This guitar is amazing, as soon as i saw it i immediately wanted to play it. I mainly play instrumental songs and styles like, joe satriani, steve vai and joe pass and plenty of others. And i was looking for a guitar that was cheap enough and looked and sounded the part. So, i went into my local music shop and started to try all the guitars out, and i mean all. When i played the S470 it felt like i was playing a JEM or JS, it has a really thin and flat neck with low action. This is, in my opinion the best way to have your guitar set up, and i felt like buying it straight away. But i hadn't heard it. I played it through a Line 6 amp and was totally amazed by each sound from all the positions of the pickups. I dont particularly like the stock pickups, but they sound amazing for the price. Trust me, if you want a cheap guitar that looks and sounds great, this is the guitar for you. As Ibanez say, 'Ibanez, the guitar of tomorrow'.
