MGR/Dr.VanNostren « Ibanez RG470 »
Published on 04/12/03 at 15:00I bought this guitar for Guitar Center in Rockville for $300 used, new it costs $500. I bought it mainly because of the pickups and neck.
Almost everything. Mainly the pickups and the neck. It has a wizard neck, which compared to my old guitar(Squier Strat) lets me play up to twice as fast. The pickups are great too. Two humbucking pickups, one at the neck one at the bridge, and a single coil in the middle. Great lead sound on the neck pickup, and the bride humbucker is great for rythym. With a five way pickup switch, you can get almost any desired sound. With the Floyd Rose tremelo system, the string stay in tune much longer, although it is harder to change them.
The only problem with this guitar is the middle single coil pickup hums a little, but hardly enough to be noticed. Also the jack for the cord is a little lose, but that may just be a problem woth my particular guitar.
The construction is great on this guitar, good finish, lightweight.
This guitar is great for intermediate players. When you buy it make sure you know how to use the Floyd Rose Tremelo system, dont worry you'll get it
