Ibanez RG470PBREB Standard Electric Guitar - Red Eclipse Burst

The RG470PB has been a cornerstone of the mid-range RG lineup for a reason — it delivers the things the platform is actually known for without cutting corners where it matters. Wizard III neck, Edge-Zero II locking tremolo, HSH Quantum configuration, 24 frets. The Red Eclipse Burst finish on a poplar burl top makes this particular version look considerably more exotic than its price suggests.

The Wizard III is Ibanez's thin, flat, and fast neck profile, built for extended technique and high-fret access without fighting the instrument. The jatoba fretboard contributes a reddish-brown character with rich midrange response and a crisp high end — Ibanez's own characterization, and an accurate one if you've spent time with the material. Jumbo frets round out a package that's clearly designed for players who want as little resistance as possible between their hands and the fretboard.

The Edge-Zero II is a lower-profile floating tremolo with a stud lock function that lets you lock the bridge in place when you want the tuning stability of a hardtail. Quantum humbuckers in the neck and bridge position are ceramic, with a quick low-end response and precise note definition at speed — the Alnico middle single-coil fills in the 5-way switching positions for cleaner, more open tones when you need them. One volume, one tone, and a 5-way blade handle the rest.

This is a rock and metal guitar with a straightforward value proposition. It plays fast, stays in tune, and comes in a finish that earns a second look.
