The Ibanez S470 in Deep Violet Flat is a sleek, lightweight guitar from the S Series, originally produced in South Korea in the early 2000s. Its sculpted mahogany body is famously slim and contoured, making it incredibly comfortable to play whether you’re standing or sitting. The matte Deep Violet finish gives it a subtle, understated look while still showing off the curves of the body, and the bolt-on maple neck adds stability without taking away from its smooth feel.

The neck is built for speed, using a three-piece maple construction shaped into Ibanez’s thin Wizard II profile. With a 25.5-inch scale and a rosewood fingerboard fitted with 22 jumbo frets, it feels fast and responsive under the fingers, ideal for both technical playing and fluid lead work. The locking nut and die-cast tuners help keep everything in tune, while the All Access Neck Joint makes reaching the higher frets feel natural and unrestricted.

Tonally, it offers a wide range thanks to its HSH pickup setup, blending two humbuckers with a single-coil in the middle. Controlled by a master volume, tone, and a 5-way selector, it can cover everything from thick, driven tones to brighter, more cutting sounds. The ZR double-locking tremolo system, complete with a stabiliser, allows for expressive pitch work while maintaining solid tuning stability, rounding out a guitar that’s built for versatility and performance.
