NGD: Ibanez RG7621 (Finally!)

[Dooky]

I have wanted one of these for so long. These are quite hard to find where I live. A couple have been up for sale, but were in very poor condition.
This one is still in a well played condition; with a few minor chips and scratches, but apart from that it's pretty good.
It has a set of Bare Knuckle Nailbomb pickups in the neck and bridge. Hipshot tuners and Hipshot bridge (although I have never seen a Hipshot bridge like this one before, but it's still a very nice bridge).

My dog, Brunhilde approves

Nice one mate! What separates this model from the 7321 or 7421?

Nice workhorse, black, simple but reliable - really like the flavour of green pickups! Looks like it is in a good condition! Congratulations!

Nice! I've got a similar bridge on my 7421xl, though mine is the stock baseplate that I added Hipshot saddles to. Congrats and HNGD!

Cheers dude!
The RG7621 is very similar to the RG7421, both made in Japan and have the same necks. However, the RG7621 had better hardware (bridge mainly) and pickups. The RG7321 was made in Indonesia, had a completely different neck and cheaper hardware & pickups.


I put a sticker on the back of each of my guitars. This one seemed the best fit for this guitar.

Nice one man, always awesome when you finally reach your guitar goals! Looks like it's in good condition. Nice dog too!

Congrats man.
There was a group buy thing on SS.org, quite a few years ago now, with Hipshot bridges that were made specifically to replace the bridge on the RG7421/RG7621s, so that would be the most likely explanation of the bridge on your guitar.
I have one of those bridges on my RG7421 too, a good quality improvement over the original el cheapo stock bridge.

Ahh, sounds like this could be were the bridge came from. It's a really nice bridge, just couldn't find much info about it in the half-assed search I did.

Cheers dude! I've wanted one for about 15 years, just ended up buying other guitars and never really finding the right RG7621. So stoked to final have one.

If anyone is looking to upgrade their MIJ RG7X21 bridge with the direct replacement hipshot, just contact them/Jason and reference the group buy thread on here. Should be around $100 for the baseplate/saddles.

If dog approves, who am I to say otherwise?
Great guitar. I've had an RG7620 and an RG7420 and both were great guitars
