Ibanez RG470DX-SFM

The Ibanez RG470DX-SFM is an RG Standard electric guitar built around Ibanez's fast-playing RG platform. It features a Wizard III Maple neck, a Meranti body and a Jatoba fretboard with Sharktooth inlays. The 648 mm (25.5") scale length and 24 jumbo frets provide a comfortable setup for fast rhythm work, lead playing and technical techniques. The SFM version features a Sea Foam Green Matte finish. (Ibanez)

The guitar uses an H-S-H Quantum pickup configuration, combining a passive ceramic Quantum humbucker at the neck, a passive Alnico Quantum single-coil in the middle and a passive ceramic Quantum humbucker at the bridge. A 5-way pickup selector provides five pickup combinations, giving the guitar flexibility across clean, crunch and high-gain sounds. The simple volume and tone controls keep the interface straightforward for live and studio use. (Ibanez)

For tremolo performance, the RG470DX-SFM is equipped with an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge with 10.8 mm string spacing and a locking nut. The bridge incorporates a lower-profile design and stud-lock function intended to improve playing comfort and tuning stability. Black hardware complements the Sea Foam Green Matte finish, while the guitar comes factory-fitted with D'Addario EXL120 strings. (Ibanez)
