Ibanez K7YANG MW Brian “Head” Welch Signature Series 7-string Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

Ibanez K7YANG MW Brian “Head” Welch Signature Series 7-string Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

7-string Electric Guitar, Signature, with Maple Top, Okoume Body, Maple/Walnut Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, 2 Humbucking Pickups, and EverTune Bridge – Matte White

When Brian “Head” Welch rejoined Korn with his faith and fire intact, his Ibanez K7 signature model returned with him, a 7-string echo of the past now charged with fresh conviction. The Ibanez K7YANG is the latest evolution of Head’s custom-spec’d K7, primed to deliver the potent riffage that continues to fuel the band’s uncompromising heaviness. This untouchable extended-range axe pairs its maple-topped okoume body with a 5-piece maple and walnut neck, built in a sleek Wizard II-7 profile for effortless speed and control. Meanwhile, the 24-fret, 16-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard facilitates friction-free hand maneuverability. The K7YANG’s DiMarzio Blaze humbuckers are engineered specifically for 7-string electric guitars in lowered tunings, delivering high-impact, high-output tones with scooped mids to safeguard against unwanted muddiness. Furthermore, an EverTune bridge and Gotoh tuning machines ensure spot-on intonation — even under extremely primal playing conditions. You also get an attention-grabbing K-7 12th-fret fingerboard inlay, vivid luminescent side dots, gleaming gold hardware, and a spotlight-ready satin finish. Factory tuned to Head’s preferred A standard tuning, the K7YANG roars with crushing clarity and brutal, down-tuned precision, embodying the essence of modern metal while honoring the legacy of a genre-defining sound.
