Description
The Ibanez RGD71ALPA-CKF is a premium 7-string electric guitar from the RGDAL Axion Label Series, designed specifically for modern metal and down-tuned playing. It features a Poplar Burl top with a layered Ash and Nyatoh body, a fast 5-piece Panga Panga/Walnut Nitro Wizard-7 neck, and a Macassar Ebony fretboard with 24 Sub Zero treated jumbo frets. The 26.5″ scale provides enhanced tension and clarity for lower tunings, while dual Bare Knuckle Aftermath 7 humbuckers deliver powerful, tight low-end, focused mids, and articulate high-end response. Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, a Mono-rail bridge, and black hardware provide excellent tuning stability and string-to-string clarity, making the RGD71ALPA-CKF a highly capable choice for aggressive modern playing.

Body Construction
Poplar Burl top with a layered Ash and Nyatoh body, providing a balanced tonal foundation with strong low-end depth, clear mids, and a responsive high-end character. The RGD body shape features deep cutaways for comfortable access to the upper frets.

Finish & Aesthetic
Charcoal Burst Black Stained Flat finish gives the guitar a dark, modern appearance while allowing the natural grain and figuring of the Poplar Burl top to remain visible.

Pickup Configuration
Equipped with dual Bare Knuckle Aftermath 7 humbuckers, designed for aggressive modern metal tones with tight bass response, focused mids, and detailed high-end articulation. The pickups maintain excellent clarity during heavy distortion and down-tuned playing.

Bridge & String Stability
The Mono-rail bridge uses individually separated bridge units for each string, helping reduce unwanted string-to-string vibration while improving note definition, clarity, and overall string stability.

Controls & Electronics
The guitar features a straightforward control layout with a master volume control and 3-way pickup selector, allowing quick access to neck, bridge, and combined pickup tones for a versatile range of sounds.

Tuning Hardware & Scale
Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads provide secure and precise tuning stability while making string changes faster and easier. The 26.5-inch scale length increases string tension and maintains excellent clarity and definition when using lower tunings.
