Is this worth it as a first 7 string? I’m in love with the way it looks, and I love the fluence and sustaniac that it has. I’m all in for the features, and looking for an axe with a sustaniac, split coil and a floyd. Is this a good option, or are there any better alternatives. Looking to spend no more than 2000!

I play a lot of dropped 7 string stuff and I love a Floyd and I do a lot of technical leads as well, so I’m just really wondering what would catered more to my style of playing.

I posted a few days ago with help deciding between this or the Misha HT7. I ended up going with the schecter and I'm so happy, this thing is amazing! The pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend for anyone on the fence

Should I grab this and route an Evertune in it?

Opinions on solar guitars?

Hey friends,

I am looking to upgrade a few components on my 2024 Ibanez RG7421EX that I picked up on marketplace. Looking to upgrade the following:

- Pickups: I tried to like the Quantum but I think I hate them, so likely doing a Seymour Duncan Nazgûl 7 in the bridge and haven’t made up my mind on the Neck.

- Bridge: specifically, are there any good drop in, no drill options to replace the Ibanez F107 bridge? If it requires drilling or routing, in am not going to consider. The bridge feels fine but I have heard that swapping the bridge on these guitars can make a huge improvement.

-Nut: going to a graph tech nut burning anyone know the specific model, that would be super helpful. The plastic nut is whatever.

- Tuners: the tuners are bottom of the list because the current ones work. But they do suck. And similar tot the bridge, does anyone know the specific models that will drop in without drilling? Doesn’t have to be the standard brands if there is something good out there but a bit cheaper.

And the only other things I am considering is deleting the tone knob, putting the volume where the tone is and filling the hole. I have a killswitch on my 8 string and have yet to use it so I am not sure interesting in installing one. I might replace the switch and pots while swapping the pickups. And then maybe seeing if the shielding could use some updating because this guitar is noisy as hell under gain.

Thanks so much for the advice!!!

I recently sold an LTD H3-1007 Baritone. The LTD was a fantastic guitar, but just too big to be comfortable for me. I am considering buying an Ibanez RGA71AK-IAF Axion. I think the 25.5" scale will be more comfortable than the baritone's 27". I generally play in B standard so that scale length should be fine too. I play mostly post-metal, and melodic metal type stuff.

The specs on the guitar look great, and they seem to have a good reputation, but I am buying it sight unseen. Can anyone talk about their experiences with an Ibanez RGA71AK-IAF Axion? If so, what did you like, not like, etc? Thanks.

Any problems with fanned fret guitars with floating trems? (I.e. Strandberg, Kiesel)?
