Ibanez S470DXQM Quilted Maple Electric Guitar
6-String Electric Guitars
Sixteen years ago everyone "knew" that fat Mahogany tone and sustain equaled weight and discomfort. Then the S changed everything. The S is thin around the edge to give you great comfort, and thick around the neck, pickups and bridge to give you great tone. The 2003 S line offers both double locking and synchronized trems, some including built-in piezos so the S can add acoustic clarity to its signature Mahogany tone and sustain.

REVIEWS
Feature:
I've had absolutely NO problems what-so-ever. I do my own set-ups and lowered the action when I received this one. I'd still like it a tich lower, but the Wizard II neck makes up for the fraction of an inch I lose in height. It's a VERY fast neck! (Note: I like my actions very-very low).
Quality:
Made great! No blemishes, no buzzes, no chips, no fusses, no hanging chads!
Value:
This is all about perspective, and I own and have played much more expensive guitars....this Ibanez holds its own. I'm not a guitar snob that believes cost is the dominant factor in a good guitar...being a good guitar is the thing that makes it a good guitar (pretty simple, eh?!)
Desirability:
Beautiful!
Sound:
I've been playing 29 years and I have a 20+ year-old Westone (British distributed now) and a Les Paul Standard, and this Ibanez holds its own in the "shred" department. I personally like the sound of the pickups and don't plan on changing them out (excluding the single coil, but I'm not a single coil guy). The sound can be very clean, but "dirty" up easily (Iron Maiden-style, not System of a Down). I've had this guitar for half-a-year now and I like it more every day. NO problems what-so-ever.
Support:
Haven't needed it...now THAT'S great support.
Overall:
Holds its own against anything I've seen or played in much higher price ranges.
