Ibanez RG470XL Reviews2 Found On 2003-05-16, SUPERdown RITUAL gave this Ibanez Electric Guitar a 5...(4859)
Purchase: Bought it online at SameDayMusic.com, I wanted a good quality guitar that had something more to offer than just a regular guitar, for 350$
Pros: I like the body shape, very comfortable, I hated my Warlock when it came to play sitting down. I like the 27 Inch scale, you want heavy? I tuned it to D-D and its a killer machine, plus the floating tremolo really allows you to go into deep woods with this guitar. I wonder what will happen once I put some heavy gauge strings on this baby.
Cons: At this point, its all good, but I only had it for less than a day, played it for about 5 hours. I guess the floating tremolo gives you a little pain in the ass once it gets to tuning, since you have to go atleast 2 rounds of tuning to completely tune the guitar.
Quality: The body is a little smaller than my Warlock, but its much more rugged and I think will be scratchless for another 10 years! Dont we all wish that? Summary: Considering that Ibanez stopped making these XL 27 scale neck series, and that the regular sized RG's sell for 450+ and these ones for 350$, I grabbed onto this one like a parasyte and I wont let go of this guitar for a while. The pickups are EMG's but theyre heavy! I tuned this guitar to D and it sounds sick, cant wait till I put some heavy gauge strings in there, man will I kick some ass!

Purchase: I ordered it from Music123.com and paid almost $600 for it.
Pros: This guitar is awesome, I mean it's almost perfect for being an average $500 guitar.
The Wizard II 27 inch scale neck is REALLY comfortable and provides higher string tension for low tunings.
The pick ups sounds really good, it has 2 humbuckers(V8 and V7) and a single coil(S1), they are perfect for playing heavy metal.
Cons: There are really few thing that I donīt like of this guitar.
One of them is that it weights too much!!!
And the other is that I canīt learn how to use the floyd rose yet :( 'cos I bought it two weeks ago.
Quality: The guitar is made of basswood, It is really well done in every litlle detail.
The floyd rose is a "Lo trs brigde" wich is a licensed low profile floating tremelo woth die cast sanddes.
It has 24 frets.
2 humbuckers (V7 and V8) and a single coil(S1) designed to work with humbuckers in the middle position.
Summary: I thing that for the price is an awesome guitar, perfect for heavy metal!!!
It is not one of the most expensives Ibanez but I thing is one of the best.
Not cheap not to expensive, but the it worts the money.
