Ibanez built the RGMS7BK as part of the RG Series, positioning it as a seven-string multi-scale instrument. The multi-scale — also known as fan-fret — construction gave each string an individually optimised scale length, ranging from 648mm (25.5") at the treble side to 686mm (27") at the bass side, intended to balance tension across the extended range.
The guitar was built around a Nyatoh body paired with a five-piece Maple/Walnut Wizard III-7 multi-scale neck and a Jatoba fretboard bearing white split offset dot inlays. Jumbo frets were fitted across all 24 positions, with a 400mm radius and a nut width of 48mm tapering to 68mm at the 24th fret. Pickup duties fell to a pair of passive ceramic Array-7 MS humbuckers — one at the neck, one at the bridge — routed through individual Mono-rail bridges per string at a 10.8mm string spacing. All hardware was finished in Cosmo black. The guitar left the factory strung in standard seven-string tuning (low B to high E) with a .009–.059 gauge set.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the individual Mono-rail bridges and the Array-7 MS pickup format are specific to Ibanez's multi-scale RG platform; a qualified guitar technician can advise on compatible replacements and setup adjustments, particularly given the fan-fret geometry's effect on nut and bridge alignment.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
