Ibanez RGD7521PB-DSF – User Review
I’ve been playing the RGD7521PB-DSF for a while now, and it’s a solid 7-string that feels better than it looks. I keep mine in Drop F# with a .074 low string, and it handles that perfectly, a bit issue that the nut did not like it that much but it fixed itself. The scale feels ok and it keeps the tension tight, even when tuning low. The guitar feels stable, no neck dive.
The pickups are surprisingly versatile. They’ve got so much diversity, and the coil-tap gives enough tonal variation that I honestly don’t miss having a tone knob.The controls are minimal but they work. I’d rather have fewer knobs and more usable sounds then just a whole lot mid.
The neck is exactly what you’d expect from an Ibanez: fast, comfortable, and reliable. The finish feels smooth and solid, and the fretwork is clean all around.
Visually, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The poplar burl top looks great in pictures, but in person, the finish seems to vary from one guitar to another. Mine doesn’t look quite as flashy as some others I’ve seen, but it’s still neat and well-done. The matte finish doesn’t pop as much as a gloss would, but on the plus side, fingerprints and smudges don’t show at all. The painted headstock isn’t as striking as the body, so there’s a little mismatch in style, but that’s just a small aesthetic thing.
Overall, the RGD7521PB-DSF is a reliable, tight-feeling, modern 7-string. It does exactly what it’s supposed to — no gimmicks, no complications. It feels right for anyone who would like to go into 7 string territory with no genre in sight, simple controls, and clean playability.
