Ibanez RG470PB RG Standard - Red Eclipse Burst

Ibanez RG470PB – Electric Guitar in Red Eclipse Burst

Construction and Neck

The RG470PB is part of the Ibanez Standard series. The body is made of meranti with a poplar burl top, resulting in a relatively lightweight construction with a balanced frequency response across the entire range. This makes the wood versatile in tone and suitable for both clean and distorted sounds. The neck features the Wizard III profile, which is slightly thicker and rounder than the standard Wizard, with a 400 mm radius. It is equipped with 24 jumbo frets on a jatoba fingerboard with white dot inlays.

Electronics and Bridge

The guitar is equipped with three Quantum pickups: humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions and a single coil in the middle. These are controlled via a 5-way switch with shared tone and volume controls. The bridge is the Ibanez Edge-Zero II tremolo, which provides good tuning stability.

Pickup Switch Positions

The switch offers combinations of series wiring and coil splitting. Coil splitting means that one coil of the humbucker is turned off to create a single coil sound with half the output. In these positions, the active coil is wired in parallel with the middle pickup, producing a cleaner and more open sound with clearer bass response, suitable for both clean and slightly overdriven tones.
