Description
The Ibanez GRG7221QA is a highly playable 7 string electric built for modern players who want extra low end without losing comfort or control. Its sleek RG shape, fast neck and eye catching Transparent Black Sunburst finish make it an inspiring choice for rock, metal and progressive styles, and a smart step up for curious six string players moving into extended range. Whether you are riffing tight rhythms, exploring drop tunings or layering atmospheric cleans, this guitar delivers the range and feel to push your ideas further while keeping everything familiar under the hands.
Under the hood it blends reliable materials with thoughtful hardware to keep your focus on music rather than maintenance. A solid poplar body is topped with a quilted maple art grain veneer for premium looks, while the comfortable maple neck invites quick position shifts and accurate fretting. Ibanez Infinity R 7 humbuckers feed a five way switch for everything from thick, saturated drive to brighter split style textures, and the fixed bridge keeps tuning stable through aggressive picking. Compared with typical student level starters, you get a wider tonal palette, steadier tuning and a finish that looks and feels more refined.
For UK tuition and school use, the GRG7221QA is a practical choice that will stand up to weekly lessons, band rehearsals and regular practice. The fixed bridge simplifies string changes and setup, the 25.5 inch scale keeps tension comfortable for standard and lower tunings, and 24 jumbo frets give clear visual markers for learning scales and positions. It offers excellent value for developing players who want a first 7 string that will not need immediate upgrading, and it slots neatly into practice routines, GCSE or BTEC performance work, and college ensembles where modern rock and metal repertoire is on the agenda.
