For an affordable electric guitar with a stylishly rugged appearance, a wide range of contemporary amplified sounds, and dynamic tremolo capabilities, the RG470DX from Ibanez's RG series stands out as an excellent choice. This solidbody guitar features several visual details that enhance its appeal. The headstock is painted to match the body color, the 15.75-inch jatoba fretboard boasts bold sharktooth inlays, and the white pickup covers of the Quantum pickups contrast sharply against the finish of this Ibanez RG470.

RG470DX: Quick, Tight, and Decisive!

The HSH pickup configuration of these Ibanez pickups delivers a wide spectrum of amplified guitar tones with a quick bass response, tight trebles, and decisive mids. But it's not just the pickups that make this RG470 conducive to fast playing. A Wizard III neck is securely bolted to the lightweight meranti body. This neck, being slightly thinner and flatter, in conjunction with the 15.75-inch jatoba fretboard and 24 jumbo frets, creates an electric guitar that is light and easy to play, excelling not just in riffs and chords but especially in solo work. For tremolo techniques, you can rely on the Edge-Zero II tremolo with Stud Lock function and the locking nut.
