Shred With Ease Using the Wizard III Maple Neck

Access Thick, Aggressive Tones With the Quantum Pickups

The Quantum neck pickup produces warm, vintage-flavored leads, while the Quantum middle pickup adds snarl and attitude to rhythms. For searing solos, the Quantum bridge pickup unleashes high-output crunch with excellent note separation. With a 5-way switch, you can blend the pickups and shape your tone for everything from clean arpeggios to heavy distorted riffing.

Enhance Playability With Jatoba Fingerboard

The RG470DX features a jatoba fingerboard with jumbo frets and pearl sharktooth inlays for excellent playability. Jatoba offers a dense, rigid feel that enhances note articulation and makes string bending smooth and responsive. The large pearloid sharktooth inlays provide great visual references while you're shredding up and down the neck. With its 16" fingerboard radius, the Ibanez stays comfortable during intricate solos and speedy passages.

Stay in Tune Using the Double Locking Tremolo

No matter how aggressively you use the whammy bar, the RG470DX's double locking tremolo system keeps your guitar sounding pitch perfect. The knife-edge bridge saddles add precision to the tuning stability, while the sturdy steel base plate provides a rock-solid foundation for dive bombs, flutter effects and other radical techniques.
