Ibanez GRG7221QA-TKS

The Ibanez GRG7221QA-TKS is a 7-string solid-body electric guitar from the GIO Series, combining the familiar RG-style body with an extended low-B string for heavier and lower-register playing. It features a Quilted Maple Art Grain top over a Poplar body, giving it a distinctive figured appearance, while the GRG7 Maple neck provides a stable and comfortable platform for modern guitar techniques. Its 25.5-inch scale length is suitable for rock, metal, progressive and contemporary styles. 

The guitar uses an HH configuration with two Infinity R passive ceramic humbuckers, providing a tight and articulate response suited to high-gain applications. A 5-way selector offers multiple pickup combinations, including coil-selection options, while the dedicated volume and tone controls provide straightforward tonal adjustment. The bound Purpleheart fretboard has 24 medium frets and a 400 mm radius, giving the instrument a comfortable surface for both rhythm and lead playing. 

The F107 fixed bridge provides individually adjustable string saddles for accurate string height and intonation setup, while black hardware complements the Transparent Black Sunburst (TKS) finish. The guitar uses a 48 mm nut and 10.5 mm string spacing, with a .009–.054 seven-string set and factory tuning of E-B-E-A-D-G-B from the lowest to highest string. 
