After 3,5 years of browsing and participating in a sevenstring forum, I finally got to actually acquire one. This RG7420 MC came up locally and I swapped an amp for it. After some rigorous testing I concluded that it has an awesome neck and a crazy sustain - even with the stock bridge & pickups. Very impressed by it.

Of course I proceeded to swap the bridge pickup (first) to an Evo, because you're supposed to do that, and the bridge to a Floyd Rose Original, because it's my go-to tremolo whenever possible. (Edge is fine too) It really is a drop-in replacement, but I matched the radius by shimming the saddles, and that took some thinking and planning. It all worked out though and the guitar now rivals anything you throw at it. Why didn't I do this years ago?


EDIT: I do need to check out the Blaze neck at some point though, and perhaps widen the anchor post holes to accommodate the floyd posts, but that's for later :)

Got this today. One of the new RG7420, with a pickup upgrade. Out with the stock pickups, in with a couple of DiMarzio's - PAF7 in the neck and Air Norton 7 in the bridge. Sounds terrific!

Gonna try with a pair of white strat knobs. The black dome knobs looks weird now with the white pickups.

Does anybody know how large of a string the stock Rg1527 turners can take without unwinding the strings or modding the tuning peg?

This should be the Ibanez 7620 appreciation thread lol...so many of them! :p

I finally got to gig with mine a couple of weeks ago and the first thing I thought when I hit the stage was :"Damn...Royal Blue looks so good on these lights" :lol:

First thing I did to it was get to DiMarzio Crunchlab and Liquifire love on it and a full setup :)

EDIT: I just realized I didn't put my baby here :)

Here she is: Ophelia (as I call it) my Ibby 7620
