General
What an instrument! This 7-string ARZIR27FBDBS belongs to the Iron Label series that includes models that have been prepared for the heavier music styles. The single cutaway and the place of the pickup switch on the body of this guitar really look like LP features but it really is a genuine Ibanez. It has a 2-octave fretboard (with 24 frets) and a smooth neck and heel so that the shredders and metal players among us can easily reach the entire length of the fretboard.
Ibanez ARZIR27FB: features
Thanks to the mahogany body, this guitar produces a warm and deep sound in the basis. The top of the body is decorated with great-looking flamed bubinga wood. The edges of the body and the fretboard inlays have been adorned with abalone bindings. The body has a set-in neck. The fretboard is made of ebony which is a luxurious but also practical type of wood. It produces a tighter sound and makes fingering with the left hand go smoother. With its gold-coloured hardware, this Ibanez is a true eye-catcher.
EMG 707's
This instrument has exceptionally powerful pickups which were developed with great care, specifically for 7-string instruments. Occasionally, these pickups for 7-string guitars used to have a rather questionable balance and sound, but not these EMG 707's! These active pickups have the character of the best EMG pickups (60 and 81) and make sure that the extra range of the ARZIR27FBDBS really stands out. The TOM bridge and locking tuners keep everything stable and in tune. This guitar is a real shredding machine for metalheads that can appreciate classical looks.
