Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Ibanez dealer

Sixteen years ago everyone "knew" that fat Mahogany tone and sustain equaled weight and discomfort. Then the S changed everything. The S is thin around the edge to give you great comfort, and thick around the neck, pickups and bridge to give you great tone. The 2003 S line offers both double locking and synchronized trems, some including built-in piezos so the S can add acoustic clarity to its signature Mahogany tone and sustain.

Series Features:
Big, heavy tone without the big heavy body. Super sleek S guitars provide complete playing freedom and comfort. New finishes complement the unique S arched back and top.

Thin fast, and flat Wizard and Wizard II necks allow effortless fretwork.

2003 models feature the ZR Zero Resistance tremolo, a major technological advance in tremolo smoothness and tuning stability.

S470DX Features:
Wizard II Neck - 25.5 scale neck is 2mm thicker than the super-thin, super-flat Ibanez Wizard.

Maple Neck Material

Mahogany Body - Mahogany provides rich warm lows and sweet sustain.

22 Jumbo Frets - Jumbo frets offer easy playing for leads and chording.

Have you seen the headlines? "Guitar rock is back."
We're happy to hear it. Except at Ibanez, guitar rock never "left" - and if you're the type of player who reads Ibanez catalogs, you've been too busy playing guitar or bass to worry a whole lot about the media's take on music. However, the papers are right about one thing: there are more new guitar and bass guitar styles than ever before. That's why there are more different kinds of guitars and basses in the 2003 Ibanez line up. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ibanez products.

Ibanez Warranty Ibanez Non-New Product Warranty Information Ibanez Electric Guitars and Basses have a 1-year warranty on NEW instruments only for the ORIGINAL purchaser with a Sales Receipt.

"Great Guitar"

Sound: Single coil sounds exactly like a strat. humbuckers are higher output than you would think. Zero Resistance Tremolo is awesome!! never goes out of tune. they even made the micro tuner for the low E able to raise up higher than the other strings, so you can tune into drop D without unclamping the neck locks. Feature: included an instrument cable (low quality) and allen wrenches. i was also very supprised, it came with a year subscription to rolling stones magazine, how cool is that?!?! Quality: inlays are amazing and completely smooth to the fretboard. tremolo is all around awesome. little disappointed with the color, looks better thr further away you get. the "metallic" color looks more like somone just put dots all over the guitar. the metallic color on my schecter is much better, but schecter is well known for the awesome appearence of their guitars. Value: i dont think you can get a higher quality guitar for the price. The Wow Factor: paint job is a little &^%$ed up, i have the black lava metallic, but the blackened chrome on all the hardware is to die for. Overall: i think this guitar will last me maaaannnny years.

Style of Music: classic rock, light metal, and everything inbetween

"Incredible."

Sound: Sounds great, can get very good sounds from it. The only problem is the single has a hum. Luckily my amp takes away from that, but it could cause a problem for most others. Feature: The ZR is amazing, I can go diving for hours and it stays in tune perfectly. Value: This guitar is relatively cheap for the quality, making it a great intermediate guitar or a great second guitar. Manufacturer Support: Never needed anything. The Wow Factor: The body is beautifully made. It's so thin that it's just gorgeous. It's so different and slim that everybody loves it. The finish reflects light gorgeously. The ladies can't resist (I assume). Overall: I'll keep this until I wear it out, and probably keep it afterwards anyways. It's a great guitar. BUY BUY BUY!!!

Style of Music: Metal (no screaming crap).
