Ibanez SFS727 Stéphan Forté Signature Model

Ibanez SFS727 Stephan Forté Signature 7-String – Prestige Series

Step into the darker side of virtuosity with the Ibanez SFS727 – the signature 7-string model crafted for French progressive metal maestro Stéphan Forté. Designed for maximum speed, articulation, and precision, this lightweight extended-range guitar is built to handle the complex technical demands of modern shredders and progressive players alike.

At its core, the SFS727 features a 5-piece Maple/Wenge neck and Basswood body topped with Flamed Maple, delivering a balanced tonal foundation with striking aesthetics. The Rosewood fretboard with 27 jumbo frets and Prestige fret edge treatment offers buttery-smooth playability across its extended range.

Equipped with a versatile set of Seymour Duncan® pickups – a Hot Rails humbucker in the neck and a brutal NAZGÛL™ in the bridge – the SFS727 delivers everything from articulate cleans to saturated, high-gain chugs. Combined with a Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo bridge and Gotoh® machine heads, this instrument ensures rock-solid tuning and expressive control.

Whether you're navigating complex solos or laying down crushing rhythm parts, the SFS727 is your gateway into Forté’s unique progressive universe.
