Hi,
I have an Ibanez RG470 to let go at just $440 (Firm). It was sold to me as a Japanese Model a few years ago by a fellow softie, but i really not sure if its MIJ or MIK, although it has a Japan stamp on the back of the headstock. The stamp is not what i usually see in an Ibanez MIJ or MIK. So i take it as a MIK. That is reflected by my pricing. Anyway, i have upgraded the floating bridge with the Lo-Pro Floyd Rose. Upgraded all PUs with SD. SD Parallel Axis Trembucker (Blues Saraceno) on the Bridge, SD Quarter Pound for Strat SSL-7 in the Middle and SD 59 in the Neck position. All Electronics have been upgraded. I have done a full re-fretting about 2 years back. Now the Fret Life is about 80%. This is my practise guitar. Whole guitar i would rate at 8/10 condition (cosmetic). Its a player, not a collector's quality. No paint chip on body but there are quite a number hairline scratches at the back of body. Neck is straight and not warped. One of the most comfortable Ibanez neck that i've played. This guitar needs setting up to reach its full potential.
Headstock only 1 v small paint chip. Some oxidation on the metal parts especially the tuners at the headstock.
This guitar does not come with the tremolo arm and any carrying case.
This guitar is definitely worth more than the price that im offering. With the upgradings and all.....real good deal.
Photos will be uploaded soon.

Interested parties please contact me thru PM or if Inbox is full, leave a message at my visitor page or give me a thinker in this selling thread. Transaction venue will be strictly around Admiralty MRT Station. I will also be listing a few more guitars periodically as i have way too many.
* I am a guitar collector who is very interested in collectable guitars from Japan Golden Age (1977-1985). These really collectable guitars have seen a raise in value, consistently for the last 5 years or more.
