Cosmo black is kind of halfway between regular chrome and black chrome.

We need more red 7 strings.
Can someone please tell me why Ibanez didn't include this finish in 7 stings for 2013?
I would buy it in a second!
Yup, throw on a 7th string and a trem and I'd pretty much have to. I usually don't like fauxbalone binding like that, but they've made it look pretty classy there.

I can't get over how good that prestige S 7 string looks
and it plays even better than it looks
Damn! Wished it had the black hardware like the rg7420... guess I can swap at some point.. same term

OMFG This.I need it ! It looks a lot like all the customs we see around (Blackmachine & co)
Put a pair of BKP in it and it's a killer !
The Iron Label RG7s we got in are all pure black. The Iron Label S7 we got is a cool metallic blackened pewter finish, looks great in person. Will post pics shortly if people wanna see.

Please do because I've been eyeing that guitar pretty hard.
I snapped a cell phone pic of it earlier and uploaded it here, its pic #2 obviously: Ibanez SIR27FD-IPT Iron Label 7-String electric guitar w/ DiMarzio pickups | The Axe Palace
mod edit: don't link directly to pages selling products... if you want to link directly to images you snapped that's fine

Yeah the 7 string Iron Label is straight up black, with white running around the inside edge. It's very sexy, I just got mine in yesterday. Of course it came not set up, with major fret buzz that I gotta take care of, but even still it sounds great so far.
If by 'high quality' you mean dark, then yes. I'm pretty sure inanely simply stains the fretboard black since rosewood simply isn't that dark by itself in nature.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Actually, many manufacturers dye their rosewood fretboards black/darker. It simply looks so much better than brown on most guitars.
The highest quality fretboard I've seen on an ibanez is the one on my rg3120, though.

If only the S5427 had a fixed bridge...Never been a huge Ibanez fan but the newer models are really starting to grow on me. I have an ESP NT-7 on the way, but i'm already debating selling it to try one of these out...

Damn you people with dark / dyed rosewood boards. The only thing that really bugs me with my RGD2127z is that not so dark fretboard. It's pretty dark yes, but there are brownish streaks that actually bother me. And no, it's not beautiful figuring.
I need to take time to find a good stain here in Japan. They don't sell those fiebing's leather dye stuff here.

I use this :
Granted, it doesn't make your fretboard black, but it does darken and bring out the rosewood grain very well. Rosewood can be very pretty even when it's not dark

Fuckin' amen. I'd BKP the fuck out of it
by any chance are you going to post real pictures of the RGIR27E on your website?
I suppose I could, but having inspected the shipment it looks identical to the pics. If you want actual pics of it email me or pm and ill get it to you Monday.
