IBANEZ Prestige RG752FMMSF-DPB Dark Purple Doom Burst
7-string electric guitar with curly maple top, bird's-eye maple fingerboard and DiMarzio pickups, including case
With the Ibanez Prestige RG752FMMSF-DPB Dark Purple Doom Burst, the Japanese guitar manufacturer presents a 7-string electric guitar that convinces with its versatile sound between rock and metal, outstanding playing comfort and chic appearance. Two DiMarzio PAF 7 humbuckers on the amplifier provide tight, transparent sounds, while the body carries a chic curly maple top and the fingerboard is made of bird's-eye maple.
The Ibanez Prestige RG752FMMSF-DPB Dark Purple Doom Burst convinces with first-class sounds, a high playing comfort and elegant looks.
The Ibanez All Access Neck Joint allows unhindered playability over the entire neck.
Stylish woods and outstanding playability
When designing the Ibanez Prestige RG752FMMSF-DPB Dark Purple Doom Burst, Ibanez pays particular attention to outstanding playability and a powerful basic sound that also precisely integrates the low B-string. Accordingly, the body is made of mahogany with an intensively drawn curly maple top, while the screwed neck is made of maple with two locking strips of particularly hard wenge. The slim "Wizard-7" profile together with the flat bird's-eye maple fingerboard on the electric guitar offers the perfect race track for fast riffs and virtuoso solos.
Two DiMarzio PAF 7 humbuckers promise tight rock and metal sounds.
DiMarzio pickups for differentiated sound diversity
The Ibanez RG752FMMSF uses two DiMarzio PAF 7 humbuckers with moderate output and ceramic magnets for a wide range of sounds between modern rock and metal. Thus, both pickups convince with a tight sound image that precisely represents every note with well-defined bass, high presence in the mid-range and silky highs, both in the clean channel and in brute distortion. The low B-string with its lively dynamics and balanced tone development is also integrated into the sound. The 5-way blade switch, which can be used to activate the humbuckers or their coils in various combinations, also provides additional sound diversity.
Gotoh MG-T locking mechanisms guarantee an exact tuning.
Gibraltar Bridge and Locking Tuner
High quality hardware completes the Ibanez RG 752, so the strings are held on the body by the proven Ibanez Gibraltar Standard II-7 bridge, which guarantees a perfect adjustment of intonation and string position. The smooth surfaces of the hand offer a pleasant contact surface. From there the strings are guided over a scale length of 25.5" (648 mm) towards the headstock, where they are held by precise Gotoh MG-T locking mechanisms.

Ibanez Prestige RG752FMMSF-DPB Dark Purple Doom Burst
I bought this guitar after talking to the staff of Music Store. I was searching for a quality instrument and it was my first seven string. After getting all the info I needed i did a leap of faith and bought it without even seeing from close before it came to my house by mail. Its craftmanship is impecable, not even one blemish. Nothing at all, Ibanez should be proud of their Prestige Line quality control. Sound wise I feared of being a only trick metal pony. I couldnt have been more wrong, the guitar is very versatile and can go from clean straty tones to modern gain. The pickups are great but wont do extreme metal (which is fine by me) but if you have a modern heavy amp or pedals it can go there easily. Its looks are great. Looks for a more expensive instrument if you ask me and it can look differently based from the light angle (from deep blue to light green). It comes with a sturdy Ibanez case and an Ibanez setup multitool. All in all a great instrument, it can stand next to my other guitars with grace. A perfect guitar for rock/progressive/fusion tones with out beeing a metal-only axe. Its kinda pricey but its totaly worth it.
