The Ibanez K7YIN is a devastatingly powerful signature instrument engineered in collaboration with Korn's legendary guitarist, James "Munky" Shaffer. Dressed in a sleek, commanding Matte Black finish with matching black hardware, this 7-string machine is built from the ground up to deliver the earth-shaking, ultra-low rhythm structures and crushing riffs that defined the nu-metal genre.

The core of this signature weapon is crafted from a resonant okoume body, providing a dense and punchy tonal profile with plenty of low-end authority and a snappy mid-range response. It features a rock-solid, bolt-on 5-piece maple/walnut neck carved into the ultra-slick Wizard II-7 profile, which measures a comfortable 19mm at the first fret and 21mm at the twelfth. The premium ebony fingerboard is decorated with a distinctive K-7 special inlay at the 12th fret, glowing luminescent side dots for visibility on dark stages, and a flat 400mm radius. Loaded with 24 jumbo frets across a traditional 25.5" scale length, this neck yields a fluid and high-speed playing surface.

To satisfy the demanding performance requirements of heavy alternative metal, the K7YIN comes factory tuned to a low A (1D, 2A, 3F, 4C, 5G, 6D, 7A) and features a legendary Lo-Pro Edge 7 double-locking tremolo bridge. This iconic bridge is outfitted with Ibanez's signature U-bar attachment, allowing you to execute massive palm-vibratos and pitch bends without changing your hand position or catching your sleeve. Sonically, it is armed with a calibrated set of passive DiMarzio Blaze humbuckers in both the neck and bridge positions. Driven by ceramic magnets, these pickups are world-renowned for their scooped mid-range, tight bass tracking, and pristine note definition under massive high-gain distortion.

The hardware package is strictly professional-grade, anchored by high-performance Gotoh machine heads for fast and smooth adjustments and a rock-solid locking nut. Spaced at an ergonomic 10.8mm string spacing and fitted with heavy-duty D'Addario EXL110-7 strings, this instrument is fully optimized for heavy physical performances. Complete with a matching black headstock and a stealthy black hardware configuration, this signature model stands as a premium, stage-ready tool built for modern metal heavyweights.
