Dagan demoes the NEW Ibanez SML721-RMC in Rose Gold Chameleon! With specs, features and tones that are as awesome as it looks, the Ibanez SML721 delivers that classic lightweight feel, performance and playability of the iconic S-Series, but with some new unique features!

One of the coolest aspects of the 2023 SML-RMC is the fact that it's a Multi Scale guitar, so the frets themselves are Slanted (they're also JESCO EVO Gold frets!), which alter the scale from 25.5" to 25" for ultimate playability! That and the fact that the 5 piece Maple & Walnut neck is a joy to play, bolted onto a lightweight, ergonomic Nyatoh body, featuring Ibanez's latest pickup tech with the Q58 humbuckers hooked up to the dyna-MIX 10 switching system giving you tonnes of tonal options! Keeping Ibanez SML721-RMC nice and stable are gold Gotoh MG-T locking tuners and Ibanez's killer Mono Rail bridge! This certainly is one high performance guitar, for your buck!

Gorgeous guitar, their S series should get more models and attention.

[@TheSavagederek]

Nice to see it without the locking trem. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but I like that bridge.

[@minstrel9806]

the only thing i don't like is how thin the S series models are. That said i hope they release an RGA Prestige model

[@dearconspiracy5504]

thinkin ab getting this as my first LEGIT guitar i’m so excited

[@BackintheFall]

Yup I'm definitely pre ordering this one! I'm in love

[@tastyguacamole5528]

What a stunning guitar! Definitely going in my bucket list 😊

[@kengillian7164]

Good job my friend! From the USA!

[@loganglaser9556]

I bit the bullet and bought one, they called me and said early may for delivery. I can’t wait it looks beautiful

[@gtrklem]

Russel Brand plays guitar pretty goodish

[@Jamaicangurl81]

Wow.. I saw that color in their bass.. Nice to see it on the guitar as well.. 😍

Great vid

[@BPMChan-nr7ik]

This guitar is a combination of the best features of the Q, AZ, S, and RGD series

[@000MidnightSun]

Damn, that thing is gorgeous!

[@PeterPerez.]

I'm planning to get this from PMT but I'm not gonna preorder it, I'm gonna wait until it's actually in stock. Not gonna play 800 to wait more than a month 😊

[@paulbaxter9715]

Awesome guitar and love the color. Nice playing too. Although....lay off the dust. Lol

[@LeFingal]

helpful video actually, now i know that i'm not so sure i want this anymore, I think RG550 genesis resonates different to this one

[@rocknrollguitar]

Freakin awesome

Hi, she has a neckdiving on left leg, in classic?

[@chaipup7045]

I was going to get the PRS SE DGT but this has thrown a spanner in the works.....

[@SuomiHamalainen]

which one did you go with

[@LucasR-xl4sl]

Hell yeahs! =)

[@VisualRob]

I really don’t like Ibanez guitars because of design but this one… holy shit, one of the coolest looking guitars I’ve seen, and it sounds amazing. Might even get one.

[@randysmith8770]

Can I get it with a locking trem?

[@mattlau]

Ah, having trouble deciding between this and the AZ42P1 Premium

[@TheSavagederek]

Lovely guitar and great playing as always Dagan. Tbh, I'm still laughing about the wings and hot sauce video 😂😂😂

[@skilletfan17]

Great playing, seems like a fantastic guitar. My only question at this point would be, does it chug well enough for modern metal? I need a guitar that does clean tones well, and this does that and overdriven, then dirty here, but in terms of playing metal (metal core, death metal, etc), does it do that "good enough" too? I'm not expecting active EMGs level, but just wondering if this would be suitable.

[@rw5170]

From what I see, can tell, etc. Is that this guitar looks great, plays great, but you really pay for the features rather than banging pickups. I didn't get it because to me it needed a pickup change from the get go. For metal. But, depending on pedals and amps, you may be able to get away with it. I'd rather go to the ibanez rgd61alms which is also 6 string multi scale but with fishman pickups instead of ibanez. But, not as pretty in my opinion

[@mike_lowndes]

Loooks like I need a third S series… But Ibanez, PLEASE, colour match the fugly switch mount!

[@pppig8560]

love s series more than headless

[@adriankovacs4133]

Does anyone know if it is different to restring a multiscale guitar than just a regular one even in the case of this type of guitar where the multiscale from the lowest string to the highest string is only half an inch of a difference? Is it just about the same or more difficult?

[@Luke_Lumberjack_Music]

Hey there! I know your comment is about a year old and you probably already got your answer, but just in case: I got this exact same guitar and it's my first multiscale ever. It feels incredibly nice - I have nothing bad at all to say about that guitar. It's just as easy to restring as any regular guitar - in fact it's pretty quick and easy because you have locking tuners and no floyd rose. The fact that you have different scale lengths does not change the process of changing strings at all 🙂 If you ever have the chance to try out this guitar you should go for it 🤘

[@junfukudahimself]

角度によって色々なカラーになりますね！

[@TeeFetch]

Honestly, Which S Series do you think is best? The Axion, this one? The prestige is expensive and The Premium hasa trem which I don't want.

[@thisguy2973]

Back in the day, not sure if they still do this, but the fixed bridge S series models were called SA models. Maybe look em up.

[@mak_attakks]

@@thisguy2973 SA is similar, but a different model. Their bodies are thicker

[@thisguy2973]

@@mak_attakks right, because the back is flat instead of contoured, so it’s an overall thickness difference, but it’s really a “splitting hairs” type difference.

[@Lester.M]

Rock on bro!

[@beefysinglecut]

IMO, the pickups should slanted too.

[@D14V0R05]

Thought that too but it isn't a "true" multiscale. They did the same with the QX models.

[@beefysinglecut]

@@D14V0R05 As you can hear, there's no tone differences compares a regular guitar. Idk what they've been planned for this guitar. I just feels like it isn't right🤣

[@D14V0R05]

@@beefysinglecut Well, here is the thing: a multiscale 6-string guitar wouldn't sound different from a standard fretted guitar unless it used a much thicker string gauge or extended scale to baritone. For fanfret guitars that don't go higher than 25.5" scale this feature is mainly for playing comfort.

[@user-nk8ww9ce9k]

You get more sustain with both legs properly earthed.

[@LeFingal]

not hearing the typical Ibanez resonation of sound that i want with this one. hmm

[@CHESTER9871]

Only thing that kills it for me is how thin it is, I love feeling the weight of a guitar while I play opposed to people wanting a light guitar

[@thisguy2973]

The S prestige I had weighed 8lbs 10oz. It was a great weight because it was made out of oak.

[@CHESTER9871]

Ya don't say? I ended up selling my S1070pbz and saved up for an AZ47P1QM, never looked back, body on a S is too thin for my liking also

[@thisguy2973]

@@CHESTER9871 do you dig the AZ for shred?

[@CHESTER9871]

@thisguy2973 Absolutely, plays amazingly, I got it in regular .9 to .42 and it played very smoothly, nice on those bends too but I enjoy .10 to .46, feels right and the sounds a little warmer and it still plays just as easily

[@zrajirarath2082]

Guitar sound great, Ibanez put the most advance technology in this. But for the color c’mon not everyone can dress themselves to suit the champagne gold. I don’t think this color would please the metal crowd 😂

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

You could wear black with this :-)

[@garymcaleer6112]

Dancing around does not equate to great music. And pedal processors can make a bargain Glarry sound the same.

Amp sounds like crap.
