NGD: FInally own a 7 string!

[Harry]

I am now the proud owner of an RG 7421

It's good to be joining the leagues of other good men with their Ibanez 7 strings

I shall get new strings on and post more pics tomorrow

A special thanks to SS.org forum member stubhead for selling me such a great guitar. I can hardly thank you enough dude, the guitar is in even better condition than I expected, very very well looked after for a guitar dating back to 1999

Scored.

 

[Elysian]

good score, the 7421 is still my favorite Ibanez i ever owned.

 

[Kagami]

[robotsatemygma]

Sweet guitar!

 

[Mattmc74]

Congrats! Nice score!

Welcome to the RG7421 owners club!

Nice man, I just picked up an RG7421 on ebay 2 days ago. I'm going to slap in either some green blazes, or a d-sonic/air norton combo

 

[Harry]

Thanks guys

I couldn't find anything bigger than a 46 for the low B string, so I got a 9-42 set, and slapped on the 46 on the low B and tuned everything up to C standard so that the low B wouldn't be too floppy
Actually, while it's tuned up one semi tone, the tension isn't too bad fortunately.
I'll slap on a 54 and tune it back down to B standard later this week though, but right now I'm having fun playing it in C standard

mmm sweet score man

 

[WhiteShadow]

Man i absolutely LOVE Ibanez RG7421's and RG7621's...superb guitars! I wish Ibanez would make more fixed bridge 6 and 7 strings (especially 7 strings). I also miss the RG7421XL's as well. Hell i miss the whole "XL" series altogether!

Nice buy man, play the shit outta that beast!

haha about time man, congratulations
if you don't mind me asking, how much did this set you back? (exchange rate is absolute killer at the moment) I almost bought that one off him but yeah, the exchange rate was and still is

All up, including shipping, I paid around 580 I think, although my mother helped out and payed about 60 dollars of it for me

Okay man, come clean, you're 16 aren't you?

 

[Harry]

^Dude, I made up most of the money for the guitar working actually
200 of it was bday money that I saved up, 60 bucks from mother to help pay it, the rest was work income.

Hey, I used to have one just like that... hey, I used to own one EXACTLY like that! I sold it to Harry cause it seemed like he really wanted it and was going to play the stuffing out of it. It's a seriously, seriously good guitar, but I also like to build guitars out of Warmoth and USA Custom wood and they start piling up pretty deep around here. After I built my Warmoth seven, my poor old RG was just sitting on a stand getting lonely, and I don't really "collect" guitars just to own them - good guitars need to be played. I got it for a pretty fair price & I figured, pass it on. You know the drill - practice eighteen hours a day, learn to read music & when you get rich & famous you can buy me a little castle next to your big castle & I'll tune yer guitars for you...
