. Description
Sound & Tone
The 27"–25.5" multi-scale layout keeps the low B tight and defined while the higher strings stay slinky, and the Nyatoh body with a mono-rail fixed bridge and Macassar ebony board pushes note separation and attack to the front. Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic active humbuckers supply high headroom and consistent output across all seven strings, with a push/pull voicing switch that shifts between aggressive, tightly focused gain and a more dynamic, open response. It's aimed at down-tuned and progressive metal, djent-style riffing, and technical lead work where chord clarity under heavy distortion matters.
Ibanez RGD71ALMS BAM Multi-Scale 7-String Electric Guitar – Black Aurora Burst
The RGD71ALMS BAM is a modern extended-range machine engineered for aggressive performance and technical precision. Its multi-scale fretboard immediately feels different in hand—tighter low-end response on the longer 27" B-string scale, comfortable bend geometry on the higher strings at 25.5"—creating a playing experience tailored to down-tuned and progressive styles. The striking Black Aurora Burst finish pairs with a fast, slim neck profile built for speed and clarity.
Playability & Construction
The Nitro Wizard-7 neck combines Panga panga and walnut in a bolted-on design for stability and resonance. A Macassar ebony fretboard hosts 24 Sub Zero treated fanned frets with white step offset dots and luminescent side dots for visibility in any setting. The multi-scale design ranges from 27" to 25.5", balancing string tension across all seven strings while the 12"–16" compound radius supports both aggressive downstrokes and smooth bends. A Nyatoh body with mono-rail fixed bridge isolates each string for articulate note definition and precise intonation.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic active humbucking pickups deliver high-output clarity with multiple voicing options via a push/pull switch on the volume control. This architecture gives you flexibility—from tight, aggressive modern metal tones to more dynamic response—without compromising the articulation that extended-range playing demands. The active electronics ensure consistent output across all seven strings with exceptional headroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does open-box mean?
Open-box means this unit was unboxed and inspected by our technicians in Temecula, set up, and is otherwise new and unplayed. It ships in the original packaging with all factory accessories at a reduced price and is covered by our 30-day money-back return policy.
How does the multi-scale fretboard work?
The fretboard ranges from a 27-inch scale length on the low B string to 25.5 inches on the high E string, which equalizes string tension across all seven strings. This delivers a tighter low-end feel for down-tuned precision while maintaining comfortable bend geometry on the higher strings.
What pickup voicing options are available?
The Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbuckers offer multiple voicing options accessible via a push/pull switch on the volume control, allowing you to dial in different tonal characters from tight aggressive metal to dynamic response without leaving your instrument.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or blues?
No—the RGD71ALMS BAM is purpose-built for metal, djent, progressive, and drop-tuning styles. The aggressive pickup voicing, extended range, and fanned-fret ergonomics are optimized for those applications rather than jazz or blues playing.
What neck profile does this guitar have?
The Nitro Wizard-7 neck combines panga panga and walnut in a bolted-on design with a fast, slim profile that reduces fatigue during extended technical passages. The 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius supports both aggressive downstrokes and smooth bends.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $80 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
