Description
The Ibanez K7YANG is the signature 7-string of Brian "Head" Welch, built to capture the core of his tone and performance style in Korn. It's tailored for players who live in low tunings, rely on stability, and need precise response both live and in the studio. If you're after crushing riffs, nuanced cleans, and a guitar that stays rock-solid no matter what, this is that tool.
A 5-piece Maple/Walnut Wizard II-7 neck offers the fast, flat feel Ibanez is known for, while the rosewood fretboard keeps the tone focused and balanced with just the right midrange. The DiMarzio Blaze humbuckers give this guitar a wide dynamic range; tight and aggressive when pushed, but capable of smooth, glassy tones when you back off. The standout here is the EverTune bridge, which maintains consistent tuning across the board-even under heavy attack or big temperature shifts.
Other gig-ready details include luminescent side dots for dark stages, Gotoh tuners for precision, and 24 jumbo frets for effortless upper register access. The gold hardware and K7 inlay give it that personal touch without turning it into a showpiece. We've seen this hold up under serious stage abuse; it's built to sound good and stay locked in, period.
