Body
The SIX7FDFM S Series model features the typical Ibanez deep double cutaway body, providing you with complete access to the neck. This allows you to reach the higher fret registers and really take advantage of the 7th string. The body is constructed from mahogany known for its warm, rich sound and ability to respond to many playing styles. A flamed maple top joins the body and looks just wonderful. Maple and mahogany partner one another beautifully to produce outstanding sonic properties.
Neck
A 3-piece maple / bubinga neck is joined to the body and shaped to the Ibanez Nitro Wizard-7 profile. The Nitro Wizard-7 neck frame is strong and durable, even with 7 strings instead of 6, but it is also very slim. This is ideal for faster players and metallers as it suits riffs and solos superbly.
A bound ebony fingerboard tops the neck, providing a sumptuous surface beneath the fingertips. The fingerboard has has no inlays which gives it a really clean appearance.
DiMarzio Pickups
Ibanez are used to making the best guitars particularly for metal and rock enthusiasts, and they carefully select the best pickups for each model. The SIX7FDFM 7 String guitar is fitted with DiMarzio pickups in the neck and bridge positions. These ceramic humbucker pickups expand your sound, bringing in the warmth of the mahogany body together with the bright, crisp tones of the maple top and 3-piece neck. DiMarzios are well-known for their distinctive tones and ability to cover all the frequencies, which is great for a 7 string model.
The control layout features a Master Volume pot, a coil tap switch and a 3-way pickup selector switch for easy tone shaping. The Sure Grip control knobs prevent slipping even during a heavy performance. By flipping the coil tap switch you can choose the type of voice you put out, whether you're looking to go more vintage or bring out an up-to-date contemporary sound.
Hardware and Finish
The SIX7FDFM has a Gibraltar Standard II-7 fixed bridge that holds a firm connection between the strings and body to improve sustain as the strings vibrate. Tuning stability is first-rate thanks to the reliable Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads on the headstock.
The SIX7FDFM-DCB Spot Run Electric Guitar is yet another classic from Ibanez, ensuring excellent quality and endless sonic possibilities.
