Japanese 2001 Ibanez RG470XL in Black Pearl finish. This is an awesome guitar that really screams, also performs beautifully through clean channels. What is especially cool and unique is that this is the XL model which means it has a 27" scale Wizard II neck which allows this guitar to be set up and played as a Baritone as well, 'BONUS! This model was only made for one year only so there are not as many of these around making it much less common. Ibanez utilized the 27" necks in order to allow for lower tuning without the strings flopping and loosing articulation.

This RG470 was made in the Fujigen, Japan factory which is renown for turning out high quality Ibanez guitars. This line was a professional series line in 2001 and features:
Basswood body, 27" lightning fast Wizard II neck with Rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets LO TRS Locking Tremolo, V7 neck pup, S1 middle pup and V8 bridge pup

The pickups sound great and offer a variety of tones. Substantially well made guitar that plays GREAT! Fully set-up and ready to play - can be re-strung and tuned to buyers preferred setting at no extra cost. Lightweight hard case included.
