Part of Ibanez’s unapologetically metal Iron Label series, the legendary Xiphos is back — blacked out, supercharged, and ready to pick a fight with your amplifier.
Its seven strings will drag your tuning down to Mariana Trench depths, while the electronics are built to slice through any wall of sound. If you're the kind of player who thinks "too heavy" is a challenge rather than a warning, your new partner in crime has arrived.
Built for Speed, Designed to Shred
The Xiphos XPTB720 isn't just a guitar — it's a statement piece with an attitude problem. Its ultra-thin Wizard II neck and razor-sharp body shape are built for players who need to move fast and hit hard, night after night. It stays out of your way so your technique can do all the talking (or screaming, depending on your genre).
Wizard II-7 5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck: Ibanez's legendary thin, flat, and fast Wizard neck delivers effortless playability across the entire fretboard. Maple and walnut are laminated together for a neck that's as sturdy as it is smooth — no fighting the neck, just pure, uninterrupted shredding.
Okoume Body: Lightweight without sacrificing tone, the Okoume body keeps the guitar comfortable for long sets while pumping out a bright, solid sound that cuts through the mix without apology.
Ebony Fretboard: Dense, hard, and tonally superior to most alternatives, the ebony fretboard delivers tight lows, a well-defined midrange, and a crisp, articulate high-end attack. Every note feels intentional, every riff feels lethal. Luminescent side dots keep your position locked in, even when the stage lights go dark.
Jumbo Frets: Jumbo frets reduce the effort needed to fret clean notes, bend, and vibrato with minimal friction and maximum expression. Less fighting the instrument, more fire on the fretboard.
Electronics That Actually Earn Their Spot
The Iron Label philosophy cuts straight to the point: if it doesn't serve the tone, it doesn't make the cut. The XPTB720's pickup and hardware configuration keeps things refreshingly no-nonsense, delivering a powerful, open sound with the harmonic complexity that makes metal players very, very happy.
DiMarzio D-Activator Pickups: These aren't your average humbuckers. The D-Activators deliver a powerful, clean, and open tone with exceptional harmonic overtones and a very tight low-end response — giving you articulate chunk in the low B string without any of the muddy mush that ruins a perfectly good breakdown.
Gotoh Machine Heads: Precise, smooth, and built with minimal backlash, the Gotoh tuners keep your guitar in tune even when you're abusing the tremolo with reckless abandon.
Edge-Zero II Tremolo: Ibanez's trusted Edge-Zero II sits low for comfortable playing and locks down with a stud lock function that keeps your tuning stable. Dive bomb responsibly — or don't, we're not your parents.
Ready to Travel, Ready to Perform
No guitar at this level should make you stress about logistics. Ibanez gets that. The XPTB720 ships with a gig bag included, because showing up to a gig with a bare guitar under your arm is a look nobody is going for.
Gig Bag Included: Ibanez's included gig bag is made from durable materials designed to protect your investment during transport.
Blacked-Out Aesthetics: The Iron Label's signature all-black look isn't just a cosmetic choice — it's a statement. The XPTB720 looks as heavy as it sounds, and that matters when you're standing in front of a crowd.
Iron Label Build Quality: Every component on this guitar was chosen because it contributes to tone, performance, or durability.
The Xiphos Is Back, and It Remembered to Bring the Riffs
The Ibanez Iron Label Xiphos XPTB720 7-String is what happens when a guitar brand takes one look at metal and decides to raise the bar. The fast Wizard II neck, ebony fretboard, DiMarzio D-Activators, and Edge-Zero II tremolo aren't just spec sheet bragging rights — they're purpose-built for one thing: heavy, playable, uncompromising tone. If you've been on the fence about going 7-string, consider this your sign.

Amazing guitar!
I was looking forward to this since the day they announced it, and it did not disappoint. Quickly became my main guitar. Stays in tune better than any locking nut guitar I’ve had. First non Japanese Ibanez I’ve owned and I must say I’m impressed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the XPTB720 was literally built for metal and nothing else. Between the DiMarzio D-Activators, the tight Ebony fretboard response, and the Iron Label philosophy of stripping away anything that doesn't serve the tone, this guitar was engineered from the ground up for heavy music.
The XPTB720 7-string is typically set up for standard 7-string tuning (B E A D G B E). The low B string is where a lot of the guitar's magic happens, especially with the D-Activator's tight low-end response keeping things punchy and defined.
The Edge-Zero II is a reliable, low-profile tremolo that stays in tune well, especially with the stud lock function engaged. It handles moderate tremolo use with ease, though players who do extreme dive-bombing regularly may want to factor in setup and string gauge adjustments.
The Wizard II neck is famously thin and fast, which many players love — but beginners with smaller hands sometimes need an adjustment period. It's not uncomfortable, it's just optimized for speed and low action, so it rewards technique over brute force.
The XPTB720 ships with an Ibanez gig bag included. It's a soft bag made from durable materials, ideal for transport to rehearsals and local gigs. If you're checking it as luggage or touring heavily, you may want to invest in a hard case separately.
