Seven-string RG electric guitar from the Ibanez Gio series
With the Ibanez Gio GRG7221QA-TKS Transparent Black Sunburst, the traditional Japanese manufacturer offers an affordable and good-sounding 7-string guitar. The instrument from the Gio series comes with high-quality Ibanez Infinity R humbuckers specially wound for seven-string guitars, whose ceramic magnets provide a powerful punch and the right sounds for steaming metal.

Ibanez GRG7221QA-TKS Gio (Transparent Black Sunburst)
This is a great guitar. It can't compete with more expensive, high spec guitars, but you're not paying that sort of money for it. In the price range this is really good.
For the money (£225 at time of purchase) this guitar is an excellent budget entry into 7 string playing. The 5 way switch is very versatile in what tones you can extract from this guitar. The build quality is decent, as you'd expect from a budget Ibanez and for the price of the guitar it packs a pretty decent punch.
