OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, and frankly, not disappointed ...
I tried a total of 25 or 30 guitars ...
What I like most is the "mouth" that "she, sound, and comfort of play ..
price / quality ratio excellent ....
Looking back, I would do this choice with eyes closed ...
This is the cheapest guitar I bought, and yet it is immediately become my favorite ...

This is the Japanese model left base.
2 humbuckers (neck and bridge) and a simple
I changed the micro double by a tone zone in bridge and a paf pro in neck
Floyd bridge.
2 settings: tone and volume.
5 position pickup selector.
Finish: black.

UTILIZATION

So she very nice, the neck is thin and slippery, the shape is comfortable enough to play standing or sitting.
Access to acute no problem.
In terms of obtaining good, I'd say it depends on who plays mostly .

SOUNDS

This guitar really suits my playing style (heavy metal, funk)
I especially on cheeks v amp and a behringer blue devil from home.
The sound is very correct with the original pickups, but if you want more heat and more power: pafpro. If you want more aggression: tone zone.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years now, including a year with my new microphone. I recommended to all who want metalheads left still have bluesy sound or light hot enough.

Plus: round, shape, original pickups.

Cons: this model of vibrato is quite capricious, despite the blocked strings tune it often enough that I serve or not floyd ... But this is not necessarily good vibrato of rolling ball Vigier Excalibur (we will see later, when I could play)

Fafrique Japan
24 frets and 1 single coil 2Double
pink floyd
1 volume knob, 1 Tone knob

UTILIZATION

Handle very end, which facilitates fast games (legato etc. ..)
CHAC is fairly easy to acute
not too big easy to take over
the original sound and versatile enough, lacks a bit of personality

SOUNDS

I use it mainly for playing melodic metal with an amp (rack) and a marshall preamp Marshall (JMP1) have changed the pickups for the beginners, about 7 years (pro 1paff of the handle and a DiMarzio Evolution bridge cot HS1 and center) bridge pickup gives me a very big sound, but too big to clear the funk or lg.

OVERALL OPINION

Assay after having a yamaha, gibson, my choice is port on it as with the original microphone is very versatile (and more I am left if I had I would not hesitate recommancer or view a micro most versatile easel.

Japanese guitar, trs flat handle 24 cases, 2 doubles and a single ibanez, tremolo licensed under Floyd, mechanical clutch, 1 volume, 1 Tone

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable, fairly flat, a bit wide
a real motorway: D
Access in acute, like all Ibanez of this kind, excellent
Ergonomics is also excellent, the instrument is very well quilibrbr /> combinations of pickups make the sound palette trs wide and is very easy to find a good sound
only regret, the floyd, the trs bad bill, I have to change it after 3 years
taient compltement bloody knives, and attacked the scrap

So 4 for the vibrato

SOUNDS

The sounds are a bit cold in the sense that the instrument pout do everything and anything
a small change of microphones should remdier this problem
That said, it is ultra versatile, and sounds ranging from funk to hard rock
even when she is fawn for schredders, given the shape of its handle, and is a bit bland for the blues
That said, with a little finger you get things not too bad
and then plugged into a amp lamps ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for 6 or 7 years possde, it is still well trs
plugs into a classic 30, a sone a lot ..
but the vibrato is a real pain
so as to note 7
I would do this choice but I would change immediately vibrato, and may be even the microphones, with HS6 in acute and severe in sh4
to cap it all, a Tex-Mex in Central!

Model: 1997 made in Korea so
Bridge: Floyd
Neck: Rosewood 24 frets
Micro Original: INF1 (bridge) INF2 (handle) INFS1 (single center)
1 volume, 1 tone, dial a 5-level
I just bought a micro Seymour Duncan SH4 in bridge and a Dimarzio air micro notron dp 193 to the handle (I do not know what it's going to, because I've never seen this setup ...)

UTILIZATION

Flat handle, regular, perfect access to acute (the benefits of a superstrate which ...).

SOUNDS

This gives the sound you want to have Ibanez as no real character ... it is a quality guitar with a violin impeccable, I find it lacks a bit of sustain, we must stir a finger if you want to keep the reason! In contrast, artificial harmonics out fairly easily, but the microphones did not adequately relay ... On the solo beat it it comes out very small, that's why I change the pickups (I like when the harmonics scream to death ...)

I use an amplifier with hybrid H & K ATTAX 100 (lamp preamp) and a Boss GT 6 then it's just a slaughter of International pxxxxx which we never talk to ... and found - 200 € everywhere!

It's also nice to have a little extra out Mexican fender telecaster blues blues sound with more soul, or a more slamming ... The small paul (where Epiphone Gibson) could also fill the gap. I can not get a sound suitable for playing Led Zeppelin, for example

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 years (uh here it makes me feel like I'm old)

I played on many other models of all brands: Jackson, Fender, Lag ... The guitar is the most playable and most versatile that I tested, but also one of those who had less soul ... I still advise (even if it is no longer produced! )

The cost was about 4000 francs 15 years ago, when adjusted for inflation, this guitar would cost close to € 1000 today! So when I read an argus to € 275 ... at that price you have to be mentally retarded not to jump at the chance ...

While some of the RG-470s were made in Japan, most of them were moved over to Korea. The model I'm referring to in this review will be the Korean model. It features a basswood body, 24 fret maple neck with rosewood fretboard, HSH configuration, volume pot, tone pot and 5 way switch. The one notable difference between this and the RG-570 is the Lo TRS trem.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is put together decently, but I find the fretwork to be very hit or miss. The biggest issue I have with these guitars is the horrible bridge. It's made out of really weak metal, and it tends to not sound or act nearly as nice as the Edge trem that was found on the RG-570. Given that it's a budget Korean model, it's somewhat to be expected. The All Access Neck Joint is a very nice feature that I was glad to find on these models, so that's a plus. However, the electronics are pretty horrible, so you might want to replace the switch and pots.

SOUNDS

The body woods on these can be very hit or miss. Most of them are decent, but a lot of them are total dogs. Even with a pickup swap, the guitars might not meet the expectations that some have with a higher end Japanese Ibanez. A lot of the models I played simply made me want to drop it and play the RG-570 instead.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for a budget Ibanez, instead of looking at this model, try to find a used RG-570 or something along those lines. You'll be much better off in the long run as it'll most likely have better fretwork, sound better, and it WILL have a much better tremolo that'll stay in tune no matter what abuse you throw at it.
