Ibanez RG470DXFM Electric Guitar – Cherry Sunburst

The Ibanez RG470DXFM is a fast, modern RG electric guitar finished in Cherry Sunburst, with a flamed maple top, meranti body, H-S-H pickup layout and Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge.

It is built for players who want the classic Ibanez RG feel: slim neck, 24 frets, easy upper-fret access and a flexible pickup setup that can handle rock, metal, lead playing, rhythm work and more technical styles.

The Cherry Sunburst finish and flamed maple top give it a bold look, while the Cosmo Black hardware keeps it sharp and modern.

What Does It Actually Sound Like?

The RG470DXFM uses an H-S-H Quantum pickup layout, giving you a wide range of sounds from one guitar.

The humbuckers are good for heavier rhythm tones, lead sounds and fuller driven amp settings, while the middle single coil adds extra clarity and more versatile in-between tones. That makes it more flexible than a simple two-humbucker guitar.

It is a strong choice if you want one electric guitar that can cover heavier music, lead playing, practice, lessons and home recording without feeling limited.

Why Choose an Ibanez RG?

The RG shape is one of Ibanez’s best-known electric guitar designs.

It is comfortable, fast-feeling and well suited to modern playing. The Wizard III maple neck has a thin, flat profile, making it a good choice for players who like quicker movement across the fretboard.

With 24 jumbo frets and a 25.5" scale length, it gives you plenty of range for solos, riffs and more technical playing.

Edge-Zero II Tremolo Bridge

The RG470DXFM is fitted with an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge and locking nut.

This gives you the option to use tremolo effects, dives and pitch movement while still keeping the setup more stable than a basic tremolo system. It is especially useful for rock and metal players who want expressive lead options.

As with any locking tremolo system, it may need more setup care than a fixed bridge guitar, especially when changing string gauges or tunings.

Who Is It For?

This is a good choice for rock and metal players, lead guitarists, students moving up from a beginner guitar and anyone who wants a fast Ibanez with a more serious tremolo setup.

It also works well as a versatile stage or practice guitar thanks to the H-S-H pickup layout and 24-fret neck.

If you want the simplest possible guitar to maintain, a fixed bridge model may be easier. But if you want an RG with fast playability, flexible pickups and tremolo capability, the RG470DXFM is a very strong option.

Not Sure If This Is the Right Guitar?

The Ibanez RG470DXFM is a good choice if you want a fast-playing electric guitar with 24 frets, H-S-H pickups and a locking tremolo bridge.

It is especially suited to rock, metal and lead playing, but the pickup layout gives it enough flexibility for wider styles too. If you want a simpler setup with less maintenance, a fixed bridge guitar may be easier. If you want tremolo options and classic RG playability, this is a strong choice.
