Hi guys, here's my new 99' RG7620M. In the nearest future i want to install Painkiller/Cold Sweat pickups and something like natural crimson red finish.

Dude, how rare are the RG7620Ms ?! I know there are only like, 17 or 18 RG7680s, so I feel like the RG7620Ms (the ones that came from the Ibanez Factory with mahogany bodies and weren't modded later, at least) were also made lower in numbers.

I don't know exactly, they were made in limited edition for several Japanese stores, maybe like other limited series - 50-100 guitars, maybe more. Over the past few years I have seen only 3 guitars in CIS

Yea, I imagined it was only in the 50-100 range. Sick find in that regard, hope it serves you well!

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.

Though I have a UV7 now, I still bang my head now and then for letting this one go. I like white guitars!

Recently purchased a UV70P after having had serious GAS for it quite some time. It is a beautiful guitar (I think) and plays like a dream. Pictured on its own and together with its cousin the JEM505 (which is also a wonderful guitar).

The UV70P came to me with a slight neck alignment problem but it was fixed without hesitation by the Swedish country rep Crafton (thanks Magnus!).

Now I just need to practise some more...

ust got a used RG7321 in the used section of guitar center for 150 bucks shipped to my door. first time seven and my first ibanez. really loving the neck. the only thing that screams used to me is a crack in the binding near the first fret. other than that it's a great guitar. within an hour of owning however i went out and bought some strat knobs. i think it looks cleaner and it's more functional than dome knobs in my opinion. just really needs a pickup swap. i'm not too sure yet but i was thinking about going the active route this time around. never tried actives.

Just wondering how the Ibanez Prestige 7 necks feel? are they pretty similar to the 6 string prestige's?

I'm thinking about trading my 6 for a 7

Depends on the model honestly.

What is the 6 you have and the 7 you want to trade too?

I've got an RG2550, I thought most Ibanez 7's had the same neck shape or am I wrong?

I'd go for any really, RG, RGD, S. I can't give much detail on what i want as I'm not really an ibanez guy haha. I got mine on a trade and its just really comfortable to play.

I would really recommend the RGD! Love the body shape and the extra inch really helps in lower tunings. If thats not really your style, I can't recommend the 752FX enough! I love my 652 and the necks of the 752 are a bit thinner than the RGD (I believe) but the 752 uses a 25.5 scale as opposed to the RGDs 26.5 extended scale.

Thanks, I'm on the fence about the RGD, I only really stay in standard on 7's so 25.5 is fine but I do pick fairly hard and don't like floppy strings.

The 752 looks really nice, I do need a floyd but i've seen they do one with the Edge so thats great.

I wouldn't hesitate at all with the RGD! I love mine. I have been thinking of selling it soon, but thats just because the GAS is ever present. But I do believe its the nicests guitar I've played and I have played quite a few higher end guitars.
