One of my oldest clients told me he wanted "something shreddy". I asked for more details and all I got was "wide neck with a whammy bar". I've bought a number of guitars for him over the years, so I hit CL, Squeebay, and Treeverb looking for victims. Sent him a list of 5 to choose from. He wanted an Ibanez RG470 in turquoise sparkle. It was delivered this afternoon, and I'm almost done setting it up. Should be a fun deal.

470.
The 1 at the end of Ibanez models usually indicates "no trem".

Cool; yeah, these days Gios and mid-level RGs have pretty good/fun colour options.
Ibz aren't offering a HSH hardtail RG in their Indo lines at the moment; there is 421M dual hb in green sparkle (pink too).
There was a 471 years ago, ash body and sharktooth inlays.

I've always liked the look of Ibanez guitars, but my fingers don't like the super skinny necks that many of them have. Only thing that would make that guitar look cooler is fret dots that matched the colour of the body. :PJoin me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Cool find, I hope you client is happy with it!
I'm an Ibanez fanboi, but I usually stick to basic colors (although if I came across a swirl at the right price...). I'm not a fan of the TRS trem on those older 400 series, I'm sure it's fine if set up properly but if I'm buying for myself I go for the 500+ series (MIJ) with the Edge trems. I hate that the Edge Zeroes are being used on some of the higher end models now, I've not used one, but I know they don't have a hardened plate for the saddle screws to go in so I imagine they will strip fairly easily when adjusting intonation.
