All user reviews for the Ibanez RG7620

Made in japan, Floyd, 5-position and 2 humbuckers. I've customized with a crunch and a Lab7 LiquiFire and a 3 position selector ... 1 volume knob and tone 1potard ... Extra thin flat neck and ibanez known in 24 cases with

UTILIZATION

Super soft and comfortable handle, light weight and rather form and allows a secure and easy access to acute. Sends sound base. But I have desired configuration has petrucci and we feel a radical change c is accurate even if it spits with much more open sound than original.

SOUNDS

Style rock, metal so perfect. Used on line 6 spider valve hd 100 hd 500 pod and custom. Necessarily mine sounds quickly petrucci has a few notes (j on the other hand not have his hands ) the clean and crunch is excellent and accurate joining!

OVERALL OPINION

First new guitar with a quality / price excellent time € 800 al ...
J Jackson hesitated with Kelly in 6 or 7 string ibanez in ... And being influenced by many bands playing 7-string al time (korn, fear factory, dream theater) I made this choice I would do with a little Kelly with lol!

I've been looking to purchase a 7-string for quite some time. Ibanez has been making them longer than anyone. I have owned several Ibanez models in the past and always very pleased with them. I was actually looking for a Universe but just couldn't justify paying that kind of money just for the "extras" it has. After several weeks of searching I finally found what I needed on Ebay. I purchased from LM Music in Chatanooga, TN for around $550. What a deal!

I actually like my purchase more than I expected. Needed a guitar that could do it all...not a whole arsenal of guitars cluttering up my small home...Needed a 7-string...couldn't pay much money...The transition from 6 to 7-string was very easy. The 7-string neck actually feels more comfortable to play. I tried several different brands of 7-strings but felt most comfortable with the Ibanez line. The Dimarzio pickups sound incredible. The wiring and choices of different sounds allows me to get just about any sound imaginable...EXACTLY what I was looking for. Wasn't really positive about the VK finish, but when I opened that case up for the first time I threw all doubts aside. Pictures don't do it justice.

None better! I've owned them all at one time or another...Les Pauls, Strats, Teles, Jacksons, Hamers, BC Richs...None comes close to the Ibanez.

Exactly what I was looking for. Transition from 6 to 7 string was painless. Sold all my 6 strings. This is the only guitar I own now. It does averything I need it to.

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Made in Japan. Channel two octaves, two double (changed as soon as possible for a tone zone and air norton 7 7) which compltement opened the guitar sound a little too smooth with dimarzios home. The lo-pro edge into the agreement without flinching, the five positions are really varied and the handle is played alone with a super low action when properly rgl and without a frieze in all directions. ..

UTILIZATION

Lgre for a 7-string, Access in acute and very easy control of the total. But it's not a Les Paul, it does not play for you and you have to move things with your guitar playing. But once it is made, difficult to return anything

SOUNDS

The five sounds are trs typical of the brand ... trs soft crystalline and split trs dynamic prcis in duplicate on saturations. Crunches are the same soft or aggressive depending on your games and hardware. It is not necessary, and allows all with his own voice.

OVERALL OPINION

In three years I had more and more difficult to ask it to play my other guitars (including a custom Warmoth, a Start, a Les Paul, another Ibanez 6-string (570 climbs Dimarzios) .. .). The 7th string is really a gift when seeking encoreplus versatility and expressiveness. The ratio Q / P is even better now that prices have dropped a little and the violin is at the top. Today I do not play on it and it is on all the tracks in BMD of my group and our new album due out late 2004.

- Made in Japan 99
- 7 strings
- Floyd-like Lo-Pro Edge 7 bridge
- 24 frets
- Basswood body
- DiMarzio (Humbucker) handle
- DiMarzio (humbucker) bridge
- Color: Galaxy Black

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable but trs trs Obviously because of the large 7-string.

Access in acute is very simple, probably as simple as a strat-type guitar.

The shape resembles that of a stratum with sharp edges.

This gives excellent sound quality as the ds serious pr play power chords, treble that ds, pr arpge play.

SOUNDS

The sound of the RG7-620 are exactly the style of music I play (metal, neo-metal ...). The sounds of power chords are powerful trs (Dimarzio forces) and the clean sounds (treble particulirement ds) st crystal trs.
The sound chgent normment depending on whether one places the 'pickup' of such (s) or that (s) mic (s).

