Color: Metallic Light Blue
This review is for Ibanez GRG 7 String Solid-Body Electric Guitar Metallic Light Blue (GRG7221MMLB) Background: This is the 13th guitar in my collection. I bought it to see for myself what quality can be expected at this price and to compare against my Schecter Apocalypse 7-string ($1500, right in first photo), and my Ibanez 6-string electric (a 30yr old 540SLTD, left in first photo)--both before and after an upgrade of the pickups. I had $200 in Amazon gift cards to help buy the guitar and another $200 in purchase points to pay for the new pickups. Total cost including tax: $90.00. Why this model: I chose this particular guitar for my experiment due to the metallic blue and the fact that it is an Ibanez. If you purchase a 'less expensive' guitar like this, choose a brand like Ibanez, Fender, or other reputable brand since they set excellent standards for the materials and build quality for the price regardless of where the instrument is manufactured. Quality: In terms of materials and build, this guitar was no disappointment. I carefully examined the whole instrument and found no blemishes. The frets were finished with no rough edges and the guitar had a solid feel. I sighted down the neck (from the body end) and it was laser-straight. I played every string in every fret and found perfect tone with no buzzing. The switch and knobs feel firm and emit no static when using them with the amp connected. The 'gotoh' tuners insure that the guitar will hold its tune when the strings are installed properly. Playability: The string action is as low as it gets and this is a truly easy-to-play 7-string requiring minimal finger pressure. Even with 7 strings, the neck is narrow enough for my medium size hands. In these respects it stands head-to-head with all my other guitars. The more I have used it the more I enjoy it. Sound quailty. With the original pickups, it sounded fine unless I compared it with the other two guitars. Then it was evident that it sounded thinner than the others. I realized I needed to set it up first. So I adjusted the bridge to 'intonate' the guitar (look up 'guitar intonation' on youtube). I also realized that the pickups had not been set close enough to the strings from the factory (see DiMarzio.com "How high should I adjust my pickups for the best sound?"). Once I made the proper height adjustment it sounded somewhat better. The experiment: I doubt the various claims made by guitar manufacturers that the woods used in an electric guitar make much difference in the guitar's tone. (I could be wrong, but...), so after evaluating the original sound, I upgraded the pickups to: A DiMarzio DiMarzio DP707 LiquiFire 7-String for the Neck and a DiMarzio DP708 Crunch Lab 7-String for the bridge. (No special reasons for getting these, but I wanted DiMarzios since I already have Seymour Duncans on my American Fender Strat.) I dialed in the height adjustment and wow! What a difference! At this point the question of which guitar sounds better is a matter of 'taste' rather than a matter of 'fact'. The guitar is certainly comparable to the others in tone quality at this point. I would say that is is definitely better for 'metal' than the other Ibanez. The latter is a more 'lyrical' guitar. Moral of the story: So my message is that a guitar like this can grow with you! The purchase price of the guitar and the pickups is $450, a very low price for a great sounding guitar, and you don't have to make the upgrade immediately since the original pickups sound fine out of the box. Just adjust the pickup heights (details on youtube) and learn how to adjust the intonation. This is easy if you have a descent guitar tuner. These are one-time jobs you can optionally pay a professional to do. BTW: I could have used other nice pickup sets such as Seymour Duncan so if you do your research (compare sounds in a music store) you can dial this guitar to your tastes. Saving money: Bundles vs cords and picks: I hate guitar and amplifier 'bundle' packages. They add $30 or so to the base price for some picks and a guitar cord. Its easy to get these yourself for less on Amazon, and end up with better quality (see, "Sovvid Professional Instrument Cable", for example). Amazon sells packs of Fender and Dunlop picks for ~$5 or less. Cases: You can get an Ibanez case on Amazon if you want but you can get an excellent Gator case on Amazon for a lot less. For example the Gator GC-ELECTRIC-A fits my Schecter and the second photo shows that it fits this guitar as well. The case very nice and is more than $70 cheaper than an official Ibanez case. Metronome and Guitar tuner: A must have. Clip on tuners are nice. Snark and Fender, among others have inexpensive (~$15-$20) QUALITY tuners. Get one with a 4.5+ rating so your tuned guitar will sound like one. Some of the amps mentioned below have tuners. FYI: Some tuners include a metronome. Isn't it FUN to shop Amazon?! Examples of amplifiers: Fender offers a lot of choices, just pick your price-point. More $$ equals more/better features. Note that even a 20 watt amp can get LOUD. Examples of budget-friendly, bang-for-buck Fender amps: 1) Fender Frontman 10G Guitar Amplifier, 10 watts, 8.5lbs, minimal but adequate for beginners/kids 2) Fender Frontman 20 or 20G Amp. Similar weight, 20 watts. The '20' has a few 'effects', the 20G just has gain for a more 'pure' or 'classic' sound. The '20' and the amps below can eliminate the need to purchase separate effects pedals at least for the beginner. The Champion 40 and 50XL are similar with more power and larger speaker. 3) Fender Mustang LT25 and LT50 have a small screen allowing dialing for selecting and editing effects. They feature ALOT of effects and so a BIG bang for the buck. 4) Fender GX and GTX series: You can find the GTX50 etc. on Amazon. These have advanced connectivity like bluetooth, WiFi, and an app for amp interaction. Presets (200 of them) can be arranged into convenient 'preset-lists' you can call up when gigging. My Fender Rumble Studio 40 Bass Amplifier has similar features and I still have yet to explore them all. Either the LT or GTX amps could be the only amp you ever need. Look at features, size, weight, and cost of any amp when comparing. Features cost money, but can offset the need to buy them separately later. Good luck with your Amazon musical purchases!

