With the Ibanez Iron Label XPTB720-BKF Black Flat, the aggressive Xiphos design returns as a 7-string electric guitar in the Iron Label series, which is extremely popular with metalheads. Named after a short sword from ancient Greece, the seven-string electric guitar combines razor-sharp tones with extremely agile playing characteristics. A powerful shredder, the Iron Label XPTB720 also features an Edge-Zero II double-locking tremolo.
This aggressively styled 7-string electric guitar uses an intricate neck-through construction for crisp tones and agile playing characteristics. Thanks to the smooth transition to the okoumé body wings, the full-length maple-walnut neck can be easily played all the way up to the highest positions of the ebony fingerboard. The extremely flat Wizard II-7 neck profile creates conditions for riffing and soling at the speed of light.
As pickups Ibanez chooses two D Activator 7 humbuckers from the New York company DiMarzio. The passive pickups convince with the extremely tight and transparent sound of active pickups without having their disadvantages. At the guitar amp, the Ibanez XPTB720 accordingly delivers cleanly defined sounds even at down-tunings and high gain settings for whipping riffs and intricate endless solos even on the B-string. The pickups are controlled straightforwardly via a 3-way switch and general volume and tone controls.
An unadulterated metal axe, the Iron Label Xiphos XPTB720 features an Ibanez Edge-Zero II-7 tremolo. Thanks to the smooth handling and the double-locking construction, the system invites you to unrestrained whammy-bar acrobatics with dive-bombs and squeals without the electric guitar going out of tune. Gotoh tuners on the reversed headstock ensure that the Iron Label XPTB720-BKF Black Flat electric guitar from Ibanez is tuned with absolute precision.
