Description
Sound & Tone
The Quantum humbuckers at neck and bridge push a tight, aggressive midrange suited to high-gain rock, metal and progressive playing, while the 25.5" scale and light .009–.042 strings keep low notes focused and lead lines cutting. Switching in the middle single-coil via the 5-way lever thins things out for cleaner rhythm parts and funkier in-between voicings, so the H-S-H layout covers more ground than a straight two-humbucker setup. The bolt-on maple neck and meranti body lend a snappy attack, and the Edge-Zero II double-locking tremolo holds pitch through dive bombs and vibrato-heavy phrasing across the full 24 frets.
Ibanez RG470DXW Guitar in Wine Red Frozen Matte B-Stock
The RG470DXW delivers the fast, comfortable playability Ibanez is known for without premium pricing. Its slim Wizard III maple neck and 24-fret Jatoba fingerboard make this guitar equally at home in rock, metal, or progressive styles, with enough refinement to reward serious players who demand responsive hardware and reliable electronics.
Playability & Feel
The Wizard III maple bolt-on neck maintains a thin profile—19mm at the first fret, tapering to 21mm at the twelfth—that facilitates fast lead work and extended-range playing across the full 24 jumbo frets. A 43mm nut width and 400mm fingerboard radius provide balance between speed and comfort, while the Jatoba fingerboard with sharktooth position markers offers excellent durability and visual feedback during live performance.
Electronics & Hardware
This model pairs Ibanez Quantum pickups in H-S-H configuration for tonal versatility across pickup combinations, anchored by an Edge-Zero II double-locking tremolo system that maintains tuning stability through aggressive use. Black hardware and a 5-way lever switch with 1 volume and 1 tone control round out a spec sheet designed for reliability and consistent performance in gigging conditions.
