What guitar would be better to get? I really like the look of the Hawker compared to the RG7421, and the fact it comes with Grover tuners and has a 27" scale. Whatever guitar I get, I'm going to swap the pickups. However, I haven't really seen any reviews for the Hawker and it seems like a lot of people have experience with the RG7421. The Hawker 727 is only $15 more than the RG7421.

This is the Hawker 727:

It really comes down to which one you think has better specs, especially if you're buying new since you can return it if you get a dud.

I have a bad experience with Agiles and a great one with an Ibanez 7420. The Ibanez has an awesome neck and a fixed bridge, I love fixed bridges (I've locked the tremolo in my RG7420), and the 7421 is MIJ!

I think he means the new Indonesian one.

If not, good job Ibanez, you're causing confusion already. :lol:

The Ibanez is quite boring. Agile also has an amazing return policy if there's any problems or you just plain don't like it. I've owned an Agile and its was a really good guitar.

I'd get the Hawker.

But between the Hawker and the RG742*0*, I'd get the Ibby. I just love a good Ibanez trem :D

I had a 7421 and soon I will own two Hawkers. So there you go.
