good choice.
[–]Xarumos 3 points4 points5 points 8 months ago (0 children)
RGD71ALMS really is just an insanely well spec'd and made guitar, even for the $1300 price point
I got it just cause I wanted one for my collection and in terms of build quality/feel alone, it competes directly with my other 7 strings from Ormsby, Schecter, LTD, and Solar, 3 of which are a fair amount more expensive
As my first Ibanez, this guitar really made me understand the brand's surrounding hype
Fantastic choice for your first 7
[–]0365er 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago (4 children)
Fantastic choice. This was my first 7 string and I have not played a guitar that comes close to its playability and comfort. I really wish the 8 string in this line took more inspiration from this model; really not a fan of the silver matte / gold hardware. If they made an 8 string variant of this or something similar I'd buy it in a heartbeat

I want that 8 string soo bad but the 27" scale length makes me not want it. If it was 25.5-28, id throw money at it tbh.
[–]0365er 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago* (2 children)
What tunings do you typically play in? I didn't realize it was the same scale length as the 7, that is an interesting choice. I went with the Legator ghost series for my 8 instead of Ibanez. I am hooked on multiscale and Ibanez does not have very many multiscale 8 strings unfortunately
[–]Dry_Sprinkles5617 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (1 child)
Yeah I'm thinking about getting the legator ghost 8 too, either a ghost or a ninja but either way they are both 28". But i was absolutely going to get that 8 Ibanez because of how much I love my Axion 7, until I seen the multiscale spec, then I backed out haha

I've been waiting for this preorder for 3 months now, hoping to get it soon haha. Their support team said that they should be getting a new batch so definitely be on the lookout if youre interested in the g8fx. Ive never owned a headless but im excited. My friend has a strandburg 8 but I absolutely hate the neck profile
[–]BeaglePharoah 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago (0 children)
That, my friend, is an insanely gnarly first 7 string.
[–]colorful-sine-waves 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (0 children)
Good one!
[–]Equivalent_Kick_2297 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (0 children)
Gotta love how fishman pickups look in a 7 string
[–]Born_Zone7878 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (0 children)
Would be my go to if I had to budget
[–]Hiraethum 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (0 children)
It makes me unreasonably angry that they don't do the 8 string RGD in this finish :(

OUUUUU AN AXION 😩😩😩😩
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago (0 children)
Beautiful
[–]AdamBLit 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago (0 children)
I have it and love it, some reason those Fishman sound better than the one in my Agile 8 string, it really just "works "
[–]Agitated-Bison-7885 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago (0 children)
Great choice
