One of the best reviews for RG470 (370) that I have seen. Very informative and objective on all relevant aspects. I bought this guitar as my 2nd Ibanez for good quality for the price, maple neck and stunning looks, and i like it very much. Thank you for this review.
Very tasty playing! I came here looking for a reason not to buy this beautiful guitar, but I think you just sold me instead haha. I'll play it stock for a long time before I grab some interesting pickups ;)
I'M very upset they changed to a wizard lll neckbon these guitars ! Unless you have an older one!! I just got rid off a beautiful Rg470mbAfm becuase I had no idea that Ibanez switched out the necks a few years ago . I have really small hands and the Wizard ll was perfect for me . Just a heads up for everyone !! The current specs for the newer, lower end Rg Ibbys state they come with wizard lll .
Great video review! Great playing! But your narration is off the scale!!! You do sing I hope! You could read the phone book and it'd be worthy of a standing ovation!!!! I'm.subscribing Thanks for this review
Love mine. Had it since 97. Replaced the Trem humbucker with a SD Screaming Demon. Sounded best through an Ultra-Plus head and Marshall cabinet. I miss that stack
Great review, perfectly edited and narrated! Awesome playing, btw, and I agree with every one of your choices of heros!! I'm sold now, gonna order one of the 2019 models very soon. Thanks again!!
Thank You Mr. Chad Morris for your review on the Ibanez RG470AHM, I am getting this Guitar along with an ESP LTD-400M Mahogany 2 of my hopefully all time favorite Guitars I will use on stage with my Girlfriend who also plays Guitar over in the UK that I will hopefully be seeing in the next 5 - 7 months.
Looking at the photos of the bridge, I can see that it is plainly out of alignment....I hope you had it set up correctly! I have been using Floyd Rose bridges since the 80's.... I'm considering purchasing a new Ibanez.... Enjoy 😉
Nice review. My friend has one and he really likes it. He kept the humbuckers as he liked them but changed the single coil to a seymour duncan as he thought it was too quiet
Thanks for the review. I'm pondering whether to buy one of these to supplant my Jackson Pro DK2QM. The Jackson has Seymour Duncans, a compound radius, and a good Floyd, but I'm not sure those 18th-24th frets are as accessible as they should be--and, honestly, I just want a change of pace (as though I don't have enough f***ing guitars already...). Anyway, good review. I appreciate the perspective.
I just got one of these today for a serious bargain. I'm loving it so far, I'm sure you know how much more beautiful the finish is in person. lol. One other thing, I thought you said it was a Wizard II neck. I read a few websites just before this video that said it was a Wizard III. Its a great neck either way. Love the tones you're getting out of this!
Great video, thanks! Edit: Hmm, mine came with the Wizard III neck, according to the sales listing... bought in February of 2021. Makes me wonder what else is different. 🤔
I bought a set of Dimarzio Evoution HSH Pickups. The Humbuckers fit. But the middle single coil would not. I had to leave the quantum middle pickup in the guitar.
Are the mounting rings holding the pickups in place or are the adjustment screws deeper in the body? I would like to remove them if possible to fit a gk-3 between the bridge and bridge pickup
I still play my first Ibanez. I bought a RG470 around 1993 - 1994. I do want to change the pickups out. It still has the original V7 (neck), S7 (single) and the V8 (bridge) pickups in it. As my music choices have changed then it just lacks the solid tone. The bridge pickup just sounds thin and weak when I play notes. If anyone has as any suggestions on pickups then please reply.
I do not know which guitar to buy .I'm undecided between new indo model this one and old models RG 3xx/4xx/5xx MIJ in 90s ,2000s . What are the main differences between them? And which guitar do you think is better?
Excellent review. Very informative, concise and cool. I will be getting one very soon. **Update** I wound up getting a RG470DX Black Mat finish called Black Planet finish. I love this guitar, has everything I wanted in a guitar, Plays like a dream. Stay cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/
Yes, a good review even tho I do not like this style.Grea tidea for the picking tutorial I will look out for it. In the meantime, I would love you to review the Ibanez LGB30
Good review. Would have been a excellent review had you researched the tremolo. Ibanez offers several models and some are far superior to others. You are a excellent guitarist. Thank you.
@@kateonkeys1414 Well... I sold mine pretty quick. It was nice but you really want a proper Ibanez. I'd hold out for a premium. This represents the sweet spot between the super pricey Japanese stuff and the cheaper Korean stuff. I got a 1070pbz. Best made guitar I have including some custom shop and luthier built stuff. The fretwork on stainless steel frets is a work of art. If you put in a bit more cash and seek out a good used one you'll never want another Ibanez. Can swap out pups to taste later. The only reason I'd swap for a prestige is... for the prestige. It wouldn't be a better guitar. The 470 is ace for the money but you'll still feel the itch to upgrade. A premium is all the Ibanez you could ever need. Hope that helps.
Chris Colabella yeah so how much should I spend? and what guitar should I buy? I would like a tremolo bar, 24 frets and good sound. I like Tim Henson’s style if that helps! I’d like to spend less than $1000 but tell me what you think is best since I’m new to guitar but almost mastered piano 🤷♀️ and I’m going to spend thousands of hours learning guitar I can just tell 😂
@@kateonkeys1414 You've stumbled on the right person to ask: I've been playing 28 years, been in many bands, do some session work, tutor guitar, and also work as a luthier making custom guitars to order. Let me ask you a few more questions. Does it have to be new or would you consider used? Do you want a Floyd Rose trem specifically or will just a strat trem do? What styles of music will you play on it? Is it more important to have something that's easy to get to sound good, or that you need to master? And finally (be honest here) how important is the brand cashe/name on the headstock?
Chris Colabella 1. I don’t mind buying used as long as long as it functions like new I don’t mind a small scratch since I am clumsy anyways 😂 prefer used since it would be cheaper 2. I prefer to have a tremolo bar or just some form of Tremolo pitch change I’m not to picky 3. I play everything but I tend to like technically difficult pieces like riffs I like Tim Henson polyphia g.o.a.t but I like a clean not muffled sound also video game music, Disney music and Pop are in my style 4.it should be easy to get the sound good and shout be very playable with 24+ frets 5. I’d like a reliable brand and inline head stock like the 1070 premium Ibanez
Lovely smooth dreamy voice ....funny but the Delicious Tourqouise ie GREENISH HUE is TOTALLY lost in your demos where it chameleons to BLUE only and fairly dead Blues at that...

