Ibanez RGD721FA-WUF RGD Standard Electric Guitar, Stained Wine Red Burst Flat

The Ibanez RGD721FA is a purpose built seven string electric guitar designed for modern metal players who demand precision, clarity, and power in low tunings. As part of Ibanez’s RGD series, it is engineered specifically to handle the increased tension and tonal depth required for down tuned performance, delivering tight response and crushing low end without sacrificing speed or comfort.

To achieve this, the RGD721FA features an extended 26.5 inch scale length. Longer than standard yet still fast and familiar, it enhances string tension and articulation while retaining a neck profile that feels effortless for technical riffing and rapid soloing. Extra deep cutaways provide unrestricted access to the highest frets, making this guitar ideal for aggressive, modern playing styles.

Main Features

Wizard II-7 5 Piece Panga Panga and Walnut Neck

The Wizard II-7 neck is crafted from five pieces of Panga Panga and walnut, offering excellent stability, enhanced sustain, and a slim, fast feel optimised for seven string performance and extended range techniques.

Macassar Ebony Fretboard

The Macassar ebony fretboard delivers tight lows, focused mid range, and a strong, articulate high end. Its quick response and rich sustain ensure clarity and definition, even under high gain conditions.

Jumbo Frets

Jumbo frets provide smooth playability and make fast single note lines, bends, and technical passages feel effortless and precise.

Flamed Maple Top with Layered Ash and Okoume Body

The flamed maple top adds striking visual appeal, while the layered ash and okoume body construction delivers a pleasing brightness combined with rich sustain and depth.

DiMarzio Fusion Edge Pickups

Developed through close collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio, Fusion Edge pickups are voiced specifically for modern metal. They deliver a crisp, cutting high end and a tight, compressed low end, while avoiding muddy mid range frequencies for maximum articulation and control.

Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads

Gotoh MG-T locking tuners provide exceptional tuning stability and significantly reduce string changing time, making them ideal for both live and studio use.

Gibraltar Standard III Bridge

The Gibraltar Standard III bridge features a redesigned baseplate and saddles to enhance playing comfort while ensuring optimal string vibration transfer for improved sustain and tuning stability.

Coil Tap Switch

A coil tap switch expands tonal flexibility, allowing both pickups to deliver additional sound options beyond high output humbucker tones.

Luminescent Side Dots

Luminescent side dot markers ensure clear fretboard visibility on dark stages and in low light performance environments.

Built for Modern Metal Performance

With its extended scale length, fast seven string neck, and powerful electronics, the Ibanez RGD721FA is designed for players who require absolute clarity, stability, and responsiveness in low tunings. From crushing rhythm work to articulate lead playing, it delivers the authority and precision demanded by contemporary metal guitarists.