OVERALL OPINION

This is probably the best 7-string guitar that exists today. This does not mean it has no rival srieuses (formerly of Jackson 7-string MODELS US).
We must be careful cepdt avt to buy a guitar such as:
- Everybody is not comfortable with 7 strings ds fingers
- Even if it is quite polivalente, we can not all play.
- Must be accustomed with the SETTING THE floyd

Avt to buy it, I tried the RG7-320, the 420 and Jackson 7-string. Suffice to say right away that The models 320 and 420 do not st trs good quality. Has the difficulty of the Ibanez dpartager of Jackson.
I certainly do it again if no choice of nv MODEL RG7 (high end) did not go out.

At the config, refer to other notices that are relevant in this regard.

UTILIZATION

The neck of this guitar is actually wider. Last year I played a lot with it until I left on vacation during which a wrist pain persisted (I felt when I was taking support out of the pool). One of my friend who is a fan of 7-string and has a dozen confirmed to me that he knew of cases of tendinitis caused by this model ...
That said I do not have very large hands, this probably explains it.
Another unexpected result from the practice of this round, increased velocity and increased the ease of playing a 6 string.

SOUNDS

The pickups fitted as original are certainly Di Marzio but low-end. The entire set is well balanced but it lacks gniak. The microphone of my Ibanez S370 are pêchus.
My buddy (the 7-string fan ) is systematically replacing the pickups with EMG.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for + / - 2 years I think. I quite like the scratches despite its faults and it became my main guitar.

I still reported a failure: many chips in the paint at the edges as I did not undergo treatment more daring than my other guitars ... strange strange ...

This pretty bte Has factory in Japan (99 for mine. MODEL This is no longer manufactured today), it has 24 frets, the pickups for DiMarzio origins taient low-end, which sounded a little dirty (on mine, they have been replaced for DiMarzio Blaze II that sound great, a true wonder: they are two humbucker splittable thanks to the switch 5 positions.
The bridge is a floyd lo pro liscence in Ibanez (which takes trs good agreement and allows you all the fantasies). The rglages are: a volume knob, a knob and a selector of Tone ... What classic and effective.
The neck is a wizard-I know-not-how (pfff, you get lost with all variants of Ibanez) ...
It has everything I demand a guitar plus an septime rope.
(I put 9 because the pickups are not original gniaux)

UTILIZATION

The handle, though paint is super flat, super enjoyable, Access in acute is really super easy thanks to the heel typical profile of Ibanez's horn and the bottom is trs Canker and leaves much room for fingers.
The ergonomics are great, it is quite lgre, well balance.
Since I changed the pickups, just the Login on the amp, and the sound is (almost) forcment good.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for what I play, I'm not!
I played on a mesa boogie subway rocket and pedal digitech RP 14, and believe me, sends a strong!
with the micro heat (blaze II neck, so on mine), the sound is trs round, the distortion is warm and there is a trs good sustain, the sound of microphones Splitt handle is trs tr s vintage soft (low gain). the two pickups together are the best option but still pretty cool. The bridge pickups Splitt gives his trs crystalline but with very little gain, and finally walking bridge pickups full price (Blaze II neck) sounds like a significant steve special: namely beautifully! distortion at the same time very powerful trs output, lots of potatoes and precision, the rhythmic sound of the solos as hell.
Let's talk about clean sounds, they are a breath away! it looks like a real acoustic! (Almost even better), mind-boggling.
I like almost any sound, but the particulirement distorion the two microphones (separately) not split.

OVERALL OPINION

Depusi I use two or three weeks, so I'm not used to the super Septimus rope but is frankly not agne.
In any case the Blaze II pickups have rvle.
The ratio quality price, well I do not care because I bought used (at a price that suited me perfectly).
For a seven-string is the best! I do not think you can do much better!
(Ah so remarkable, if not the handle n'tait varnish, it would be the same Enora can be better, but the I quibble).
I would do without this choice hsiter now that I'm a little familiaris with!

Everything has been said
DiMarzio Blaze 7

UTILIZATION

Channel fine enough for a 7-string compared to a ... Access to acute ltd easy it just takes time to adjust.
The weight is acceptable but far from lightweight it can become heavy after 2 hours of show.

The clean sound is not great, in good sustain saturation for passive pickups, agressivit in the middle if you have an amp that's not all suit.Car to have heavy tuning is also something that can make potato ...

For the floyd, I use a small 60grosse/12 pulling it into the tuning of the first day to last day of use, supports attacks "aggressive" and should not be difficult to regler.Suffit you take the time to understand and settle it once and for her draft.

