The Ibanez RGD3127 7 String Prestige has everything needed in a 7 string. It features the Wizard-75pc Maple/Wenge neck with KTS™ TITANIUM rods, a 26.5 (673mm) scale length Birdseye Maple fingerboard with 17 inch radius and black dots, Jumbo frets, and a nicely contoured and carved basswood body with a Flat White Pearl finish. For hardware, a Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo bridge with locking nut is factory installed, along with a pair of DiMarzio® Fusion Edge pickups. The tuners are Gotoh, non=locking models as that’s not required with the locking nut.
Birdseye Maple
Built at the now-closed Gibson Memphis Custom Shop, this gloss black CS Les Paul Custom dates to 2014 and has all the class and looks of the Custom. The Gibson Les Paul Custom was introduced for the 1954 model year as a ‘dressed up’ version of Gibson’s then-new Les Paul model. The black finish with white multi-ply binding were meant to suggest a tuxedo. At first, it was equipped with a P-90 at the bridge and a ‘Stape Top’ Alnico V pickup at the neck. More important, though, was the wood choice.

It has all the characteristics of the Norlin ownership era, from 1970 to 1983. These include a Maple neck rather than Mahogany, a decreased pitch for the headstock, and a volute behind the truss rod adjuster cavity. These changes were intended to reduce the number of broken headstocks.
