Description

The Ibanez RG470DX-SFM Electric Guitar takes one of the most iconic guitar shapes and styles and turns it into a high-performance shred machine. Designed for speed, strength, and reliability, the RG470DX features a Wizard III Maple neck, jumbo frets, a Meranti body for a bright rich tonal resonance, and a set of three Quantum HSH pickups. The RG is precise, articulate, and in every way a performance-built workhorse.

Wizard III Neck

Durable, reliable, and comfortable, the neck on this electric guitar contributes to the rigidity and sustain in feel and tone to give you a performance-focused playing experience. Complimented by the satin polyurethane finish, you’ll be able to navigate the neck with ease to play for hours on end. The Wizard neck shape provides a flat, thin profile that pins you even close to the fretboard, perfect for sweep picking or shredding, designed for the high-performance player.

Jumbo Frets

The Jumbo frets provide a wide and tall feel for expressive bending and articulate, effortless, playing.  Polished to perfection, the jumbo frets give you a clean, crystal-clear tone to ensure that every note and chord that is played expresses a dynamic and fluent response.

Quantum HSH Pickups

The Quantum pickups produce a balanced, dynamic tone with an exceptional response for high-speed staccato solos that project a growling mid-range and a clear, punchy high-end for an articulate sonic experience. The bridge humbucker provides a punchy bite that is perfect for crunchy chords or phenomenal riffs. In the middle position is a single coil that gives you that unique Strat-style tone that bridges the gap between gain and clean sonic frequencies that make this guitar the versatile powerhouse it is. Finally. the neck humbucker provides warmth, that stays clear to avoid any muddying in tone even with the gain cranked up, making for some technical staccato patterns.
