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.

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