So, I'm still a beginner myself. A little over a year of guitar practice with some lessons and a lot of self-teaching. Firstly, I just want to say this guitar ROCKS! The additional low B string (if tuned to standard) grants additional scales, but the coolest element IMO probably being the heavy chords you can get out of it. It also has a nice kind of "bassy-ness" to it, so if you get a really clean tone with it you can get really creative with the 7th string (such as palm muting for cool effect). I use this with a Fender Mustang LT-25 and it's really fun to play/practice with. I mainly use it to play KoRn songs. Outside of the benefits, though, if you are just starting out on guitar, I would probably at least get done with the basics (common chord shapes, scales, some songs, how to read tabs decently, rythm and timing, and basic techniques) down on a 6 string first. The only reason I say this is because 90% of the material out there for guitar is designed for 6 strings (chord charts, scales, etc). However, I have a couple of personal tips to help with adjusting: 1. While there isn't technically a "proper" way to wear a guitar strap, I'd recommend you try to adjust it so the guitar is at roughly the same area when sitting down with it on your lap. Because the neck is wider, you will have to get used to having a bit more extension of your wrist to make the chord shapes. I find this is more ergonomic when the guitar is closer to my rib cage when standing rather than lower to the floor. But I encourage you to use whatever is most comfortable. 2. If you have a scale downloaded to your PC, you can easily convert many 6 string scales to 7 string. If you're decent with MS paint/image editing software, all you need to do is take a 6 string scale diagram and copy-paste the high B string under the low E string to get the notes for the low B string, as the low and high B string share the same notes. 3. I'd recommend having this restrung/setup out of the box. Make sure the action is low and consider getting thicker or thinner strings (thicker is better if you're going to tune down, but thinner might be easier on your finger tips). Although this guitar for me (and many others) came out pretty well out of the box. 4. Finally, if you're going to commit to using this guitar, I would get in the habit early on of working on your strumming/picking accuracy, as you will want to try and avoid hitting the low B string when playing your normal 6-string chords (unless you're doing it on purpose, such as for a chord inversion). Other than that, this is a solid guitar for a da*n good price!

