Ibanez - RG470DX-SFM Seafoam Green Matte
The RG470DX-SFM Seafoam Green Matte electric guitar from Ibanez combines aggression, precision and playability. Designed for fans of speed and riffs that don't hold back, this version of the RG Standard series features Meranti construction, a double-locked Edge-Zero II vibrato bridge and a trio of Quantum pickups in HSH configuration. The flat, tapered Wizard III maple neck is complemented by a Jatoba fingerboard with sharktooth markings and 24 jumbo frets. The RG470DX-SFM is a loyal partner for those who like to be heard without asking permission, thanks to its playing comfort, tuning stability and sonic responsiveness. Put on your strap and let your fingers do the talking: it's ready and waiting.
Presentation
Beneath its frothy green, matte finish lies a racing beast ready to pounce. The trio of Quantum pickups in HSH configuration are surgically responsive: fast attack in the lows, clear definition in the mids and controlled brilliance in the highs. Whether you're shredding a big riff or tapping one shot after another, every nuance comes through with stunning precision.
Those who like to wander all over the place will love the Wizard III neck. Slim, flat and 25.5 inches long, this typical Ibanez profile fits the hand perfectly without ever giving the impression of having a classical guitar neck stuck between your fingers. Add to that 24 well-aligned jumbo frets, a generous 400 mm radius, and a Jatoba fingerboard that's both dense and snappy...
You're all set to make your leads roar or your arpeggios unfold with an amazing naturalness. In short, you'll spend less time fighting and more time playing.
The Meranti body provides an interesting tonal balance, with fleshy midrange and beautiful resonance. Combined with the black hardware and typical sharktooth markings, there's nothing shy about the look of this RG470DX-SFM.
It's an eye-catcher without being a pressure cooker.
And that's just as well: this kind of instrument will never overshadow you.

To find out more...
It's just as suited to curious beginners as it is to regular shredders who don't want to sell a kidney for the pleasure of playing.
It's an instrument for the stage, the studio, the bedroom... wherever you want to make some noise.
To complete your set, consider a gain-oriented amp like the Boss Katana, or a compact multi-effect like the Line 6 HX Stomp.
A padded case like the Ibanez Powerpad is a must for travelling.
And if you're the sort of person who breaks strings in the middle of a song, a spare set of 9/42s will save you from ending the concert as a mime.
