What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Maple top Long sustain with crisp, bright tone
Basswood body Big, warm midrange tones
Ibanez Infinity pickups Crisp and defined tones with maximum versatility
Edge Zero II bridge with ZPS3Fe Perfect tuning stability and easy operation

Ibanez is the choice of metal guitarists worldwide. Every inch of the RG470FM guitar screams speed, fury and expression. A vivid, transparent burst finish enflames this RG's basswood body, and the sharktooth inlays in the bound rosewood fretboard add a touch of throwback vibe.

As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Wizard III is yet another achievement in player comfort--comfort that translates into maximizing player performance. The proprietary Infinity humbucking pickups yield a whole palette of thick, distorted tone textures. But few things can better animate a guitar performance than the Ibanez Edge Zero II bridge tremolo system. Responsive, as well as reliable, this trem rig is the envy of the industry.

Wizard III Maple Neck

Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast, yet strong and sturdy, Wizard neck offers unlimited playability for demanding players, and features a two-octave 24-fret fretboard for wide tonal range.

Infinity Pickups

The Infinity neck pickup provides dynamic sound for chording and rhythm playing, and the bridge pickup provides brightness with warm sound and strong harmonics.

Edge-Zero II Tremolo

Lower profile designed tremolo for playing comfort, and stud lock function for stable tuning.

This guitar is gorgeous, first think I thought when I pulled it out was how great the finish looked (I purchased the red flamed maple top). The factory setup was not ideal but with some tweaking and lowering the bridge about a mile the action was low and fast. I love the sounds I can make with this thing. Tons of fun to play and the edge tremolo system has been staying in tune really well. I will say this though, I will probably never buy another tremolo, hardtails are just easier and I hardly ever use the tremolo.
