[mattdavios]

Thanks a lot! for help

RG470, I bet. (does the bridge say "TRS"?) The matching headstock looks great! Congrats, wish I got free guitars.

[AleTheNervo]

the bridge make me say 470, the pups the absence of the rings and the matching headstock 570...

[rvai]

nope, rg570, isn´t that a push in arm holder?

[Ayrton]

It is a 470

[mattdavios]

its a trs trem..the arm needs to be turn it..so its more likely to be a RG470?

[AleTheNervo]

the only strange thing is the matching headstock and th v series p.u. that are used in higer end guitars, some other 470 had edge trem and V p.u., but I don't remember V p.u. with trs, maybe someone swapped p.u.
470 also had ring mounted p.u. while 570 direct mounted p.u. so...hehe, maybe someone swapped the edge for a trs

[LordGrendel]

Maybe a RG480 because of the direct mounted pickups...

my bet is:
rg470 japan 1994 aanj
the only year for a rg470 made actually in japan, then switched to mik

[Ibateur]

tend to agree with the RG470, but I didn't know they ever came without the pup rings. Also don't know if the oval input jack indicates a MIK actually.

Matt the first (low E, A) locking nut needs to turn 90 degrees.

It's a RG470. I have one. Modded it with 3 DiMarzios and OFR Pro. Plays like a dream!

So you think that someone sanded down the body and headstock, filled the screw holes, and sculpted wood and filler to the pickup routes to fit cosmetically and painted it that drab color with Ibanez logo and RG series logo on the headstock. I highly doubt that and because the older RG's pickup routes we not exact like the one we're discussing, but they were more like this:

i'm still for the 570!
Why the hell doesn't someone put the neck apart and watch in the pocket to see directli what kinda model this rg is???

[Ibateur]

it can't be a 570 because it has a TRS trem!
