Ibanez

collapse expand iconDescription

The Ibanez RG470PB Standard electric guitar brings together speed, strength and precision for nearly limitless creative potential. With its thin, fast Wizard III maple neck and jumbo frets on a 24-fret fingerboard, the RG470PB offers incredible playability. Its versatile HSH Quantum pickup configuration provides a broad tonal palette. The guitar's Edge-Zero II locking tremolo bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability for dive bombs and flutter effects. All this makes the Ibanez RG470PB a high-performance instrument ready to handle the most demanding technical playing.

Lightweight, Resonant Meranti Body

The RG470PB's lightweight meranti body contributes to the guitar's comfort and playability. Meranti produces a balanced tone with enhanced mid scoop and low-end punch. The beautiful poplar burl top not only looks exotic, but also adds resonance and sustain. Overall, the body design provides hours of fatigue-free playing time.

Versatile Pickup Configuration With Quantum Pickups

The RG470PB's HSH pickup layout gives you the best of both worlds, with two Quantum humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, and a Quantum single coil in the middle. This combination delivers aggressive humbucking output when you want it as well as bright, detailed single-coil tones. The Quantum pickups feature strong magnets and alloy pole pieces to produce tight low end, brilliant highs and excellent note separation. You'll enjoy accelerated bass response for fast riffing along with articulate mids and highs.

Wizard III Maple Neck Offers Speed and Playability

The RG470PB's Wizard III maple neck has a thin, flat profile that's built for speed. Its smooth, unfinished back lets your hand glide up and down effortlessly. With a 24-fret fingerboard and wide nut width, the neck offers tremendous range and comfortable playing feel. Jumbo frets maximize sustain and make string bending a breeze. The neck is also bolted on for outstanding resonance and sustain.

Rock-Solid Tuning Stability With Edge-Zero II Tremolo

No matter how wild you get with dive bombs, flutters and extreme whammy bar use, the RG470PB's Edge-Zero II locking tremolo bridge keeps you in tune. This low-profile tremolo arm focuses on playing comfort. The stud lock function increases tuning stability by securing the tremolo to the body. The bridge's smooth fine-tuners enable you to dial in your perfect intonation.

    This is a awesome guitar! Neck is great, feels fast. Edge Zero II needed some adjustment, but once dialed in, dive bomb heaven! Stays in tune. Pickups are good but not great, probably be swapping them out down the road. The finish looks awesome! This guitar is worth it!

    Ibanez did not disappoint! It will adjust to low action. Just keep working with it. I had a little feet buzz too! Just stay after it!!! Do not leave the neck flat on this one. When you find it? It's money baby!! Take on to the bank!!

    I'm kind of picky when it comes to guitars. I wanted an Ibanez with a locking trem and nice neck. I tried the Jemjr, and it was okay. This is much better. The neck is smooth, and the trem stays in tune. The weakest link on the guitar is the pickups, and they are pretty decent-sounding. The finish is awesome. I want to get a second one for drop tunnings. I was very wary on the edge zero as I have had them before, but these are made to work. Smooth action and stays in tune. I guess we will see after some time how it holds up, but im impressed. I gave it a 5. Its not perfect, but for the price your not going to find anything better. I've been playing this more than my RGt1270pb.

    I CAN NOT GET THIS GUITAR OFF MY MIND. THE FIRST HARMONIC NOSE DIVE TOLD ME YES THIS GUITAR IS NOT OF THIS PLANET, I REALLY LOVED THE FEELING OF THE FLOYD ROSE. I REALLY FELT IN CONTROL OF THE TREMLO. THE NECK HAD SOME SPEED, I RAN SOME CHROMATIC PRACTISE SCALES. I'M SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED BY THIS AXE!! PLATINUM RECOMMENDATION 7 STAR

    Bought this guitar today. Was blown away by the neck, the action, and tones you can get. I had went to Guitar Center in mind to buy a Fender Player II. I played the Fender first. Very nice guitar but not a great neck feel for me. Also the action on the Fender was way high, I mean really high. Needed a setup badly. Tones were ok but not what I wanted. Decided to try this Ibanez. Blown away within a couple of minutes. Action, neck, and tone perfect. All it needed was for me to buy it. Got home and played and played. I have not an electric more suitable to me.

    I was not sure about this model at first but after a couple weeks of use I have found that this guitar rivals my dana 2. The tonal spectrum is beautiful. The tuning is solid, high gain to clean tone intonation is flawless. I would of expected a much higher price. My new go-to.
