From Our Research Team:

Heat Up Your Amplifier with Pure Metal Fury!

Strapping on the Ibanez RG470FM solidbody electric guitar is the musical equivalent of getting on the autobahn - you can definitely set your own speed limit. That's because the ultra-fast Wizard III three-piece maple neck is built for high-speed playability. And the RG470FM sports the ultra-precise Edge-Zero II tremolo with Zero Point System, which lets you divebomb like a madman without sacrificing tuning stability. If you like fast playing, smooth action, and precise tuning, consider the Ibanez RG470FM solidbody electric guitar a must-have.

Ibanez RG470FM Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Wizard III neck is built for speed
  • Edge Zero tremolo bridge gives you solid performance and stability
  • A trio of Infinity pickups gives you massive tonal range

Wizard III neck is built for speed
One of Ibanez's fastest necks to date, the 3-piece maple Wizard III neck on the RG470FM is an absolute pleasure to play. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lighting-fast runs and arpeggios with ease, but still gives you the substance you need for fretting chords when you need to. From the first time you put your hands on the RG470FM's Wizard III neck, you'll know you've got a guitar that was built with performance in mind.

Edge Zero tremolo bridge gives you solid performance and stability
The RG470FM's Edge Zero II bridge with Zero Point System was designed by Ibanez to give you the fast tremolo response and snap you need to pull off sharp bends and flutters. The extreme stability of this knife-edge-style trem's stud lock function is also one of the many reasons it's a favorite among many of today's top shredders. If you're looking for a guitar that can stand up to long playing sessions without losing its tuning, you're going to love the RG470FM!

A trio of Infinity pickups gives you massive tonal range
The RG's H/S/H configuration has been a long-time favorite among tone-seeking shredders, which led to the trio of killer Infinity pickups loaded in the RG470FM. The neck position ceramic humbucker is voiced for tasty chording and rhythm work, while the Alnico bridge humbucker is a brilliant lead pickup: warm, yet snarling with an enhanced midrange output when you push it. In between, you get a high-output single-coil that serves up traditional spank 'n' sparkle on its own, and plays nice with the humbuckers in blade positions two and four. Bottom line? If you're after serious tone, then the Ibanez RG470FM will give your amplifier what you need.

Ibanez RG470FM Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Fast-playing, wide-ranging, high-performance electric guitar with a gorgeous flame maple top
  • Mahogany body and three-piece maple neck give you rich, warm tone with plenty of bite
  • Edge Zero II bridge with Zero Point System returns to the same precise position every time
  • Fast-playing Wizard III neck feels effortless to play
  • Three Infinity pickups in H/S/H configuration give you a surprisingly wide tonal range

Shred like a rock god with the Ibanez RG470FM!

Sweetwater ALWAYS exceeds my expectation in sales, customer service and knowledge on the gear being sold to me. Sweetwater is my #1 choice to buy equipment from the first time I ordered. I find of great value the fact that I don't feel like one more customer, rather THE customer.
