Ibanez: RG470PB

The Ibanez RG470PB is now available at Swee Lee ($699) & it's one of the models to feature the Std DL bridge (Standard Double Locking). This bridge was a recent fitting in the more current models & looks to be a return to familiar days. Familiar because it looks very much like the TRS models fitted into the midrange Ibanez models in the late '80s -'90s. I'm not trying to talk you out of buying a well-made guitar (yes, the guitar per se is awesome for the money but if it proves to be a re-naming of the discontinued TRS then you are better off buying other models in the Ibanez range with a more established double locking bridge. Let's not dwell too much into the details because personally, I consider those TRS a done deal, they were dead & buried but maybe some people feel there is a need to resurrect past episodes.
