Ibanez RG470PB-REB Red Eclipse Burst - Refurbished

An RG with Ibanez DNA: Modern Performance and Accessibility of the Standard Series

Within the Ibanez lineup, the RG family has established itself as a benchmark for performance-oriented guitars: efficient ergonomics, fast neck, and electronics tailored for precision. This Standard version carries forward the RG's "high performance" spirit with a clear brief: immediate playability, a reliable instrument for fast practice and loud playing, and typical brand features (24 frets, locking tremolo, high-output pickups) in a format accessible to a wide audience.

Who Is This Ibanez RG Standard For?

This RG targets serious beginners seeking a guitar that can evolve, as well as intermediate players looking for a true platform to develop their technique. Its natural domain is anything requiring precision and speed: metal, hard rock, prog, fusion, modern metal tuned standard or with slight drop tunings. Thanks to the single coil in the middle position, it can also deliver airier textures for arpeggios, funk rock, or defined cleans, while remaining clearly performance-oriented.

Sound Character: Attack, Definition, and H-S-H Versatility

The combination of a Poplar Burl top and meranti body provides a balanced foundation, with present mids and a response that remains clear when gain is increased. The maple neck contributes to a sharp attack and a precise high end, useful for note separation in fast passages and complex chords.
On the electronics side, the Quantum H-S-H set is designed for modernity: ceramic humbuckers in the neck and bridge deliver high output, bite, and excellent sustain under distortion, with a quick response to the pick. The central alnico single coil adds a snappier, more open option, handy for lightening the sound, expanding rhythmic palettes, or gaining articulation in clean tones.
The Edge-Zero II tremolo favors expressive effects (wide vibratos, dives, pull-ups) while remaining comfortable thanks to its low profile. Paired with the locking nut, it aims for tuning stability during intense playing. Finally, the mono-unit output jack enhances daily reliability: less mechanical play, fewer risks of false contacts, and a guitar designed to last on stage and in rehearsal.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, choose a set of electric strings 9-42 (such as D'Addario EXL120). A strap and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable are also safe choices for regular use in rehearsals and on stage.
