Ibanez Standard RG470DX Electric Guitar – Wine Red Frozen Matte Seasoned RG enthusiasts seeking a no-nonsense, high-performance shred machine will feel instantly at home with the Ibanez Standard RG470DX Electric Guitar – Wine Red Frozen Matte. This solidbody electric guitar boasts a classic RG body, sculpted from solid meranti and bolted to a maple Wizard III neck. The 24-fret jatoba fingerboard offers abundant room for rapid-fire finger maneuvers, and the Shark Tooth inlays give this instrument a stage-ready aesthetic that’s sure to impress. Plugging in the RG470DX unleashes a captivating continuum of tones, courtesy of an HSH complement of Ibanez’s Quantum pickups. Additionally, the Edge-Zero II double-locking tremolo places an entire arsenal of pitch-abusing pyrotechnics at your disposal with steadfast reliability — even under extremely primal playing conditions. At its core, the Ibanez Standard RG470DX is a high-caliber instrument designed to craft intricate, genre-defining metal soundscapes. Incredibly fast Wizard III neck One of Ibanez’s fastest necks to date, the maple Wizard III neck on the RG470DX provides players with a wide platform for all varieties of fleet-fingered fretboard action. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you easily pull off lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons while giving you the substance needed for fretting chords. Capping the neck is a 24-fret jatoba fingerboard loaded with jumbo-size frets, perfect for big note bends. From the first time you put your hands on the RG470DX’s Wizard III neck, you’ll know you’ve got a guitar built with performance in mind. Multidimensional Quantum pickups The Ibanez RG470DX delivers maximum impact and power, thanks to a trio of Quantum pickups. The ceramic-fueled bridge and neck humbuckers are brilliant for leads: vibrant yet snarling with an enhanced midrange output when you push them. Meanwhile, the middle-position single-coil pickup gives rise to punchy, blues-flavored tones with a clean treble response. A 5-way lever pickup selector switch, along with master Volume and Tone controls, puts you in complete command of your sound. If you’re after maximum tonal tenacity, then the RG470DX will give your amplifier or modeler what it needs. Dive deep with the Edge-Zero II tremolo When the longing for extreme whammy abuse strikes, the RG470DX’s Edge-Zero II double-locking tremolo is ready and willing to oblige, delivering subtle warbles, screaming harmonic squealies, and subterranean dive-bombs with equal aplomb. Moreover, the extreme stability of this knife-edge-style trem’s stud lock function is one of the many reasons it’s a favorite among many of today’s top players. We’ve been using — and abusing — Ibanez’s Edge-Zero and its variants around here since the original’s 2010 unveiling, and we can proclaim with the utmost confidence that the Edge-Zero II is among the most reliable double-locking trems you’ll ever put your hands on. So, pull the bar all the way up, then slam it down to the body all you want; you can follow it up with a jazz chord, and it’ll be perfectly in tune.
