Can anyone ID this Ibanez 7 string?

[Upgrayedd]

I was browsing local ads and saw this pop up. I've never seen this but I'm sure somebody here has an idea what this is and what it may be worth.

Thanks!

GIO refinished.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Thank you for the quick reply!

 

[Heavy_Arms]

Agreed, definitely a gio. Honestly not a horrible sounding guitar seeing as you can get them for $100 all day.

GRX720 (I think that's the model name).

Not a single good feature on it. One could argue a comfortable neck though.

Not a single good feature on it.

I wouldn't exactly say that. It's a GREAT base for modding, especially if you're looking to make something Strat-like.

These weren't exactly made too poorly, not great, but they usually weren't shit, they just had crappy hardware, nuts, and electronics. Nothing a couple hundred bucks can't fix up.

The fretwork wasn't that great. The neck profile on it was pretty comfortable though. I just didn't like the feel of needles poking my left hand everytime I played it. Also, the high e string for me always tended to get caught underneath the fret ends. I hated the way the bridge pickup sounded, all muddy and un-eq-able. The nut was not that well cut, the low strings always sat a mile high off of the nut, which was made of cheap plastic. I was happier than a witch in a broom factory when I bought my used RG7321 with a Duncan Distortion/Jazz combo.

Haha yep. But for sure, like Max said, it's a great modding guitar if you enjoy that type of thing. Back when I had my grx720, I didn't know how to cut a good nut, or fret dressing or how to do a proper setup, so I wasn't too fond of it.

Only reason I never bought one is bc I wanted the extra 2 frets...

Yeah, one of the few 22-fret vintage-trem options that was ever produced for a 7-string. I think there may have been a Squier HSS strat 7 that was also discontinued and there was the Agile Sentinel-7 - also discontinued I don't think there are any currently produced options except maybe some no-name ebay stuff.

I thought Kurt had said more Sentinels and Texans were inbound for Spring 2013?

Those squiers were awesome. One of the guys in the HS band my friends and I cobbled together for our senior talent show had one. Pretty sweet axe.

I need that 7 string strat from Agile... On a strat I'm not too terribly worried about getting 24 frets... Mainly bc it's pretty rare as far as I've seen.

Not sure, I don't really follow Agile stuff that closely. I just know that they have not been in stock for a long time.
