Product Description

The Ibanez RG470MH RG Tremolo Electric Guitar can take any level of stage abuse and still look great, sound like thunder, and stay in tune. The stunning RG470MH has a fast and thin 3 piece Wizard III Maple neck, an Edge-Zero ll bridge with ZPS3 Zero Point spring system (fans of floating trem set-ups can simply remove the special stop bar), and rabid INF pickups in a hum/sing/hum configuration.

The RG Tremolo series includes many models with a variety of different features and exciting finishes. The one constant factor in all of them is the Edge Zero II tremolo with the Zero Point System, which allows for killer trem effects as well as total tuning stability. These trem-equipped guitars have ushered in a whole new way to play hard rock and metal and they continue to push the boundaries while standing up to the most abusive whammy bar users around. Lightning fast fretboard work is no problem with the Wizard neck, flat fingerboard, and jumbo frets.

Features:

- Edge Zero II trem with ZPS gives maximum tuning stability
- Fast, flat, and thin Wizard III necks
- INF humbucker pickups with additional single coil for added versatility
- 24 Jumbo frets are very comfortable and make string bends easy
- Bound rosewood fingerboard and mahogany body zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ibanez products.

5 out of 5 (3 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Ibanez RG470MH...Score!"
Sound: The tone exceeds my expectations. Single notes are chrisp & clear & aggressive. chords are meaty, makes you sound better than you might really be. Just by buying this guitar I leveled up. Sounds better to my ear than my Les Paul with Burstbucker pros, not bad for stock pickups. Yeah...it's the sh-t. Feature: As Champ in Ancoreman said...WHAMMY!!! Its a dive bombing fool. That Trem will take you to some strange and wonderful places, way to much fun. Volume & tone knobs are solid feeling and are high quality. STAYS in tune...for days! Everything is top notch and for 500$...stole it. Ease of Use: The action out of the box seemed to high and I was on my way to get the pro setup right away but after playing it its setup killer already, zero buzz! Very forgiving of semi sloppy play, if you miss your mark the RG has your back. Almost plays itself. Quality: This is a high quality guitar and a great platform for upgrades. I bought it with upgrades in mind but after about 6 hours of playtime I wouldn't change a thing. Value: Value is the one word I would use to best describe this guitar, this is no axe, it's a buzz saw! Manufacturer Support: Forget em, won't need em. The Wow Factor: Open the box, remove the packing and WOW! Your gonna be stunned with the color, (blackberry) its much deeper than the photo, the photo, any photo does no justice. After I oiled the fret board and waxed the body it looked like candy. Not the Sugar candy the stripper Candi. Dangerous curves. P.S. stay away from that Candi...bad for you. Overall: Do your homework, compare everything in this price range. it boiled down to this guitar, I bought it sight unseen and my gamble payed off in spades.
Style of Music: Hard rock & Hard rockin Blues. Hip Hop...yeah right.

"Ibanez RG 470 mahogany"
Overall: I've been playing guitar for over 30 yrs & have owned & played many different guitars & i have to say once i got this thing set up, it truly is one of the best! My wife got it for me Xmas of 2011, it has become one of 4 of my main players & easily outshines the rest of my collection. Even some of the more expensive guitars i have aren't as slick as this thing is. You read alot of reviews where folks tell you "this the best bang for the buck" I can tell you this one truly is, the pickups have a wide tonal range which i find fits many of the different styles i play. This is my main practice ax & not a problem with performance, so as far as factory support goes, haven't needed it. Ibanez is hard to beat with this one
Style of Music: i play rock, contemporary, southern, some easy listening, and a little of the heavy stuff this Ibanez does it all & does it well

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
