If you’re a shredder looking for something special, then the Ibanez RG470PBNTF is the guitar for you. It is a limited edition Poplar Burl topped RG with some special flavouring.
Ibanez RGs have been one of the favourite guitar choices for shredders for decades. This is because the RG has a fast neck and a profile designed specifically for comfort and speed. The RG has come to be known as a no-nonsense shred machine.
In addition to being a shredders dream, the RG has great tone. It is the kind of guitar that be can use in a variety of music; from Djent and Prog to Jazz and Rock. This is a guitar with great sonic range.
Furthermore, the guitar is incredibly lightweight. This means that you can wear the guitar for hours without too much discomfort. The guitar body is made of mahogany, and the top is poplar burl. This wood combination gives the Ibanez RG470PBNTF more “chunk” than you would be accustomed to with other RGs.
The neck is the Wizard III maple neck. This is the neck type that RG players around the world have come to expect. It is thin, fast and will allow you to stay in complete control as you play. At no point will you ever feel like you’re fighting the neck to get notes to ring out. Just bear in mind that if you’ve never played on a Wizard neck before, the first time you try it out will feel a little off.
Electronics
Ibanez has been wiring their own pickups for decades. While their pickups lack some of the spark or grunts of top-end pickups like Seymour Duncan’s or Bare Knuckles, they are still pretty good. The stock pickups tend to be a jack of all trades affair. Because of this, if you want the guitar for a single purpose machine, it might be worth investing in some aftermarket pickups.
