Ibanez RG470DX-WCA

The Ibanez RG470DX-WCA is an RG Standard electric guitar built around Ibanez's fast-playing RG platform, combining a slim Wizard III neck with versatile H-S-H electronics and a double-locking tremolo system. It features a Meranti body, Jatoba fretboard with Sharktooth inlays, and 24 jumbo frets. The 648 mm (25.5") scale and flat 400 mm radius provide a familiar setup for fast rhythm work, lead playing and technical styles. (Ibanez)

The guitar uses three Ibanez Quantum pickups in an H-S-H configuration: ceramic Quantum humbuckers at the neck and bridge, with an Alnico Quantum single-coil in the middle. Its 5-way selector offers five pickup combinations, including the individual humbuckers, middle pickup and combined positions. The Quantum pickups are designed for quick low-end response and clear note definition, making the guitar suitable for both articulate clean tones and higher-gain applications. (Ibanez)

The RG470DX-WCA is equipped with an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge with 10.8 mm string spacing and a locking nut. The lower-profile bridge design and stud-lock function are intended to provide comfortable tremolo operation and improved tuning stability. The WCA finish is White with a contrasting black hardware configuration, giving the guitar a clean RG appearance. It is fitted with D'Addario EXL120 strings and uses a durable mono-unit output jack.