Thrilled to receive this item not only in perfect condition but ahead of schedule. 🤘 I have never bought a guitar online but decided to take a chance bc this 7 string priced at $250 is an absolute steal. Perfect for a beginner/intermediate level player who plays as a hobby. However, this guitar is gig worthy and looks fantastic. IMO Ibanez has cornered the market with reasonably priced guitars of quality. My first 6 string RG bought 30 years ago which I still play today with mods of course. Taken care of, these guitars last. Back the the review… Def apprehensive bc it is not sold with a case for protection. However, package received, the guitar is packed well and wrapped. Total plus. I may buy a mid grade case in a few weeks. Perfect condition not one ding or dent. Paint job. Perfect, smooth and polished. All frets are filed. No sharp edges. Intonation and tuning perfect to BEADGBE no buzz. Tuning keys no give. Perfectly smooth when turned. The pickups are actually ok for stock. Fine for out of the box but I am confident this guitar can be upgraded down the line as I hotrodded my first Ibanez with Seymour Duncan’s way back when with ease. I decided to tune down to ADGCFAD. I like low and melodic notes and tones. Surprisingly not as much buzz as I thought I was going to get. With a slight trus adjustment can be worked out. I highly reco this guitar. I like the GIO series for the money. I own guitars with Floyd Rose. If I feel like it, I will consider the UNIVERSE series. I must say I am thrilled to have this guitar that can be tuned quickly without the fuss of a trem system. A huge reason why this guitar has many many 4.5-5 star reviews and the stock is low. I was waiting for a while and finally was able to get one. One of my better Amazon purchases. Play on 🤘

This guitar is not the most pristine, perfectly assembled, lowest action, 'dream' guitar. BUT - it IS the best 7-string electric you can buy for $199.00. It shipped quickly, arrived on time and in good condition. It is a very light guitar, very comfortable. The action out of the box could use a little tweaking, but it is definitely playable as-is. The intonation is very close to perfect, much better than many other guitars at this price point. The electronics are adequate: they do their job very well, especially the pickups. They sound great clean, but even better distorted. If anyone thinks these pickups "aren't good enough" then they shouldn't be buying a base-level guitar. Or, they should just spend the extra money on a more expensive model. For MY $200 bucks? This guitar is all I had hoped for. The finish looks great (Electric Light Blue); the fretboard is very nicely done (maple over maple neck); the frets feel fine, not perfect, but again perfectly adequate. If you are looking to take that first step into the 7-string world, this is the guitar to get. I am continually impressed with Ibanez's ability to make a quality product even at the entry point of their instruments. Well done.

Very nice 7-string guitar for the money. It plays and sounds really good. The neck is a little thicker than more expensive Ibanez versions, but it is a great guitar. The frets are not sharp or anything like other cheaper guitars in the similar price range. I bought for my son as a beginner 7-string and am very pleased. If you are a seasoned guitar player you may want the RG instead, but definitely worth the price.

Easily the best electric 7-string I could find under $600. Playability - 9/10 - Good neck and frets. Very playable. Weight - 9/10 - Light enough for extended playing. Durability - 8/10 - Solid construction. The tuners, pick-up switch, and dials are of decent quality and fairly sturdy. Set-up - 10/10 - Came from the factory well-intonated and with the strings at just the right height over the fretboard. Pick-ups - 7/10 - Not the greatest, but not terrible. Especially for this price. Overall in general - 8/10 Overall for the price - 9.5/10

This is a guitar meant for extended scale shredding - sweeping legato technique. The neck is obviously wider since it has 7 strings, and some people with lil' smokey's for fingers need to practice the technique until the hand stretches and it becomes natural. Make sure to properly stretch your fret fingers & hand before workouts and stop if it starts hurting. Not a beginners guitar. Set up out of the box was really good, as the intonation was just about spot on. The string height was also set to a comfortable level. The overall guitar finish and appearance was really quite good. The guitar is actually comfortable to wear once your strap length is set. The guitar felt light to me, when compared to my RG. All the controls function properly and provide a clean signal without any noise during the adjustment sweeps. The tuning machines are sealed precision tuners, Ibanez brand - which are quite good and stay in tune.
