Re: 7 string?
If you're looking for a used one, the 7620's are the best value. They are great guitars but don't seem to hold their value in the used market. I've seen them go for less than $400. If you're looking for a new one, the 1527 is your best bet. It is the new version of the 7620 with the new Edge bridge and Ibanez pickups. I got one of those a few months ago and it is great. However, I replace the stock pickups in just about everything I get (unless it has Duncans to begin with). Some people really like the Ibanez pickups but I find they leave alittle to be desired. Either of these two are going to be great guitars for your money. The 7420 and 7320 are Korean made and are not of the same quality as the Japanese 7620 and 1572. However, I have not played either of those two so I cannot really comment on them.

Re: 7 string?
Thanks for the RG clarification. My favs of the Ibanez 7s are actually the Sabre and the K7. If I were going to play their 7 strings, that's what I'd play. I've played some UVs I like, but most of them lack something to me...
The Prestige line are very nice but pretty rare and serious cash when you do find one. I know someone who plays the six string verisons extensively, and he swears by them. I keep telling him to play his San Dimas Rhoads more, to facillitate his deprogamming. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 7 string?
I dont know if your dead set on an ibanez, but a decent all round 7 string guitar, is the Conklin Groovetools 7 string... Conklin specialise in guitars with 7-8-9 strings and basses with 5-6-7-8-9 strings... they know how to make em work better than anyone else as far as production line instruments go, and thier customshop is one of the best in the world IMO, i have an 8 string from them, solid quild maple body sides, neckthrough, MIDI on all 8 strings, the thing is a work of art, and a technological work of genius, all in a package just about the size of a guitar [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] .
