Ibanez RV470 1992 MIJ Rare

Ibanez RV470 or 355GF.  Rare, produced for one or two years in the early 90's. Sounds amazing, plays like butter. SD 59 in neck, JB in bridge. Viper neck + All Access Neck Joint. Made in Japan, Fujigen. As good as way higher-priced Fenders. Superb guitar.

It's not pristine aesthetically, but is in good cosmetic condition. Photo flame. It's got a few cracks in the finish on the top as shown in the photos, which seems to be common in these models.  I haven't played it in a while; the frets could use polishing. 

Dunlop Strap Loks. Comes in nothing special hard case but will protect guitar.

"The RV470 is a Radius series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1993. The Radius series features an offset double-cutaway superstrat-style body with smoothly rounded edges and an aerofoil-like profile with a slightly flatter top than the S series, or Saber, body.

The RV470 was the only "RV" model produced. It's similar to the SV470, which has an S series shape. The V designation indicates the use of the Viper neck which is thicker and rounder than the typical Ibanez neck.

The RV470 features an alder body with a gravure top bolted to a maple Viper neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Vintage flanking an Ibanez and a bridge with gold finish, a transparent pickguard and Gotoh locking tuning machines.  The R355GF is a similar model with a different tremolo which was sold in Europe. The RV470 was offered only in the United States and was discontinued after only one year of production."