SOUNDS

Perfect for the neo, very good for the death, thrash, melodic death metal, etc. .. , Not bad for blues in the neck pickup.

I use a warp t, ca follows, it makes!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 years, she did loose pas.Peinture fragile but it's not catastrophic, it shows that the guitar live and it does not remain locked in a Pouche.

I like it because no other brand can give me a handle as good (even jackson), it is versatile and simple.

I tried LTDS but apart from that I emg 817 superiors, they have not convinced me.

Quality cost? more than honest!

Yes I do it again this choice without hesitation, in fact I do not play on 7-string.

Start now!

It's a classic: two doubles, basswood body, vibrato EDGE ... an Ibanez 7 string with siouplé.

UTILIZATION

The handle: yeah, it really is

ergonomics, also ...

access to acute? top!

Good sound: I have reservations there. In fact the instrument is very good, a treat. But the microphones are still not what is the best.

It depends on what we play (and how it is played), too. And what amp was ...

SOUNDS

Hmm ... very versatile guitar, if we hold good microphones. Original ones are not bad, but it deserves better!

Universe is like a less expensive, without decorations, but the quality is there, you had to fuck the microphones that go, especially to learn to play it.

Essential: it must be nearly a head + cabinet (a 1x12 would if it was a good HP) and that's where I bitterly regret to have sold because I had something to surround it would have been at the top and this guitar is great!

OVERALL OPINION

I used about 2 years, intermittent ... Alas ... with no quality amp for plugging, etc ...

So I sold it, and I ended up with an old stratum in the hands (I like a lot, with a double bridge and all. It has the mojo, it is not explained)

But damn, I miss the little 7-string, right now I'm progressing more (with a schedule of 3 hours and some, of course) and I say shit, if I still had the small ibanez, there ...

Do not sell!

Rather buy a cool head a little, damn him real good microphones, add a 2x12 ... and at work: p

In any case, this guitar is really great. This is the kind of material that can produce albums, do something really serious with ... I take back a soon as I have the gold coins, for that matter (or 1527, his cousin more current, or S7370, or ... y 'a full and very friendly, and I start a work of Vai and Dream Theater, and has become perhaps one day be able to exploit the potential of such a machine!

That this is an opinion ... concise, expressed with back ... hoping to be able to contribute a little to this excellent site that is AF. Good music!

Made in Japan.
Channel 24 frets, jumbo frets
Pickups 2 DiMarzio double
Vibrato Floyd license
Adjusting the volume and tone.
Selector 5 poistions
Channel Wizzard RG slim ... of pure Ibanez

UTILIZATION

First the handle ... It is good in the world of ibanez: It's broad, straight, fine and ultra flat. This is a very special type for those who do not know the race of RG. From my point of view it is not better. I am fortunate to have purchased a used guitar very well adjusted. It is perfectly fair, the strings are very close to c that makes it frieze when you want and not all the time. Also, although it is a handle screwed up a router can have no thickening ... A wonder for those who have an inclination of soloists. In short it is the best race I had in hand, it runs itself! The only worry is the time to adapt. The strings are further apart than on most guitars and it's a long tune. At first it hurts the fingers! (Besides those with small hands should refrain I think)

The interface is really perfect. She has a form stratabound, it is perfectly balanced, not too heavy although it is a 7-string. Basically, when standing or sitting, it's always nice.

Finally, I would not say anything at floyd because the previous owner of my guitar was blocked and I never felt the desire to remove the hold!

SOUNDS

It is perfectly suited to my style. I play prog death with a lot of changes in moods. It sticks well regardless of the sounds used, sounds crystal clear, clean or vintage crunch or distortion huge!

I played on lots of different config: ENGL 530 preamp with Mesa 50-50, Hughes and Kettner Warp7, Vox AD15VT, Dual Rectifier, Marhall JCM 900. Whatever the amp, it still retains its personality: its a very sharp and distortion in its clear fenderiens.

Another interesting quality, run to Ibanez. You can have the bridge humbucker in the normal position or Parallel. Parallel position allows clear sounds crystal clear and very very little distortion with gain incredible precision on May 1 in the media.

