Ibanez RG7-baritones HELP!

[Bobo]

Anyone have a round about price of getting one of those Japanese RG7's to the US? Sure do look sweet....not that I need to buy another guitar after just getting an ESP baritone last Friday

I'm 99.99% sure they are mistakes. What caused me to wonder was the old site had the guitar listed as RG7EXFX2 and I have never noticed it being described as a neck through before so this would be a new mistake that does not make a lot of sense, as for the scale the Ibanez site has always listed that incorrectly so I'd expect that mistake to be carried over onto the new site.

What I don't understand is why is there a new mistake and why did they change the name of the listing, I agree that from the front it looks the same and I checked other listings of the RG7EF2 before my first post and they all have pics of the RG7EXFX2 so common sense seems to indicate they are all mistakes.

How long has the name RG7EF2 been used? Is it something that has started recently? If it is recent then my 0.01% suspicion that a new neck through model might be on the horizon stands, if it is a description that has been used for some time and Ibanez have adopted it on their website then obviously it is a mistake.

Well, as for the neckthrough thing, I was just gonna say "That's a mistake too. I mean, look! They can't even get the name right!"

Why do I know RG7EF2 is not an Ibanez that is in existence? Because there is no RG7EF. You can't make an RG7EF2 without there being an RG7EF. The RG7EXFX came out several months before the RG7EXFX2. The "2" was just a slight variation on the original (I prefer the color of the RG7EXFX2 over the original).

I have no idea why all info about the RG7EXFX and RG7EXFX2 on Ibanez's sites are wrong. And sometimes the wrong information changes to different wrong information. I see this happen every few months now.

It just does not make sense for Ibanez to list a guitar as RG7EF2 on their site when the guitar will have RG7EXFX2 on the headstock but then I own a RG7EXFX2 that has RG7EXFX on the headstock so I don't know.

It also doesn't make sense to list a 27" bolt on guitar as a 25.5" neck through and show a picture of a 27" bolt on. It doesn't make sense to call something an RG7EF2 when there is no such thing as an RG7EF1.

That's weird about your guitar. Are you sure it's not an RG7EXFX? The only difference is the body color (EXFX = black, EXFX2 = iron pewter/black-green) and the woods the neck is made out of.

Maybe it's a really rare mistake. I have the RG7EXFX2 and it says RG7EXFX2 on the headstock.

Yep I'm sure, mine is iron pewter with 707's, definitely an RG7EXFX2. Inspection date is 07/07/06 so it's an early one, maybe that has something to do with it.

I bought mine before that date, so I doubt that has anything to do with it. Maybe they just made a mistake. Not sure how that'd happen. You're the first person I've ever heard of who had a mislabeled guitar.

Actually the RG7EXFX and RG7EXFX2 both come with 707s. But the iron pewter would mean you have the EXFX2.

From what I have read here it's not that uncommon with Ibanez.
