For Sale: RG7CST - Ibanez 7 string with Piezo bridge

Description
The RG7CST is a top-of-the-line Ibanez J-Custom guitar of which only about 24 were ever produced. This beast features a mahogany back and a flamed maple top, two Dimarzio humbuckers and the "Holy Grail" 7-string Double Edge Piezo Tremolo system. The UV shaped neck is constructed of a three piece maple laminate with an ebony fretboard and extra hard jumbo frets. Needless to say, this guitar sounds amazing.

Condition
This guitar is in excellent condition. The flame top and hardware are near mint condition and the neck and fretboard have very little wear. The bridge is basically mint.

Take a look at the photos, as this has one of the best book-matched flames I've seen. The mid-point between the two flame halves is almost invisible and seamless, making the top look like one solid sheet of perfect maple.

While the back has a few dings (all visible in the photos), I'd say overall the guitar is at least a 9/10.

What's Included
I'm including two pickups as well, a Dimarzio AirNorton7 and ToneZone7 which were in the guitar when I bought it. These are in excellent shape. I replaced these with a Blaze Bridge and Blaze Neck, to get the sound as close to stock as possible. It sounds identical to my other RG7CST with stock pickups.

It comes with a plush Ibanez hardshell case.

Why am I selling it?
I'm somewhat of a collector and I currently own two of these babies, which is more than I need. Only about 24 of these were made, so they are extremely rare and hard to find. I hope someone who can both take great care of this AND get some use out of it buys it.

I'm asking $2400 for everything: guitar, case and extra pickups, along with free shipping anywhere in the continental U.S. (U.S. only) Sorry, no trades. I accept PayPal.

Send me a Private Message if interested.

Thanks!

7620's, cheap? Not from my house. I think I saw a GN on the 'bay for $500, though.

Shawn · 01-13-2007, 01:28 AM

I scored my 7620 GN cheap (349.99+shipping).

Anyhow, what a beautiful guitar you're selling here. Good luck, I hope someone here acquires it.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!
