The Ibanez K7YIN is a premium 7-string signature electric guitar designed in collaboration with James “Munky” Shaffer of Korn, built for powerful low-end tones and aggressive modern metal performance. It features a bold matte black finish that reflects its dark, heavy sound identity, along with a minimalist aesthetic that keeps the focus on performance and tone. Designed as part of the iconic K7 “Yin and Yang” series, it represents the heavier, darker counterpart to the K7YANG model.
Built with a solid body and a fast-playing Wizard II-7 maple/walnut neck, the K7YIN is engineered for speed, precision, and durability. The ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets provides a tight, responsive feel, making it ideal for complex riffs, fast lead playing, and extended-range techniques. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort during long studio sessions and high-energy live performances.
Equipped with dual DiMarzio Blaze humbucking pickups, the K7YIN delivers a thick, articulate tone with strong clarity even under high-gain distortion. It also features the Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo system with a locking nut, providing excellent tuning stability and expressive pitch control. This combination of hardware and electronics makes it a reliable choice for professional guitarists who demand consistency and power on stage and in the studio.