Ngl, best most in-depth and understandable review on RUclips
Nice review. Amazing playing. And I agree, you have a marketable voice.
Thank you, Chad Morris! Your playing and your voice are soothing! ☺️
Man, I loved this video. Putting your history into it. Someone that really loves music and playing it.
This Guitar is absolutely one of the best values in a "Hot Rod" guitar on the Market today, period !! And very tasty playing dude! :)

Thank you for this review! Answered all the questions I’ve been dwelling on.
Very good review. Thank you!
Great review! What pickups did you select? I have this guitar and am thinking of upgrading although my skills are nowhere near its limits .
this mans voice sounds like heaven no homo tho
Great video review!
Great playing! But your narration is off the scale!!!
You do sing I hope! You could read the phone book and it'd be worthy of a standing ovation!!!!

Be careful when ordering . make sure you get a wizardll and not the wizard 3 they suck
Thanks for this awesome review! I will be picking one up this weekend!

Can you tell me what's the difference between RG370AHMZ and this one... Please i am totally confused...
Looking at the photos of the bridge, I can see that it is plainly out of alignment....I hope you had it set up correctly!

Nice video, very in-depth, but why is your bridge angle so damn high?
Call me crazy, say I have bad taste, but I think the stock pickups sound great. Could be better, but still great.
MrPackersGaming most people really like the Quantum pickups. Anyone saying they're bad is in the minority.
Agreed
4
I concur
This guitar is my dream...
Looking to get one of these and yeah .. I'll veer toward a Dimarzio of some sort in the bridge.
I just got one of these today for a serious bargain. I'm loving it so far, I'm sure you know how much more beautiful the finish is in person. lol. One other thing, I thought you said it was a Wizard II neck. I read a few websites just before this video that said it was a Wizard III. Its a great neck either way.

How much did you get it for
@@PluckMyStrings I actually traded a surround sound system for it lol.
I been playing for 44 years I have one it's awesome right out of the box I play trash/death metal no complaints on it
Hi
Can you tell me what is better between 370ahmz and this one...
@@surajmajumder7279 the th 470 is just a newer model basically the same
@@jamesbaker5817 is the feature same?
@@surajmajumder7279 yes it's the same guitar just renamed it 470
Great video, thanks!
Edit: Hmm, mine came with the Wizard III neck, according to the sales listing... bought in February of 2021. Makes me wonder what else is different. 🤔
Level out that bridge
No point in changing pickups when the the setup is all wrong 😄
would you say this is the best ibanez guitar for $500?

@TheJbenwaa a year later and I still love playing the guitar
Incrível !!! Você não mostrou a parte trazeira da guitarra
What do you think about installing strings in a Floyd with the ball end on?
Awesome playing!!! :)
Yes, a good review even tho I do not like this style.Grea tidea for the picking tutorial I will look out for it. In the meantime, I would love you to review the Ibanez LGB30
Good review. Would have been a excellent review had you researched the tremolo. Ibanez offers several models and some are far superior to others. You are a excellent guitarist. Thank you.
Hi @Eric Denton. You mean 470 but different versions, or in general different Ibanez guitar?
@@JavidanQuliyev I know it's late but the European version (370AHM) comes with a different bridge (Edge-Zero II w/ZPS3Fe)
can you let me know , prs SE would be better or this guitar ? :/ plz
Killer man!!!!! Subbed
I used to own one I gave it away and purchased the s1070
Just picked one up for a steal. Well chuffed after seeing this review. Planning a pup swap and tremsetter install.
Is $450 a good deal？ I’m thinking of getting this

I also had to tighten the same spot, love the guitar however it’s never in tune
ive tuned mine like 6 times total probably the strings though
Sean Philliops I changed the strings but I can’t tune it without the bridge lifting up like crazy and guitar stores are closed I’m stuck lol
@@danielshastokas1787 you've gotta adjust the bridge after the string gauge. It's not that hard when you get used to it
Hey bro, do you know the difference between this model and the RG470FM?
Is 450 a hood deal for this guitar?
I want to get this but I'm afraid of locking tremelo. And stringing would be pain but i love using trem on my fender but goes out of tune quick.
Your fender not double locking.
@@poisonvenom5695 no fender has vintage trem on it the 6 screw trem.
You can always lock the trem. I have it locked (razor blades) and then just take them out when I need to trem
Lovely smooth dreamy voice ....funny but the Delicious Tourqouise ie GREENISH HUE is TOTALLY lost in your demos where it chameleons to BLUE only and fairly dead Blues at that...
Wonder what this would sound like LIVE with a real amp?
I really wonder why this is the 370 in Europe, as well as the 350 here in Germany is the 450 in the US?
Think in the US they use a different trem?
@@ObsoleteFormat
Ah, great you've found out. I didn't get that.
What is your amp settings my guy?
Strange. I just bought same, but it’s 370
It's RG 370ahm not 470
The 470 has a fixed bridge
Nope
My question is why even create a guitar like this if you gotta do so much to it after the fact
You should try the Japanese RG470 with wizzard 1 neck, now that's built for speed...
