Ibanez RG7EX & RG15271

[Repertory]

Hello everyone. I could use some help/advice...

Im dying to find the RG7EX...or if worst case scenario, the RG15721, both are hard tail, black 7 strings...and neither are available in the USA as most of you im sure know. any recommendations on sites or dealers or even members here with either of these models either new or used for sale? and if it is a site, do you know which are reliable and safe, especially overseas dealers.

thanks so much in advance...

Definitely the RG15271, as it's Prestige and MIJ, not MIK like the RG7EX. Ishibashi can help you out.

Wow, I didn't realize the EX was MIK... that kind of sucks as it's the only 7 in production with the offsetr dot neck.

I am not saying it's a bad guitar, but IIRC it's about the same price or maybe even more than the 15271 is. And that doesn't make sense for an MIK guitar.

Thus the reason that it kind of sucks Then again I wouldn't buy one as I don't like EMGs.

Hmmm, wonder if Rich could order the neck as a replacement part so I could put it on my 7321...

Interestingly enough someone just posted that Ishibashi confirmed the 15271 is actually MIK as well.

UPDATE: The guy at Ishibashi updated saying the 15271 IS MIJ... he got confused.
