Hi what do u guys think about the S470 for metal. I liked the guitar, and i have tried it. the neck was really smooth n fast. but i do not use the whammy bar often. I kind of feel that the guitar is expensive because of the ZR. What do you guys think? maybe i can get something better wif the same price of the S470?

the S-series is well suited for high-gain stuff, metal or otherwise.

if u aint goin to use the floating trem might as well a fixed bridge ibanez.the rg 321mh is realli good for metal i guess.the pickups well there isnt anythin fantatis abt them but they will du till u can get a pickup change. and from wad i see on ibanez website the rg 321 and s470 have the same neck dimension.

the S470 has added versatility in the middle single coil. despite the RG321 & S470 both sporting Wizard II necks, many would be attracted to the sleek S-type body.
you're comparing pickups when the main difference lies in the bridge and different mass of the bodies.
Missing the point.
Get a guitar you like. End of story. You're happy.
Change pickups.
Get all the metal pedals, metal amps you want then.
You've already tried the S470, just get it. Expensive because of the bridge, like duh, its a good bridge and does its job exceedingly well.

ahaha. i dun get why pple would ask which guitar better for metal and for this and that. get a guitar which sounds good to you under your desired gain circumstance. also get a guitar which u are comfortable with eg neck, body contour, access to the knobs and switches, bridge style whether fixed, vintage or floyd. yeps and ure ready. whether u can play metal or blues or funk or whatever style is really up to the player then..

for the ZR bridge right, you mean it is a floating-fixed interconvertible bridge?

sometimes there's this apprehension as to whether a certain guitar would be suitable for a certain genre, especially when the lay person's method of determination is through looks. this is so for 'polite' looking guitars; would it be suitable for metal/ high gain music?
bottom line is always suitability, looks remain secondary. this is the reason why i was willing to 'çonvert' my telecaster for all things METAL... :twisted:

you want a metal guitar...?
get an explorer ltd from davis ($380)
change both the pickups to emg 81 bridge and emg 85 neck ($270)
install the pickups from G77 (quote price,neg)
all that sum up to $650 - $700
you'll get a great lookin guitar and great sounding guitar...!
much cheaper than ibanez s470...so yeah...!
