An RG at the Heart of Ibanez's "Shred" DNA
Part of the RG lineage, the RG470PB-REB incorporates the elements that made the series successful: immediate playability, easy access to the upper frets, and a performance-oriented design. Its modern aesthetic, driven by the flamed poplar top and Red Eclipse Burst finish, clearly targets guitarists seeking an electric guitar built for the stage and heavy styles, without sacrificing versatility.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The RG470PB-REB is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a responsive, comfortable guitar suited for fast techniques (alternate picking, sweep picking, tapping). It excels in modern metal, hard rock, prog, and fusion, while remaining comfortable when sharper and more defined tones are needed thanks to its HSS configuration.
Tone
The poplar body provides effective balance and a clear response, ideal for tight and articulate distortion. The jatoba fingerboard adds attack and precision, highlighting palm mutes and articulation in fast playing, while the 24 jumbo frets promote smooth playability and comfortable bends.
On the electronics side, the Quantum HSS pickups offer true versatility: the humbucker in the bridge position delivers a modern, powerful sound suited for heavy riffs, while the single coils provide more clarity and definition for precise rhythms, arpeggios, or more nuanced passages. The Edge-Zero II double locking tremolo completes the setup by securing tuning stability during expressive playing, even with heavy tremolo use.

Questions frequently asked
Ibanez RG470PB-REB: is it suitable for metal and hard rock?
The Quantum H-S-H configuration combines two ceramic humbuckers with a central alnico single-coil pickup. The humbuckers provide output level and definition under distortion, while the middle pickup allows access to more articulate clean tones.
Does the Floyd Edge-Zero II hold tuning?
The Edge-Zero II bridge is paired with a locking nut to enhance tuning stability during wide vibratos and dive bombs. Its low profile is designed to remain comfortable under the hand. The factory tuning is standard E, with .009-.042 gauge strings.
What string gauge should be used on this RG?
The factory setup uses .009, .011, .016, .024, .032, and .042 strings. An electric string set 9-42, such as the D'Addario EXL120 mentioned, allows the original setup to be maintained.
