Has TRS lo,could'nt be RG570,right?

[martysea]

I bought a as advertised rg 570 what I really wanted. got home to do a setup and realized it has the trs trem must be a 470 it is royle blue,but seems to have jap orig wizard neck japan 98,I been douched yer?

[Ki swordsman]

yeah i'd say it's a 470.
some good 470s had mij necks
does it not say 570 or 470 on the headstock?

[martysea]

Thanx for getting back to me, It just has CE F98 xxxxx and small japan underneath

[Ki swordsman]

cool, well i reckon it's the 470..

it has a good neck but obviously the inferior trem.. you could return it, or ask for small refund because it's a lower model than described and keep it (could mod it and swap the trem )

you should definitely try to get some money back as the edge trem is worth a lot more.

Keep it, I loved my 00' MIJ 470 to death, just get a tremol-no and lock down the bridge. The Wizard II neck is great.

hey buddy, im at work atm so cant see the pictures but did u buy this on 3-bay?

i have a feeling (without seeing the pics) that i was looking at the same one. if u can provide an 3bay link i should be able to confir mit was a 570 so i did alot of research behind the guit (that is, if its the same one im thinking of). how much did u pay?

cheers

Pretty sure the 570s had chrome ibanez logo and the 470> have just a silver/grey logo.

dh0- with the trs it's 100% certain that body was never a 570. it's either a mij 470 or a mik 470 with a new neck i'd say.

If it's a 98 it's a made in Japan, which means it has a MIJ spec Wizard II, said to have a better profile than MIK wizard II. The LO-TRS is also a lot better, so I wouldn't worry too much. It's not Edge good, but it's a hell of a lot better, and much longer lasting than the Korean LO-TRSII trem.
