The Ibanez RG470DXB carries forward the legendary RG legacy with a design built for speed, precision, and aggressive performance. Forged through decades of metal and high-performance playing, the RG series has become one of the most recognizable electric guitar platforms in the world, trusted by players who demand fast playability, versatile tone, and rock-solid stability.
At the heart of the RG470DXB is the renowned Wizard III Maple neck, engineered with Ibanez’s signature thin, flat, and fast profile for effortless playability across the entire fretboard. The 24-fret, two-octave design provides expanded range for technical solos, intricate riffs, and expressive lead work. Paired with a Jatoba fretboard, the guitar delivers warm mids with crisp highs, while jumbo frets enhance comfort and precision during fast single-note passages and bends.
The Meranti body produces a balanced tone with a naturally scooped midrange and sweet overall character, making it ideal for a variety of modern playing styles. Equipped with Ibanez Quantum H-S-H pickups, the RG470DXB offers articulate note definition, quick low-end response, and a full-bodied tonal range capable of handling everything from clean passages to high-gain aggression.
The Edge-Zero II tremolo system provides smooth performance with excellent tuning stability. Its low-profile design increases playing comfort, while the stud lock function helps maintain reliable tuning even during aggressive tremolo use.
Built for players who thrive on speed, versatility, and stage-ready performance, the RG470DXB delivers the unmistakable feel and power that have defined the RG series for generations.
