If Ibanez holds the most iconic name in metal, then the RG is certainly the guitar that built this reputation. Every inch of this classic screams speed, fury, and expression.

The RG470AHM features an Ash body sparkling highs and beefy lows, and it’s complemented by the distinction of a Maple fretboard, which, as tone aficionados know well, yields a shade more “bite” to the guitar’s voice. As the originators of the thin, fast neck, the Wizard III is yet another achievement in player comfort—comfort that translates into maximizing player performance. Proprietary Quantum pickups for a focused, vintage meets modern, vibe and you’ve got a guitar that’s every inch a pure metal machine.
