Description
Ready to take things up a notch? If you’re moving on from your first electric or just want a high-performance axe that won’t let you down, the Ibanez RG470DXW deserves a spot on your shortlist. With its ultra-slim Wizard neck, versatile electronics and expressive Edge-Zero II trem, this guitar is built to push your playing to the next level.
Wizard III neck
Ibanez’s legendary Wizard neck is all about speed and comfort. Thin, flat and super-fast, it gives you effortless playability across a full two-octave, 24-fret fingerboard. Perfect for shredders and riff lords alike!
Quantum HSH pickups
These Ibanez-designed pickups deliver a lightning-fast response for tight low-end riffs and articulate note definition, while serving up a rich midrange and soaring highs for lead work. With a 5-way selector switch, you can play with a flexible mix of full humbucking and spanky single-coil sounds.
Edge-Zero II tremolo
Dive bombs, flutters and everything in between — without the tuning headaches. The Edge-Zero II bridge offers a low-profile design for comfort and a stud lock system for rock-solid stability.
