The RGIM7BC is a seven-string RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2017. It was made in Indonesia as part of the metal-focused Iron Label line. It replaced the RGIF7 which is a similar model with an ash body.
The RGIM7BC is a multi scale model featuring fanned frets with a 27" (686mm) scale length at the seventh string and a 25.5" (628mm) scale length at the first string. The equalized string tension this design allows contributes to a more "alive" tone while the fanned fret layout provides an ergonomic platform for the player's hand as it moves up and down the neck facilitating speed and comfort.
In addition to the multi scale design the RGIM7BC features a mahogany body with a bocote top bolted to a maple and bubinga neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with no inlays. Components include a fixed bridge and dual active EMG humbucking pickups.
The RGIM8MH is a similar eight-string model. The RGIM7MH is a similar model without the bocote top.
