Description
The Ibanez K7YIN is the signature 7-string of James "Munky" Shaffer, designed specifically to deliver the punch, precision, and aggression Korn fans expect. It's built for players who want to push boundaries-whether you're into low-end riffing, heavy grooves, or experimental textures. This guitar isn't just inspired by Korn's sound; it's part of the DNA that created it.
The K7YIN features a 5-piece Wizard II-7 maple/walnut neck that's fast, flat, and ultra-stable-ideal for modern metal styles. Paired with a tight-grained ebony fretboard and jumbo frets, it plays smooth and articulate all the way up to the 24th fret. DiMarzio Blaze humbuckers deliver that scooped, percussive tone Munky helped define, with enough headroom for cleans and more than enough bite for heavy distortion. The Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and locking nut give you expressive range with solid tuning reliability, even under aggressive use.
Small details like luminescent side dots and Gotoh tuners make a big difference on stage. The K7 inlay and U-bar tremolo arm give it signature personality without sacrificing function. This is one of those guitars you don't just buy for looks-it's built for players who need control, clarity, and that unmistakable 7-string authority. We've seen a lot of artist guitars come through, and this one gets it right from the ground up.
