From Our Research Team:

A Prestige Version of the Ibanez S!

In 1987, back when Ibanez S Series guitars first appeared, a lot of guitarists immediately fell in love with their lightweight mahogany bodies and the affordable sticker prices. While the comfortable bodies and affordable price tags haven't changed, Ibanez S series electric guitars have come a long way since the late '80s. The Ibanez Prestige S5470 offers you smooth and fast action that's perfect for modern rock and metal. It features an ultra-responsive "Zero Resistance" tremolo that lets you get the most from its whammy bar. The S5470's combination of single-coil and humbucking pickups give you a huge range of tone. If you need serious performance and style at a comfortable cost, an Ibanez S5470 solidbody electric guitar is an excellent choice!

Ibanez S5470 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • A classic recipe for superior speed and tone
  • Zero Point System keeps you in-tune
  • Cover a ton of tonal territory

A classic recipe for superior speed and tone
The Ibanez S5470 is built for maximum speed and tonal range, and you'll love how it performs. The solid mahogany body and five-piece Super Wizard HP maple/walnut neck give you sustain that won't quit, and a lively response for excellent note-to-note definition. The Super Wizard HP neck plays incredibly fast, perfect for frantic fretwork. And the innovative Zero Resistance tremolo sports ball bearings for incredibly smooth performance.

Zero Point System
You'll be amazed at the tuning stability of the Ibanez S5470, even when you're doing heavy tremolo work. That's because the Zero Resistance tremolo sports the Zero Point System, which consistently returns the bridge to the exact center point. That means you'll always be in-tune after huge dive bombs. You can adjust the Zero Point System by hand without a tool, making the perfect setup easy to attain. The Zero Resistance tremolo also features ball bearing pivot points instead of standard blade-style pivots - you're much less likely to break a string, and you'll still be in tune even if you do!

Cover a ton of tonal territory
Just one look at the Ibanez S5470 tells you it's ready to shred, but look again - a duo of humbucking pickups complements a single-coil in the middle position for exceptional tonal versatility. A five-way pickup selector lets you create tones that transcend any single genre. and whether you play rock, blues, fusion, or anything else, the incredibly fast-playing Super Wizard HP neck and double-cutaway body style are built to perform night after night. While it may not look at home in your country band, the S5470's combination of precise playability and wide-ranging tone should be welcomed by any guitarist.

Ibanez S5470 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • A favorite among rockers and speed players worldwide for 25 years
  • Sports the Super Wizard HP neck, generally regarded as one of the fastest-playing necks you can buy
  • Carefully shaped body design is amazingly comfortable to play, both sitting down and standing
  • Zero Resistance tremolo uses ball bearing pivots instead of blade-style pivots, eliminating the stress point that often leads to broken strings
  • Zero Point System ensures the tremolo will return to the exact center position for incredible tuning stability
  • Comes with hardshell case

Break the sound barrier in style with the fast-playing Ibanez S5470 solidbody electric guitar!
