Essential information about the Ibanez 7-string multiscale Nitro Wizard-7 guitar

• Multiscale 27" / 686 mm to 25.5" / 648 mm: more even tension, clearer lows, and smoother highs.


• Two active Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic humbuckers with 2 voicings via push/pull on the volume: from precise sharpness to a big modern sound.


• "Speed" playing comfort: thin Nitro Wizard-7 neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard, 400 mm / 15.75" radius.


• Stage/studio reliability: mono-rail bridge, Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, and Schaller S-Locks strap locks.

A 7-string designed for modern tunings and precision

With its multiscale design and performance-oriented hardware, this Ibanez fits into the lineage of guitars dedicated to articulated riffs, tight palm mutes, and extended tunings. The approach is clear: fast ergonomics, impeccable tuning stability, and maximum definition on the 7th string.

For whom, and for which styles?

This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a lively and modern 7-string. Ideal for metal, prog, djent, core, and all styles requiring clean heavy lows and precise attack. The multiscale helps maintain a consistent feel across the strings, especially appreciated in fast rhythm playing as well as lead.

Sound

The nyatoh body provides a balanced foundation, with present low-mids and good stability, while the mono-rail bridge enhances note separation and precise string-by-string attack. The Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic pickups deliver a very defined sound, with firm lows, clear highs, and dynamics calibrated for modern distortion. The push/pull on the volume allows switching between Voice 1 and Voice 2 to go from an aggressive and sharp tone to a more versatile alternative voice, while maintaining the typical Fluence clarity.

Recommended compatible accessories

For transport, the recommended case is the MR500C. To stay as close as possible to the original feel (tension and balance on the multiscale), a set of D'Addario EXL120 strings complemented by a .059 gauge is perfectly suited (gauges provided as original).
