Great gigging guitar!

Sound I have two RG470FX models. They were the fixed bridge versions that came out in 94 and 95. HSH is a good combo for pretty much anything and Ibanez switching is even better. I play in a covers band despite having many guitars, this one gets it done every time!


Action, Fit, & Finish used, so no comment really..


Reliability & Durability Like I said, great gigging guitar. Hasn't let me down yet! I've only broken a couple strings despite playing gigs almost every weekend!


Customer Support NA, used instrument


Liked about it Great rock tone, very versatile, comfortable neck (Wizard II)


Didn't like knobs have gotten a little loose over time, the pickups could be a little hotter (will prolly upgrade eventually), ring seal on one of my tuners blew out a while ago...


Overall satisfaction:

One of the best axes i have ever owned

Sound This thing sounds great. These come stock with Ibanez V7,S1, and V8 pickups which are awesome for stock pickups and provide a good variety in sound. But I may change the bridge pickup to an X2N for some more power. The body is made of basswood which is light and sounds bright. The neck is really thin which is a plus for me. Since mine is a '93 it has the original Edge tremolo which is phenomenal! It stays in tune very, very well. I have never tried the trem on the newer models , which i believe is the TRS, so I do not know how those perform. It also comes stock with Gotoh tuners which are excellent tuners.


Reliability & Durability I got mine used. It is a '93 model so it has held up very well in 16 years.


Liked about it Thin Wizard neck
Original Edge
Gotoh tuners


Didn't like Square heel isn't a tilt joint
