Baritone 7 String Ibanez RG?

[Bobo]

I read a few posts about a guitar that was apparently only a Japanese model - RG7EXFX or RG7EXFX2.

Now a few months ago I bought a guitar I love....an Ibanez RGT6EXFX. This 27" baritone 7 string version seemed very familiar, except for the bonus of 7 strings and baritone. Anyone know if they even make these things anymore? Can't seem to find much on them....anyone wanna shed some light?

I was looking at the ESP 27" MHB400. Although 6 string, I think it would be similar to the Ibanez with EMG's, thin neck (or so I've heard), hardtail, and lower tunings. Says it has extra jumbo frets....even easier to play than jumbos I guess? And it's mahogany vs basewood in the Ibby....so it should sound a little "brighter", right?

Thanks

You'll never have problems with note definition or not cutting through with a maple ax.

AFAIK they're still in production, Ikebe-Gakki has two in stock:

They're Japanese market only. Naren has one and posted a review of it. There's also a thread about ordering from Ikebe-Gakki in the vendors section.

You could get an Agile Interceptor Pro 27.

Hell of a lot cheaper.
