The K720th is a solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2020. It is a signature model of James "Munky" Shaffer of the American band Korn as the second guitar model in the K series and is a reissue of the original K7. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.

The K720th features a flamed maple top on an African mahogany body bolted to a maple and wenge neck with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with binding and special "K-7" inlay at the twelfth fret. Components include a pair of DiMarzio PAF-7 Humbucking pickups with a master volume and 3-way pickup selector, a Lo-Pro Edge tremolo with a special U-bar, Gotoh knobs and tuning machines and Dean Markley strings set to Munky's standard "A standard" tuning. It comes in a Prestige series case.

The K720th was originally produced only in 2020, but the model was made available for the Japanese market in 2022.
