RG7321 - crap? good value?

Hi all!
i wanted to know your opinion regarding the rg7321. i understand its korean made so the quality may not be very good. how does it compare to a 7621? i expect the pickups to be crap, but how bad can be the neck fit and fretting be?
thanks!

American Musical Supply had (or has, I haven't checked) RG7620's in the Gunmetal color for $449. I bought one last week.

If you're looking at a 7321 you may want to consider the 7620 at that price.

Edit: adding URL

They do still have it, here's a direct link.

thanks a lot! but the 7321 is a hardtail!
killer price on the 620 anyway!

Well, I've played the 321, and the worst part about it honestly is the bridge.

Maybe if you could find a good replacement or something...

what's wrong with the bridge? is it useable for someone like me, who's looking for a first 7-string for a new band? it's not like i need pro-quality, just something useable. + it doesn't have a floyd rose, so you can mess around with tuning as much as you like. that's a definite plus for me

Get the 7620 and block the trem. *You may be glad you have the option to go to a floyd in a year or so and the quality of your guitar would be far superior to the 7321.

Or find a disounted 7421. Their mad cheap and are absolutely AWESOME for the money.

Used RG 7621's can be had for $350-425. *I'd go that route if you needed fixed bridge. *Also check out carvin 7's. *More expensive, but ten times the axe a 7321 or 7421 would be.

I just scored a Carvin with Floyd for $550 used and I know another fixed bridge model just went for a little over $400 in Ebay... *Nice axe - required a very minor fret level but very sweet for the money - and with a maple board which you can't find an any Ibanez except for the LNG UV. *Even brand new they're not much. *The Floyd is nowhere near as nice as the Lo Pro Edge but other than that, it's very nice...
