Hello, just wanna know what you think about the Ibanez s470

do you think it would be great for metal songs like metallica ?

Just give me what you know about

Thanks
 
Re: what you think about Ibanez s470

Yeah, like you say, the tremolo is great but the pickups are not really "hot"
The pickups are cools for effects, but the can be bether than that, but i think this guitar may do the job with better pickups

What pickups would you put on it ???
 
Re: what you think about Ibanez s470

After playing with my friend's, I'd go with a Custom for the bridge, APS in the mid, and APH at the neck. This set up would give decent rstrat tones in pos. 2, 3,and 4 (using coil splitting) while having lots of beef at the bridge and a thick, smooth humbucker sound at the neck.

Skywalker,

I like that series of Ibanez guitar. I have always liked the thinness of the body, and the neck has a good feel as well. I dont know about you but I dont like the big thick bulky feel of some electric guitars. If your looking for a Metallica sound I think i'd consider a Duncan Distortion bridge pickup (sh-6) if I were you.

OK guys, thanks a lot, i'm gonna get a look at theses

I dunno about the neck, that didn't make a while I play guitar, so i don't try alot of guitars, but i love the ibanez, i also love the strat neck

I'm gonna get a really cool strat (with tb-6 dist.-Hot stack-hotrails) in one month so i'm really exited about this, but i also wanted to give my ibanez more punch

Thanks guys !

I think I have seen your strat, is it blue with a maple fretboard? Sacha has a killer axe my friend, you should be proud.
 
Re: what you think about Ibanez s470

Bones, your totally right, i will got sacha's strat, and i'm very proud if it, that's the greatest strat i see at the lowest price !!! And Sacha is really cool with me, so, it's the best deal i willl ever make !


ps. your monkey is scaring me....
 
Re: what you think about Ibanez s470

I like Ibanez guitars. I hate Ibanez electronics. My first guitar was a crappy 200 buck Ibanez and it holds tune better than my 2003 MIM Telecaster. My tele always needs neck adjustments to eliminate some buzz. My Ibanez never has that problem.

I have a Distortion in my ibanez. If you're going for metallica, I'd say get a custom. You'll still need the cleans in songs like "Fade to Black" that, from my experience, the Distortion will fall a little short of.
 
Re: what you think about Ibanez s470

i bought an ibanez rg and i put a DD in the bridge cause ibanez pups do suck. this is a very good axe to play metallica. sure not the best in the world but good cause with it you can have a "soloist" guitar with a very fast run neck and the DD offerts you the "old heavy metal sound"
 
Re: what you think about Ibanez s470

if your delaer has the Prestige S-series, give it an audition.

i've avoided getting the ZR equipped S model due to the weight the trem contributes to the guitar's whole. the ZR is a splendid unit, it just adds too much weight to the body. i'm gonna go with the SA series instead- especially when i don't need a locking vibrato :)

I've got an S470 with a distortion in the bridge and it it sounds pretty damn awesome, just trying to decide what to put in the neck now...
