you do not know the rules!) In all the scratches came back to 378 euros with any changes.

The Ibanez RG7321 is a guitar that is built for the player who wants get into owning a good quality seven that feels and sounds like the higher end Ibanez RG guitars, but doesn't cost nearly the same as the Prestige models like the RG1527. It's built overseas and features a basswood body, maple neck with rosewood fretboard, 24 frets with dot inlays, sealed tuners, a hardtail bridge and a pair of dual Ibanez humbuckers. It's basically a seven string version of their popular RG321 six string guitar.

UTILIZATION

The design is basically that of a classic Ibanez RG but in a seven string format. It's quite light and sculpted like all Ibanez RGs and the neck has a thin Wizard profile that is perfect for fans of the classic Ibanez shredding feel. It has great upper fret access too due to the AANJ neck heel and the very deep cutaways that allow reaching right up to the 24th fret.

Getting a good sound out of this guitar is decent overall. The stock electronics leave a bit to be desired in regards to their clarity and articulation but all in all it's easy to dial in. You have to watch the bass and low mids as they can get a bit lost on the lower strings, but it's not too bad overall. The split coil tones are great for clean or some odd order overdrive tones as well.

SOUNDS

The tones out of this guitar aren't too bad as stock. The OEM pickups really leave a lot to be desired in the clarity department, but the guitar is not a high end instrument so that is to be expected to a degree. They sound good when put into a decent high gain amplifier for metal or fusion riffage for sure but they do tend to get kind of muddy in the low end which is not such a good thing with a seven string. These guitars do open up quite a bit if you put in a nicer set of pickups such as DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan, and if you're a fan of the feel, it might be worth it to invest in a nice pair of humbuckers to go into it. This is a common complaint I have with Ibanez guitars in general (stock pickups) so at this point I factor a pickup swap into the cost of any new Ibanez guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Ibanez RG7321 is a great seven string for the price. It has a great feel, is easy to play, and if you put in a new set of pickups it would sound pretty killer. At about $500 new this guitar is fairly priced, though I'd rather find a used one for about $300 and pop a new set of pickups into it for some great seven string tones.

This guitar pretty much started the 7 string trend. The RG7321 is all you need to play some 7 string riffery. The guitar is barebones simple but gets the job done great. This guitar is a stripped down 7 string that has been in the Ibanez line for many years now. It has slightly changed recently and this change has made it even better. The guitar has a basswood body like most Ibanez guiars. It has Ibanez's famous wizard neck so the neck is super thin and playable. The neck has a rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets. It has dual Ibanez pickups. The upgraded part on this guitar is they recently changed the bridge. It has a Gibraltar style bridge now instead of the Fender style hardtail. This new bridge is much more comfortable than the old Fender style bridge. The onctrols are simple with a volume and tone for each pickup with a 5 way blade switch.

UTILIZATION

The super easy to play nature of this guitar helps downplay the fact that it is a 7 string. Because the guitar is so easy to play you hardly notice how wide the fretboard is. Ibanez Wizard necks are some of the thinnest guitar necks out there. They are well known for their playability. The body of the guitar has some deep cutaways so it is very easy to get to the upperfrets. The neck join is sculpted and rounded so it does not get in the way much when playing up there either. I prefer this guitar over Ibanez's other 7 string models because it is a hardtail. I always look for hardtail guitars over tremolo guitars. I would rather have the tuning stability and the ease of changing strings in my guitar.

SOUNDS

The stock pickups in Ibanez guitars are usually very weak and this is no different. Going from a guitar with aftermarket pickups to this and you will think someone changed the settings on your amp. This pickups are dull and tired sounding. The pickups are usually the first thing you throw out when you get an Ibanez. A set of 7 string Dimarzios will really help you get the best out of your sound on this guitar. The stock pickups do not give it justice.

OVERALL OPINION

The RG7321 has been the best way to get into 7 string guitars for years. Its simple hardtail design means you have less to worry about and its super thin neck means you and jump right in and dont have to adjust for much. With a swap of pickups this guitar can be a real beast. It is really all you need when getting into 7 string guitars. It has the playablity and the simplicity that you want. If you are looking to get into 7 strings you can do a lot worse than getting one of these.
