At the foundation of both instruments sits the renowned Wizard II-7 five-piece maple and walnut neck construction. This thin, flat and fast neck design provides the strength and stability that Ibanez players have come to expect, offering unlimited playability for the most demanding performance situations.
The K7 Yin features an ebony fretboard that delivers tight lows and focused midrange response with strong high-end attack. This model incorporates the legendary Lo-Pro Edge tremolo system with U-bar, providing maximum playing comfort through its streamlined profile and recessed fine tuners, while locking studs contribute to enhanced tuning stability.
In contrast, the K7 Yang Head model utilises a rosewood fretboard that provides well-balanced solid tone with focused midrange characteristics. This model features the innovative EverTune bridge system, designed to maintain perfect tuning under any performance conditions.
Both guitars feature DiMarzio Blaze pickups, originally developed for Ibanez’s groundbreaking Universe guitars. These pickups deliver a scooped midrange response with perfectly balanced output levels, capable of handling everything from pristine clean jazz tones through to heavily saturated metal sounds.
The precision Gotoh machine heads ensure superior tuning accuracy and smooth operation, while the luminescent side dot markers provide essential fretboard visibility during low-light performance situations.
