The Ibanez RG721MSM Premium Electric Guitar is a high-performance model, especially designed for Metal guitarists. Equipped with a set of CAP-VM pickups, players can achieve a high output that will cut through any mix. The RG721MSM features a distinctive appearance with its combination of exotic tonewoods including an American basswood body, spalted maple top and a Birdseye maple fingerboard. For added comfort, a Wizard neck profile is also included which accommodates fast styles. Additional features include the Tight-end R bridge, angled headstock, premium fret edge treatment and many more. This stunning guitar will stand out on any stage, with its eye-catching aesthetics and powerful tone.Smooth Neck ProfileThe Ibanez RG721MSM is equipped with a 5-piece neck made up maple and walnut. This combination of tonewoods provides iron-like strength for enhanced neck stability and a longer sustain, that will not warp over time. The use of Ibanez's own Wizard neck profile makes the RG721MSM extremely playable and optimised for lead guitarists. The nature of this thinner neck helps to perform swift and nimble guitar runs seamlessly whilst retaining enough substance to ensure a thick and full resonance when playing rhythm patterns and chords, for a smooth performance. A Birdseye maple fingerboard is also included, mounted with jumbo frets. For added playability, each fret is finished with Ibanez's prestige fret edge treatment, specially rounded for a smooth play and a comfortable neck.Angled HeadstockLike many guitars from Ibanez, the RG721MSM features an angled headstock, which not only provides a stylish appearance, but also offers better string pressure. By increasing the string pressure on the strings, it helps them stay in the nut slots, and decreases loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners for better sustain and smooth playability.CAP-VM PickupsUnlike other guitars from Ibanez that feature DiMarzio electronics, many models in the Premium lineup are equipped with CAP-VM pickups. This choice of pickups are designed using oxygen-free copper wire, that is specifically designed to offer a high output. Achieving the perfect sound is easy with the 5-position blade, and control options for Volume and Tone.Tight-End R BridgeThe Tight-End R Bridge was designed specifically for the RG flat top and delivers playability and rock-solid stability. Each saddle is securely locked onto the base plate, and maximises the string vibrations transmitted to the body for the ultimate sound.About IbanezOver the past 30 years, Ibanez Guitars have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for Electric Guitar players pushing the boundaries of music.
