Ibanez RG7420EX-BKF

The Ibanez RG7420EX-BKF is a 7-string electric guitar from the RG series, designed for players who need extended range, fast playability and powerful high-gain performance. It features a Meranti body, 3-piece Maple Wizard II-7 neck and Jatoba fretboard, providing a balanced tonal response with a thin, fast neck profile. The 648mm (25.5") scale length and 24 jumbo frets provide a familiar playing feel while the additional low B string expands the instrument's range for modern rock, metal and progressive styles. (Ibanez)

The RG7420EX-BKF is equipped with Ibanez Quantum 7 passive ceramic humbuckers in an HH configuration. These pickups are designed for a quick low-end response, strong midrange and precise high-frequency articulation, making them particularly suitable for fast staccato riffs and high-gain playing. Its 5-way pickup selector provides multiple pickup combinations, including parallel and split-style configurations, allowing the guitar to cover both thick humbucker tones and brighter, more articulate sounds. (Ibanez)

For stable extended-range performance, the guitar features an Edge-Zero II-7 tremolo bridge with a low-profile design and stud-lock system. A locking nut works with the tremolo system to improve tuning stability during tremolo use. The Jatoba fretboard has white dot inlays, while the Black Flat (BKF) finish and black hardware give the instrument a clean, understated appearance. The guitar comes factory-fitted with D'Addario EXL120-7 strings and is tuned to standard 7-string tuning. (Ibanez)
