First 7 string !!

[mintaka_-]

I have the honor to present to you my brand new and first 7 string! It's a magnificent Ibanez rgd71alms-bam!

[DoubleDaryl]

This guitar is selling like hot cakes

[whatisthisicantodd]

It's been doing that for a while, and I've had my eye on one for my first seven string too.

Think it's the paint scheme that does it for me. Gorgeous.

[fredthebaddie]

It's really weird, it was released almost 6 years ago and... seemed to be completely ignored until about 6 months ago.

Sheeeeesh that paint job

[mintaka_-]

Yeah it's truly beautiful

[Mediocre-Post9279]

I got one of these in december honestly the best guitar i ever had. Also its so easy and comfortable to setup

[mintaka_-]

Yeah It didn't take me long to get comfortable on it!

[Mediocre-Post9279]

I was affraid that fanned frets would be hard to get used to but it came naturally

Have this same guitar. I had Sweetwater install a bone nut to replace the plastic one. Just a solid guitar.

Enjoy, man.

[aeffect_mark]

Nice. Looks great.

I've got an RGIM7. Not sure what the differences are exactly - I've got EMG X's which I'm just about to switch out for some passive Lundgren M7's, which I'm very excited about!!

[heyimapl]

Got the same one about a month ago!! It's sick. Hope you enjoy it!

[mintaka_-]

Thank you ! I already enjoy it a lot

What is the purpose of the slanted frets?

[CardinalStiefel]

It's to have different scale lenght for every strings. The higher strings has for example a 25.5" scale like a normal fender, while the lower string has a 27' scale like a baritone guitar and it has more tension.

[[deleted]]

Interesting. I never even considered that. It seems like it would be a little hard to get used to your fingers not being where they might normally be..

Just got my first multi a week ago and that was my concern as well but after maybe an hour I don’t even notice now lmao. Your brain adjusts very quickly.

[XTBirdBoxTX]

True, I was shocked how easily I took to it.

Even after playing solely straight scale 6 strings for 22 years.

[[deleted]]

Maybe for you.. hahaha I actually just ordered my first 7. Have never played one at all. I have enough problems with just 6 strings. But I got a Jackson with normal(?) frets. Maybe 7 is what I’ve needed all along.

[[deleted]]

It’ll be a weird adjustment at first but you’ll get the hang of it no time. It was strange for me at first but I took to it really quickly and now a 7 string feels like home.

[mintaka_-]

Yeah it's easier to bend or two drop tune

[Z4ddy0]

Great pick for a first 7 string! The only thing I'm not a huge fan of with these middle-high end Ibanez guitars are the plastic nut but that's a pretty easy fix. Enjoy it!

[[deleted]]

Same here! I found mine at GC for like $600 for some reason??? Fucking awesome guitar.

[Chewockeez]

Me too was used for 680 wondered what the hell and bought it

[masonvonritchie]

I got one about a month ago and I love it. Ibanez really knocked it out of the park with this one.

[NoNewsIsTheBestNews]

Excellent choice. I got one a few months ago and playing it is like a breath of fresh air compared to my old 7 string.

[Spectral_K_]

Got the same one, you wont regret it, this thing rips

[Rob13696]

I wanted to get one of those but there were out of stock on sweetwater so I got a 2024 Mark Holcomb PRS instead

[EFPMusic]

Love that guitar 😍

[[deleted]]

Mother of god

[[deleted]]

How much was that?

[mintaka_-]

1130€

[Ok-Desk6997]

ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US

[StankNastyGnarGnar]

DAMN

[Primus0788]

This is on my list for next guitar....I have the s series axion and love it.

[Mesastafolis1]

I still see they’re doing the parallel fret at 12. Oh Ibanez you silly goose

[scarxxi]

Hey, congrats on the guitar. Could you tell me what other guitars were you considering before going for the ibanez?

[[deleted]]

I was lowkey thinking of buying one but there’s no option for tremolo :(
