The RG7620 Thread

[Ibz777]

I might have a BK coming, mint condition with mirrored pickguard and nazgul/sentient combo, anyone tried them in their 7620?

What do you want to see?

New '7620 for me today boys:

'99 Ibanez RG7620GN.
Fresh off eBay, ready for a setup, cleaning, pickup swap, then immediately tuned to Drop G and thrown into recording for this weekends studio sessions! Stoked.
All original parts included.. has a few cosmetics here and there but I accepted these factors in the first place!


Will post pics of both my 7620's together after their trip to my tech this week.

Here you go!
The Gray RG7620 has a dot neck on it now.
The GMC is not done yet, still needs a Green Vine!

Just ordered a 7620 from my nearest guitar center. Pretty excited as this will be my first 7 string. Had them send a pic first to make sure it is in fact a 7620 and it seems to be in good condition. I'm cool with doing my own setup and paint condition won't be a problem as it will receive a repaint, probably a swirl. Will post a NGD thread when it arrives next week!

Hey guys, this thread is great, dont let it die!
The pickguard on that rg7620 looks great, my I ask were you got it?
All the ones on ebay look cheap. (has "ears" so that you direct mount the pickups in the body instead of the guard and the opening for the pickup switch is to big)

Any recomendations on pickguards would be appriciated!


I am a happy owner of two rg7620, both in BK.
I love the rg7620 so much.
Sadly somebody modded one of mine with an EMG in the bridge.
I actually kind of like the emg sound, but to me an ibanez 7string just looks totally wrong with a emg pickups. Like slamming a humbucker in a beutiful old vintage stratocaster. Just BADONG! (bad and wrong!)

Hence, I am considering hiding that emg routing cavity with a nice pickguard. Actually a one humbucker, one volume pot only pickguard is what I am looking for.
There are some one ebay, but I want a classic 3ply white or black one. The ebay ones all have flashy wierd colors.

I have been researching the rg7620 o the forum and I am wondering about the limited run colors it was available in. Apart from the ones mentioned in the wiki about rg7620, there was also cayman green and iron pewter. In this thread: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/sevenstring-guitars/58033-rg7620-grey-nickel-skunk-stripe-egay.html
another third color is mentioned, but not specified. Does anybody what color the third limited one was?

I just picked one of these up. Been playing 7-strings for over 10 years and have owned some pretty fancy stuff but never one of these before (though I've had a thrashed 7621 for a while).

I have to say the 7620 is killer. Ive been finding that the necks on my more recent Ibanez guitars feel wider than I'd like, but the 65mm 7620 neck feels great.

Quick pic just to show that you can still find these in great shape:

My old RG7620 galaxy black, made in 2001 so it had the reinforcement stripe in the neck.
I always prefer the "striped" version of Ibanez necks, either 6 or 7 strings. In my hand they always feel a little thinner - which may be true, in fact the more stable construction allows to remove more mass.

Anyway, who cares. We're all here for the pr0n:

Beautiful guitar!

 

[DiezelMonster]

This WAS a 7620, only the hardware is left!

 

[Albi]

Beautiful guitar!

Thanks. It also played like a dream

 

[Fierce_Swe]

Are RG7421´s welcome here?
I like the fixed bridge and the neck is very comfortable (it's a 7620 neck)
Pickups are replaced with DiMarzio Illuminators and they sound killer!

First day of playing and I love the neck! it feels like a 6 string....

I got one question about my Grey Nickel:
mine it's without the cap of the 5way switch, the original one is grey? or black?
if is grey where I can buy the original part?
thanx !

I have a RG7620 that I purchased new in November 1997. It has been stored most of the time since then and is in amazing condition. It needs some adjustments on the floyd of course, but everything else is stock and in great shape. Is there still any interest in these guitars? There are a few on ebay here and there, but they always seem newer than mine. I know it was difficult to track it down when I bought it. I'm pretty sure I paid around $1200 for it back then.

I picked up an RG7620VK a few months back and just had Lundgren M7's installed. I also got it wired like the JS models. 3 way switch, push/pull volume and tone knobs.
The middle position pulled sounds fantastic for cleans. I haven't even had a chance to run it through my Dual Rec yet (in a few weeks).
The pickup cavity was routed a little bit just so they'd fit. It was probably the first time the frets had been polished in the 16 years of its life too.
