Essential Information About the Ibanez RG470AHM-BMT Guitar

• Wizard III Neck: thin and fast profile, designed for modern playing and technical riffs.

An RG Shaped by Decades of Fast Playing

A true icon at Ibanez, the RG series has established itself as a reference for guitarists seeking a high-performance, precise, and robust electric guitar. The RG470AHM-BMT continues this tradition: a "superstrat" style ergonomics, a neck crafted for speed, and equipment geared towards tremolo playing, with a modern aesthetic that highlights the character of ash wood.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

The Ibanez RG470AHM-BMT is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an instrument comfortable with fast techniques (alternate picking, legato, tapping) and demanding styles. It excels in metal, modern rock, fusion, and any genre requiring precise playing and articulate distortion, while still capable of finer tones through the 5-position selector switch.

The Sound

The ash body provides a lively response, good definition, and a pronounced attack-an asset when pushing gain and wanting to maintain clarity in chords. The Quantum pickups in H-S-H configuration promote versatility: humbuckers for dense riffs and carrying solos, single coil in the middle for airier textures and snappier intermediate positions. The passive electronics with 1 Volume, 1 Tone, and a 5-position selector switch offer simple and effective control, while the Edge-Zero II tremolo encourages expressive vibratos and more extreme effects.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a tremolo arm and hex key. For transport, you can choose the recommended M300C case or the recommended IGB540-BK gig bag. Regarding strings, the indicated gauge and model are D'Addario EXL120 in .009/.011/.016/.024/.032/.042, an excellent standard to maintain neck comfort and responsiveness.
