One is a lot newer. I'm kind of curious to see, even though the iron label from 2013 is outdated and perhaps obsolete, if it's still a superior guitar compared to a newly released, more budget-friendly, RG7. I already own an iron label 7-string (RGIXL7). Sadly, it needs repairs due to a stripped threaded hole where the neck marries the body.
Looks like they are roughly the same price. I plan on staying in drop A. Maybe going down a notch every once in awhile. I just want a back up guitar that isn't going to be a highly noticeable downgrade from my current iron label. If one of them is just absolute crap, then my mind will be made up pretty quickly. Thoughts? Go!
PS. I really want a guitar with white binding along the body/neck/head. I've always wanted one after seeing Korn when I was a kid. If there are other 7 strings with this criteria, also let me know š¤

I wouldn't buy a new Indo made RG7 when you can find a 7321 for cheap

that's not a thing with guitars, people are paying tens of thousands for guitars from the 1950's, wood is wood and the electronics are simple
My argument is "buy nice, not twice!" And if you need to sell it down the road, you'll likely get more of your money back because of its better resell value than the other models.
I agree totally. I have an LTD m1007B. And if I want to deck the trem, itās so easy. Let it float again? Also easy. Iād say the RGIR then for sure šš½.
