Quick Product Summary

The Ibanez RG470PB-REB in Red Eclipse Burst combines the fast, performance-focused feel of the legendary RG design with a striking Poplar Burl top and versatile H-S-H electronics. Its slim Wizard III maple neck, 24-fret Jatoba fingerboard and sculpted double-cutaway body make it particularly comfortable for technical rhythm and lead playing.

Three Ibanez Quantum pickups provide everything from powerful humbucker tones to clearer single-coil textures, while the Edge-Zero II double-locking tremolo offers the stability and control required for expressive pitch effects. The deep Red Eclipse Burst finish and black hardware complete a modern, aggressive look.

What Makes the Ibanez RG470PB-REB Special?

The visual centrepiece is its Poplar Burl top, which gives the RG470PB a distinctive natural grain beneath the Red Eclipse Burst finish. Underneath, the familiar RG formula remains firmly performance-focused, combining a slim Wizard III maple neck with a flat 400 mm fingerboard radius and 24 jumbo frets.

Its Quantum H-S-H pickup layout also makes the RG470PB more versatile than a conventional twin-humbucker guitar. A five-way selector accesses full humbuckers alongside combined single-coil-style settings, while the Edge-Zero II bridge provides the double-locking stability needed for everything from gentle vibrato to more dramatic tremolo techniques.

Who Is It For?

The RG470PB-REB is an excellent choice for guitarists looking for fast playability, versatile electronics and an expressive locking tremolo.

It is particularly well suited to:

• Rock and metal guitarists
• Progressive and technical players
• Lead and shred styles
• Fast modern rhythm playing
• Players who regularly use tremolo effects
• Guitarists wanting H-S-H versatility
• Studio and live performance
