Ibanez Rg470 Japan
The best variant of the 470 with the original edge trem and original wizard neck. 1993 model. In near immaculate condition, barring the obligatory paint line crack where the neck joins the body. Frets are 95%+. The bridge pickup was swapped for a v2 from another jap ibanez from the era. Jewel blue finish. Same colour as the one used by cc deville where he played that absolutely horrible live guitar solo. Ya know the oneš¤ Probably not the guitars fault...
Goes in non original hard case
The 1993 Ibanez RG470 was primarily produced in Japan by FujiGen (often considered part of the "Golden Era" of Ibanez) and served as a more affordable alternative to the RG570, sharing many of the same high-quality components.

The RG470 was made in Japan for the first two years of its production (1992-1993). During this time the RG470 had an Ibanez Edge tremolo and older style square neck-joint with neck plate. It also had exactly the same pickups as the RG550 and RG570: an IBZ V7 humbucker at the neck, an IBZ S1 single coil and an IBZ V8 humbucker at the bridge. The body was basswood with a Wizard profile maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and dot position markers.
From 1994 onwards production moved to Korea. The tremolo was changed to a Lo TRS II, pickups were changed to Infinity and the neck profile changed. The Korean made RG470s were available in the USA until 1998, and until 2000 in Europe and Japan
