MGR/MetallicaRulez « Ibanez RG470 »
Published on 11/15/02 at 15:00I bought this guitar at Guitar Center for $520 after trying out on my amp at the store, an Marshall AVT50 Combo.
You can get a real wide variety of tones out of this guitar, blues, rock, but mainly metal, this guitar is great for shredding, which I do alot of and the openig fade to black solo sounds perfect with the neck pickup, this guitar is great for Metallica, Megadeth, or Slayer. At first the neck felt pretty clumsy to me but now it feals pretty good.
This guitar doesn't have fretboard that u can slide your fingers up and down on, sometimes your fingers just stop on one of the frets. The neck feels pretty good, but I can play a lot faster on a PRS, a Gibson, and the more expensive Jacksons, but all those are over $1000 dollar guitars.
the paint on the body chips really easy, i've hade the guitar for like 5 months and there's already a bunch of chips on it, and it takes about half an hour to change strings, but after that a string never goes out of tune or rarely brakes.
shredding and fast hard solos sound great on this guitar but the quality of everything on it isnt that great, but this is an awsome guitar for the price
