Ibanez ARZIR27FB Iron Label ARZ Series 7 String Electric Guitar

A thunderous offensive on the metal guitar market.

Iron Label, the Ibanez made-for-metal series, continues its thunderous offensive on the metal guitar market as its single-cutaway down-tunable wonder, the ARZ, joins the Iron Label. The ARZ series features a sleek, single cutaway design and 24-fret, ultra-comfort set-in neck with smooth heel, designed for metal music.

With its longer 25 scale length, the ARZ series was developed for down tuning, and a natural for the Iron Label treatment. As the leader in 7-string guitar development, maximizing the sonic gravitas of the ARZ series with a seventh string was purely a matter of simple evolution for Ibanez.

The ARZIR27FB features 3-pc mahogany/maple ARZ-7 set-in neck, beautiful figured bubinga top/mahogany body, Jumbo frets, and the TOM 7 bridge for superior intonation and sustain. Electronics include two EMG 707 pickups, specifically designed to beef up the low B while providing a more responsive, super-tight overall sound.

The ARZIR27FBs high gloss finish, bound ebony fingerboard, Pearl/Abalone block inlay, and gold hardware, take the Iron Label series to a new level with a style of new elegance.

Rock-solid design for drop tuning

Ibanez has been synonymous with the metal world for decades, and the Iron Label guitars take that proud tradition seriously. Typical single cutaway guitars sport a 24.75" scale length, but the Iron Label ARZIR27FB uses a 25" scale length for better tuning stability when using dropped tunings. Add that to the locking tuners and fixed TOM bridge and you have a drop-tuned axe that will will be rock-solid no matter how far you detune it.

Active EMGs onboard for serious tone

The Ibanez Iron Label ARZIR27FB electric guitar is fitted with a pair of hot EMG 707 active humbuckers. Ask the guitar experts at Sweetwater - there's a reason top metal guitarists use active pickups: they rock hard. Whether you're playing shimmering chords, cascading single-note runs, or cranking out palm-muted death chugs, you'll be absolutely delighted when you hear yourself through these pups. Whatever style of music you play, these EMGs will unleash the raw power of your guitar.

Set-in neck enhances your sustain and definition

The mahogany neck with bound ebony fretboard is set directly into the body of the Ibanez ARZIR27FB, which enhances the transfer of vibration throughout the instrument. Your sustain will sing out long and clear, and you'll notice exceptional note definition, too. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lighting-fast runs and arpeggios with ease, but still gives you the substance you need for fretting chords.
