The Essentials to Know About the Ibanez RG470DXW Guitar
- Wizard III Maple Neck ultra-thin and stable for remarkable playing speed across 24 frets.
- H-S-H Quantum Electronics responsive and precise: fast lows, full mids, defined highs.
- Edge-Zero II Vibrato low-profile with stud locking system for reliable tuning stability.
- Méranti Body offering scooped mids and a "sweet" tone ideal for modern rock/metal.
The RG, an Icon Born for Speed
For over three decades, the RG series has embodied Ibanez's performance guitar. The RG470DXW continues this legacy: sharp ergonomics, full access to high notes over two octaves, and stage reliability. It follows the range's codes (RG silhouette, Wizard neck, 24 frets) while focusing on contemporary electronics and a vibrato designed for expression and stability.
For Which Player and Styles?
Designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists, the RG470DXW excels in metal, hard rock, prog, and any playing requiring precision and speed. Its H-S-H configuration and 5-position selector also make it an excellent platform for alternative rock, fusion, or bright clean parts.
The Sound
The Quantum H-S-H pickups deliver a fast attack and clear definition, ideal for palm-muted riffs and alternate picking runs. The humbuckers provide body and sustain, while the single coil in the middle brightens cleans and crunch tones. The combination of méranti body + maple neck offers a lively and balanced response, with sculpted mids and precise highs. The Edge-Zero II vibrato, paired with a locking nut, stabilizes tuning during dive-bombs and wide vibratos without sacrificing resonance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain double-locking stability, choose a set of electric strings 9-42 or 9-46 (nickel-plated steel), a sturdy strap with secure strap locks, a clip-on tuner, and a hex key set for vibrato and neck adjustments. A stable guitar stand will protect the instrument between sessions.
