Ibanez Review: RG1077XL 7 String

History:

Purchase: I ordered this guitar from Wollongong Music Center, NSW, Australia. It cost me 2,300 Australian Dollars. I want the guitar that is totally different from the previous one. So I choose 7 strings(my previous one is Tom Anderson Cobra).

What I Like About This Ibanez RG1077XL 7 String: Great Sound from the DiMarzio 7 Custom pickups, it is thick, powerful, and beautiful. Great work for quality of neck and it is smooth and very easy to play. Easy access to the deepest fret (24th fret). Reasonable price when compare with other RG 7 strings model which is a little bit cheaper but quality is quite different and this model that I bought is the top model for RG series. Very good looking guitar(belief me)!!!.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez RG1077XL 7 String: I did not find anything that is not good for me. However, I am used to the U shape neck(Tom Anderson) not thin neck like Ibanez but it is still perfect for me. It is quite confuse to play 7 strings at the first time but after I played for a while it is alright. I'm not quite sure that in the future the neck of guitar would bend or not!!?? because it is thin.

Ibanez RG1077XL 7 String Quality Rating: Basswood body with Lo pro Edge tremolo. Prestige neck(great work)!!! Perfect work for this guitar.

Review Summary: Great!!!! Worth for your money. You can compare with other model and you will find that it is the best. I think it is a stupid idea to buy Steve Vai's Universe 7 strings, which is fucking expensive and not worth your money just to get his name and model. Buy RG1077xl and you will not be sad if you want a great 7 strings guitar.

Rating of this Ibanez product: 5
