A friend of mine has the 7321 with I think either a Crunch Lab 7 or a D Sonic 7 in the bridge position and it sounded fantastic into my Mark IV.
Or has it changed?

I had a Japanese made RG7421, which was basswood with a maple & bubinga neck and it was great. Paul Creedy routed it for replacement diMarzio pickups as the original routs were quite shallow.

Looks like they have reused the name but for a lower specced model.
However other options:
I've added a load of things to ebay searches.
I wasn't aware of the EMG loaded ones - I like EMGs a lot so that's very useful.
I'll keep an eye on the 1527 as well. I could always block the trem.

I got it used, and it had been upgraded with Seymour Duncan pickups, which are great - but then I never played the guitar with the original pickups, so I can't say how much of a difference these made.
It was neck heavy, but I relocated the strap button, and that was an easy and effective fix.
The tuners were crap IMO, but I changed for a set of new locking tuners and sorted the nut, so that made it into a useable instrument. The truss rod worked fine, so all good.
As I say, I don't know the Ibanez RG 7421 so can't comment specifically on that, but I don't think Ibanez make guitars that are not decent, even if you choose to upgrade some of the hardware. The fact that I barely play it, now that I have a USA JP MusicMan guitar is no slight on Ibanez, but if you're after something that doesn't cost too much, no harm trying an Ibanez?
These were pretty cool
Although matt heafy shreds the shit out of an lp...
Too heavy for me, alas. Otherwise it would be perfect.
