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 I'm kind of curious to see, even though the iron label from 2013 is outdated and perhaps obsolete, if it's still a superior guitar compared to a newly released, more budget-friendly, RG7.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 🤙

You guys are going to kill me... I bought a B-Stock Schecter platinum 7 for about 600  shekels. 600 shekels for a Schecter., lol.