I especially like the crunch and distortion. The lime gives a little fuzz very nice, and the level of attack is always respected. This guitar has a lot of momentum, especially since all frequencies are present. It has no dip in the midrange guitars metal type.
Add-on: after a while with this guitar I replaced the bridge pickup with a DiMarzio Evolution 7. It's really great: It does not change the sound characteristics of the guitar but it improves greatly. This is even more dynamic with an output level worthy of a microphone and active compression.
8 with the original mics and 9 with an evolution.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it intensely for six months. I do not regret at all that choice. I will not change the guitar to pass on the high end! No other 7-string did comes close (and I've tried a lot: schecter, ibanez saber 7, Wolbers jackson old ...).

Being a fan of Meshuggah, Fear Factory and formerly of Korn, one finds the sound characteristics of these groups if we have time to lean on.

If there is one complaint with this guitar is that I would do all the Ibanez RG. The varnishes are very fragile, so it jumps at the slightest touch. Must be very careful.

Conclusion: If you want to buy a 7 string quality without breaking the bank, buy it for OCCAZ, really, you will not be disappointed!

[add on] After two years of practice I love this more and more guitar. Fearing that it takes a shot of old suddenly, I looked for a replacement. Frankly, nothing comes close. Especially not the 1527 that have a handle less comfortable and less accurate sound, same goes for the K7. Schecter have the logs in place of sleeves, the ESP is less versatile ... In short, probably one of the best 7-string ever made ​​... Besides, I love this model so that I will like to pay me a second ... If you have one, I took!

everything has already been said ....

UTILIZATION

Channel fast way, typical of the brand, very low action only with those I love Vigiers, U shape, ergonomics incredible that less flat jacksons the blow we are not stuck to the handle, really very nice Friends shredders with big hands it's even easier than a 6 because the strings are further apart, the vision of the handle is more "clear" it causes a frenzy of speed because there is no limits except your skills. ..
-The interface is perfect, very well balanced (the guitar is not itchy nose), light for a 7-string (Basswood forces) at the form I have never found even more beautiful than the shape of the RG, timeless gracious and sober ...
-Access to treble? why there does not 27 squares is to tell you.
Ah the sound ... and it already bin will depend on the player, it will sound as you play (if you're a bad casserole, great if you are a killer).

For the original sound the first time I connected, I bought it without trying it, I laughed ... I had my RG 560 of 1992 mounted Dimarzio Breed and Fast Track (the gun but tired by the supersonic age) and ben ... I played 14sec on this 7-string, I asked I Thoto connected and I ordered an EMG 817 and a 707
A month later with a lot of work, things have begun serious.

SOUNDS

Well I play in a group of Death / Trash / Prog infl (Meshuga, Opeth ,...) and am passionate about Fusion Shred (Al di Meola, Shwan Lane, Ron Thal, Buckethead and other nerds. I am also the most big fan of Metallica in the world of 80's early 90's.
So if you ask me if it suits your style of music I would say no.
Because of its metamorphosis it suits a style of music that I like: the Big Steel, which cut the mushrooms and howling solos to 2000 per hour.
This 7-string 81-7 is mounted to the handle 707 at the bridge (careful work), it is given in open A (AEADGBE bass to treble, tuning awesome to have a standard 6-string plus a cable Meshugguien)
His tyrant 10-46 which is subtracted the 46 for 52 in E and the 7th string is a 64
Beyond that spends more than 65 in the hole and it's useless anyway you lose sustain and also the effect that I like a lot Djent Metal. Note that a seventh thick rope turns more regularly than others, because it loses much of slamming a bit like the bass strings, the "shiny bar quickly"
It is plugged into a Randall head HR 200 with an speaker Randall Engl more, all with one j'équalize MXR 10bandes and there my friends welcome to hell ... It is accurate enough to die, I love surgery clinic, the bass is monstrous, I have the perfect cross between the sound of the Vulgar Pantera Meshuggah and The Black Album. The distortion that I looked perfect for ryhtmics dingo raging from 70 to 220 bpm
So to clear the other pitcher, I use a variety of effect and thanks to the intermediate position of the selector is pretty cool but very modern, we would like what turns into PRS or Gretch guitar but that turns it exists not yet.
The first time I tried the guitar plugged directly into the clear in the bridge position with 81-7, like it rough around the edges, 20 crows have fallen ... the legend was true. So I armed myself


