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 instrument engineered to capture aggressive articulation and technical precision in the studio. Its multi-scale fretboard delivers tighter low-end response on the longer 27" B-string scale, while the higher strings at 25.5" provide comfortable bend geometry—creating a recording platform 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 across extended sessions.
Playability & Construction
The Nitro Wizard-7 neck combines Panga panga and walnut in a bolted-on design for stability and resonance that translates directly into recording consistency. 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 for nuanced performance capture. A Nyatoh body with mono-rail fixed bridge isolates each string for articulate note definition and precise intonation that sits clearly in a dense mix.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic active humbucking pickups deliver studio-ready clarity with multiple voicing options via a push/pull switch on the volume control. This architecture gives you workflow flexibility—from tight, aggressive modern metal tones to more dynamic response—without compromising the articulation that extended-range recording demands. The active electronics ensure consistent output across all seven strings with exceptional headroom, reducing need for gain staging adjustments across tracking sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does multi-scale fretboard mean, and why does it matter?
Multi-scale (or fanned-fret) design varies string length across the fretboard—the low B string is 27 inches while the high E is 25.5 inches. This keeps tension consistent across all seven strings and makes both aggressive downstrokes and bends feel natural without sacrificing articulation or playability on any string.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and metal?
Yes. The RGD71ALMS BAM is purpose-built for metal, djent, progressive, and drop-tuned playing, with the extended 27-inch low B scale providing the tight tension needed for clarity and articulation even at lower tunings.
What are the Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic pickups, and can I adjust their tone?
They are active humbuckers that deliver high-output clarity and studio-grade headroom across all seven strings. A push/pull switch on the volume control lets you access different voicing options for tonal flexibility without changing pickups.
What neck profile does this guitar have?
The Nitro Wizard-7 neck combines panga panga and walnut in a slim, fast profile designed to minimize hand fatigue during extended technical passages. The bolted-on design balances stability with resonance.
What is the fretboard radius, and how does it affect playing?
The fretboard has a 12–16 inch compound radius, which supports both aggressive downstrokes and smooth bends without compromising either technique. This curvature adapts across the fretboard for comfort whether you're playing high or low.
