I'm glad Ibanez is putting out some bold new shapes to see what sticks. I could see this new Halberd design as being a classic shape that could be used again in many different incarnations, including a more subdued instrument for more classic rock folks, something like a Halberd shape with more of an Iceman influence on the rest of the aesthetic...
All in all I think the Ibanez SV5470 is a great guitar for someone who wants a great, lightweight guitar in that classic Ibanez S tradition without having to deal with the pains of a locking tremolo system. The Ibanez non locking bridge stays in tune fairly well... though if you try to do Steve Vai trick with the bar you will have to retune! It'...
Playability is the thing on this axe. Balance is also great, and the guitar is very light. The Poplar Burl wood is very attractive, but isn't for everyone. Anyone looking for a versatile axe that can shred with the best of them, yet is on a budget, would do well to look into these guitars from Ibanez.
I really like the simplicity and playability, which is something I didn't really expect from Joe Satch artist guitar. It's a really well made axe too despite the fact that I don't think it's a Prestige model. If you want that lead tone he gets this is ticket. The price is appropriate considering the hardware onboard.
This is a great axe for anyone wanting to get their shred demons out. The guitar just begs to be played fast, but with soulful bends everywhere. It is a lead guitarist's dream guitar, and it does the job nicely.
This is a nice instrument all the way around. And this blue is out of this world! It looks like one could dive right inside, it is so deep! The gorgeousness of the finish, great playability of the neck, and smoothness of the tremolo garnered high marks from me overall. Recommended.
With guitars like these Ibanez is getting more and more into what the modern metal guitar market is like. Nowadays you cant just sell a guitar on its playability. Just about every guitar nowadays plays well. You need to play and sound well out of the box nowadays and a guitar liek this with active pickups is more like what the competition is off...
These guitars have been discontinued now for quite some time so the only way to get one is in the use classifieds online or in many forums. This is a cool guitar for the money but I honestly find that many of the newer Ibanez models feature some great features and are much more accessible guitars. This is a great guitar if you can find o...
When you find a crazy deal like this you should pick it up. Everyone always rags on Ibanez for putting such garbage pickups in their guitars and now there is a model that is reasonably priced with pickups that everyone likes. These guitars arent in stock at a lot of places and for good reason. If you are looking for a nice low priced metal guita...
This is a marvelous instrument. Ibanez has been known for making great guitars for a long time, but I feel that the 80s and 90s were their golden era for extremely playable axes. There are still a lot of these guitars out there, so finding one shouldn't be too difficult, and it would be well worth the effort to do so just for the neck alone.
