The Ibanez Standard RG470DXB-WH: High-Performance Precision in a Striking, Exclusive Finish
For musicians looking to command the stage with an instrument that embodies decades of high-performance engineering, the Ibanez Standard RG470DXB in a pristine White finish stands as an absolute triumph. Forged through generations of metal, prog, and hard rock evolution, the iconic RG silhouette is recognized worldwide for its zero-compromise playability. This specific model elevates the classic formula by contrasting a clean, aggressive aesthetic with blacked-out hardware and pickups, offering an elegant yet fierce look optimized for players who want to stand out during live performances and studio tracking.
The sonic core of the RG470DXB relies on a solid meranti body. Renowned for its balanced foundational voice, meranti provides a tight low end and a naturally scooped midrange that allows your tone to remain crisp and distinct when competing with heavy bass and percussion lines. Bolted to this body is Ibanez’s signature Wizard III maple neck. Celebrated for its ultra-thin, flat, and fast profile, the neck minimizes hand fatigue and encourages effortless position shifts across two full octaves. The fast neck is paired with a rich, mid-focused jatoba fingerboard with crisp white binding, accommodating 24 jumbo frets that maximize control during rapid sweep-picking runs, wide vibrato, and dramatic pitch bends. This fingerboard is topped off with classic Ibanez sharktooth inlays, injecting an unmistakable edge into the instrument’s design.
Equipped with a versatile HSH pickup array, the RG470DXB acts as a sonic chameleon under heavy gain or sparkling cleans. It features a pair of high-output Ibanez Quantum humbuckers direct-mounted to the body at the neck and bridge, flanking a Quantum single-coil in the center. These ceramic and alnico pickups are engineered for lightning-quick low-end tracking and punchy midrange projection, ensuring complex chords remain articulate even under heavy saturation. A 5-way blade switch allows you to tap into everything from bell-like hybrid cleans to snarling rhythm distortion. For total mechanical freedom, the guitar features the double-locking Edge-Zero II tremolo system. Its low-profile design ensures your picking hand remains comfortable, while the advanced locking engineering guarantees rock-solid tuning stability through punishing dive-bombs and aggressive flutters.
