I don't hate all Ibanezes. Just the basswood stuff.

I want a S7320 so bad I can taste it.

Yes the guitar is hideous in appearance as well as being a shitty short scale of 24.75". HOWEVER, this guitar does NOT sound shitty in any respect whatsoever if you throw in a Duncan JB! I had this as my first seven and with the Duncan JB the thing sounded fucking killer! I sold it cause:

1) I tune down to "A" and 24.75" is absolutely impossible to intonate at that scale and tuning and
2) It's ugly as fuck!

But, it doesn't sound bad, not even with the stock pickup actually. Shit, it's mahogany .

Anyway you can buy it for 100 and sold for 160-200 $$

I own an AX7221. I've set the action amazingly, replaced the bridge pickup, sounds and plays beautifully.

Watching you badmouth it pains me. This sites kinda full of "hollier than thou" pricks who think their opinions count for shit when they just do and play what you expect them to. You're not indiviuals as a whole. Fags.

I would go for an RG7321. I think it's a better bargain. But, I will admit, I almost picked up an AX just for customizing purposes.

I was at the Ishibashi a few days ago and I was just going down the Ibanez section counting tuning pegs (to find the seven-strings, since they usually mix the sevens in with the sixes) and I saw one that was new for 24,000 yen I think it was (about $200) and I thought, "What kind of a cheap...?" and then I realized it was an AX7221 (might have been a different number, but it was an AX seven-string).

I have had the chance to play this once and it was the worst seven-string I've ever played... It's the only Ibanez I've played that I thought sucked.

So noodles is a fag whose opinion doesn't count for shit because he plays a one-of-a-kind custom KxK 7-string instead of an AX7221? And I'm a "hollier than thou prick" (not sure what "hollier" means... do I have more holly than other people?) because I play an Ibanez RG7EXFX2 instead of an AX7221?

So you don't think there is any reason that the AX gets a bad rep?

I guess I'm not an individual because I play an RG7EXFX2 (a somewhat rare guitar). I mean, everyone just expects me to play a 27" scale baritone 7-string with EMG707s, but they would never expect me to play an AX7221. I wish I was unique like you, Rusty Shank.

Well I definitely going to check it out as I talked the guy down to $30 for it. I mean come on - shitty or not I guess its up to me to decide when I play it. But I guess beggars cant be choosy.

[yevetz]

Man, my opinion ------> I will buy it for 150-100 or less $

And 7521 I will buy for 250-200 or less

Did you read what I wrote above you? Im going to check it out as I will be paying only $30.

EDIT: Will forgo the AX7221 even for $30 and start looking for a digital camera on craigslist. This rg7620 refinishing is just too good to pass up without WIP picks.

reply:- i own one and disagree, the stock pickups suck and the tuners were crap but replace em and its a good guitar for the price
