Ibanez RGMS7PB-CBS RG Standard Series Multi-Scale 7-String Electric Guitar in Cosmic Blue Star Burst

The Ibanez RGMS7PB-CBS is a 7-string multi-scale electric guitar designed for extended-range playing, offering enhanced tuning stability and ergonomic comfort across the entire fretboard. Its distinctive feature is the fanned fret system with scale lengths ranging from 25.5 inches at the high strings to 27 inches at the low strings, providing optimal string tension for both standard and down-tuned playing. This design helps maintain clarity and definition, particularly on the lower strings, making it well-suited for modern metal and progressive rock styles where extended range and precise intonation are essential. The guitar features a Nyatoh body with a striking Poplar Burl top, finished in Cosmic Blue Star Burst gloss polyurethane. The neck is a 5-piece maple and walnut Wizard III-7 construction, known for its thin, flat profile that facilitates fast playing. It includes a jatoba fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and white step off-set dot inlays. Electronics consist of two Ibanez Array 7 MS humbucking pickups, which deliver a tight, focused tone with low noise characteristics ideal for high-gain applications. The Mono-Rail bridge allows individual string resonance for enhanced sustain and tonal complexity, while controls include a single volume, tone knob, and 5-way lever switch for versatile pickup selection. This instrument is particularly suitable for guitarists exploring extended-range territory who require both comfort and technical precision. The multi-scale design reduces finger stretch compared to traditional parallel-fret instruments, making complex chord voicings and wide-interval leads more accessible. The combination of tonal characteristics from the wood selection and specialised pickups provides a balanced response that works well for both clean passages and heavily distorted sections. It arrives strung with D'Addario EXL120+.059 strings in standard 7-string tuning (B-E-A-D-G-B-E), ready for immediate setup and playing.