OVERALL OPINION

More than 2 years ... Without that choice I will ever hésiatation just distal to the scavenging
My second scratch in 1527 I know by heart: evolution then mounted his solos and leads others sing compared to mine but it is not very defined medium and in the grave. The need to merge
I tried a dismal RG 7321, a jackson too tight uncomfortable, LTD a beam (not a fan, too rythmic metal shred enough), no test nor the Vigier Petrucci or R-Cooley but I ' imagine that it must be something as another dimension ...
But if it comes back to earth, I bought more 400th 250th 650th to work then I challenge you to find me a new guitar or 6 7cordes even that sends all the wood with this quality (except paint varnish disaster but hey who cares it does not bother me to have pets, the guitar's normal lives ...
Thank you I found my AF weapon supersonic thanks to your PA, I would not ride on gold, so the stores and prices of mangy dogs, thank you ...
Long live the market and the community OCCAZ AF
PS: I'm not Trevellin with just one allen key and blocks put together have you turned the microphone and then you have been asked not to criticize people who have installed this or this, everyone's tastes and orientation music ... a little advice now, you have blaze first generation of very bad bills ... if you seek the ultimate in versatility I advise you to try the pair air norton-tone area and your dd will seem a goldman another world ... as for the criticism of emg, is certainly better on the mahogany, but if everyone cashed 4000th month we would each have four 7 string with emg of PAFs of lundgren of barknuckles now ... be chosen as required, so you better not say that this shit mic will sound once pointed to hell ... you lie to prospective buyers who are probably more savvy than you are and not who posts a notice after 2 weeks

is a 7-string made in japan bridge lo pro edge 7, 24 frets maple neck rosewood fingerboard, basswood body, 2 DiMarzio (from 1998, are blaze II are standard on this guitar; source; The Blue Book of Guitar edition 2010) routed by a 5-way switching, 1 volume and tone.

UTILIZATION

The handle is great, you walk on it without annicroches!
I think this is one of the most enjoyable rounds I've played my entire career as a guitarist!
access to treble is very good and can access the box without forcing 24th and keeping your thumb over the button (must say that I have big hands!)
are obtained frankly sounds very good with!

SOUNDS

I play many different styles and this guitar is capable of playing in books as different as jazz and rock, yes, this may seem incredible, but for a guitar typed "metal" and that everyone has cataloged in the registry then it is capable of sounding funk, metal, rock to Hendrix, jazz and so on ....
I could play it quietly at home and I can tell you frankly that's falling over backwards!
microphone delivers a serious and very very warm jazz (come on, hop! a little "full house wes montgomery fingers in the nose!).
editing sound of a good catch, I could play the blues mean to and I even started a "barn" of the bearded Texan, frankly, it sounds!
split, there is access to sound more precise arpeggios.
central position is ideal for rock to Jean-Jacques Goldman!
mic acute split position, it is in the funk; beautiful arpeggios and specific funk grooves that come without much effort!
Then, and finally, the mic acute arrives, and there it is better to use it with distortion, the sound is too clear out the mids and very precise: it is not necessarily pretty, but it does not attack !
but when to start the saturax is madness!
"Some Kind of Monster" Metallica goes with the obvious and serious on the mic I will not speak on the microphone saturation frank acute; it sounds like deftones!
on 09/12/2010: I found the sound of the neck pickup was too "fuzz" with saturation pushed forward on the amp, so I took out my clée Allen and walked up the pads of the microphones and the result is clear, the sound now is better defined and better corresponds to what I expected from this guitar!
when I read that people have changed the pickups for EMG or DiMarzio Autès they had better, first time, to modify the height of the studs microphones to have a different sound for, swing over 200 € in d other microphones, so we already have on hand more than good microphones, you still have to think before acting ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it last Saturday, and, honestly, what kind of guitar is needed at home for himself, and play on it without restraint, and I have rarely dries up praise guitars, but this, for me, is one of exceptional guitars, and those who, when the branch, you say "that one, she fucks the ground so it is good to play and has a sound fall over backwards! "
I tried many, many guitars, and I've owned (and counting!); this, it is simply amazing!
I love the most, the bridge lo-pro edge 7 which is much better agreement than the original floyd, the handle very easy to play, the killing of microphones, sound accurate and versatile, light weight, the access to acute ....
I like the least, this guitar is too often associated with the image of metal and may go unnoticed for jazzman or funkymen who swear by the ES-335 or fender strato, open your ears, you may not come back!
I bought it secondhand € 235 in cash easy and it is the bargain of the century!
the price / quality ratio is amazing!
the last price it was sold was $ 1,300 U.S.. (see Blue Book of Guitars, 2010).
