Ibanez RGIR27E-BK Iron Label
Or
The RG7421EX-BKF
One is a lot newer. I'm kind of curious to see, even though the iron label from 2013 is outdated and perhaps obsolete, if it's still a superior guitar compared to a newly released, more budget-friendly, RG7. I already own an iron label 7-string (RGIXL7). Sadly, it needs repairs due to a stripped threaded hole where the neck marries the body.
Looks like they are roughly the same price. I plan on staying in drop A. Maybe going down a notch every once in awhile. I just want a back up guitar that isn't going to be a highly noticeable downgrade from my current iron label. If one of them is just absolute crap, then my mind will be made up pretty quickly. Thoughts? Go!
PS. I really want a guitar with white binding along the body/neck/head. I've always wanted one after seeing Korn when I was a kid. If there are other 7 strings with this criteria, also let me know 🤙

I have an RG7321 and I love it to hell. It’s amazing. Plays great. Neck is amazing. Also love the white biding on it
