It's a brand-new, never-owned guitar straight from Ibanez that just happens to have a small cosmetic note from the factory — more on that below. The guitar itself is everything the RG series is known for: a fast neck, a reliable locking tremolo, and a pickup configuration versatile enough to handle metal, rock, and plenty in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RG470DX is part of Ibanez's RG Standard lineup — a line that's been a fixture in rock and metal for decades. This is the 2024 model, which brings the upgraded Edge-Zero II tremolo to the mix alongside the classic RG body silhouette in a deep, gloss Tokyo Midnight purple finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur licensed tech will set it up for you before it ships, so it arrives ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Speed — The Wizard III Neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third-generation Wizard III neck is one of the defining reasons players reach for an RG. It's a 3-piece maple neck with an extremely thin, flat profile that keeps your hand relaxed whether you're doing chord work or blazing through single-note runs. The satin polyurethane finish on the back of the neck keeps things smooth without any stickiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with the neck is a jatoba fretboard — a dense, reddish-brown wood with a crisp, articulate feel. The 400mm (roughly 15.75\") radius is relatively flat compared to many vintage-style guitars, which makes bending and fast lead work noticeably easier. You get 24 jumbo frets for full two-octave range, with pearl sharktooth inlays that are both practical for reference and genuinely look great on the dark board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale length is the standard 25.5\" (648mm), and the locking nut width comes in at 43mm — a comfortable, medium-slim profile that works well for a wide range of hand sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHSH Pickups and 5-Way Switching\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RG470DX runs an HSH Quantum pickup set — two ceramic humbuckers at the neck and bridge, with an alnico single-coil in the middle position. Ceramic-loaded humbuckers tend to be tighter and more aggressive on the high end, which suits the RG's hard-rock and metal personality. The alnico middle single-coil opens things up for cleaner tones and adds some shimmer when blended through the 5-way selector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switching setup gives you five distinct voice options: full neck humbucker, neck\/middle blend, middle single-coil alone, middle\/bridge blend, and full bridge humbucker. Volume and tone controls keep the electronics simple — you're not fighting menus, just playing. All pickups are passive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEdge-Zero II Tremolo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 RG470DX upgrade worth noting is the Edge-Zero II bridge. It's Ibanez's double-locking tremolo system with a lower-profile design for playing comfort and a stud-lock function that aids tuning stability when the arm isn't in use. The knife-edge saddles and steel base plate are built to handle everything from subtle vibrato to full dive-bombs while returning accurately to pitch. Combined with the locking nut, this is a genuinely reliable setup for players who use the bar regularly. Hardware throughout is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody: Meranti, solid body construction, gloss polyurethane finish in Tokyo Midnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck: 3-piece Wizard III Maple, bolt-on, satin polyurethane finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard: Jatoba, 400mm radius, 24 jumbo frets, pearl sharktooth inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648mm); Nut width: 43mm locking nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickups: Quantum HSH — (H) neck passive\/ceramic, (S) middle passive\/alnico, (H) bridge passive\/ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Edge-Zero II double-locking tremolo with stud-lock function\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: 1 volume, 1 tone, 5-way pickup selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware color: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory strings: D'Addario EXL120 (.009–.042)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is a \"B-Stock Guitar\" directly from the manufacturer.
