PLU: RG470PBREB
Using this Ibanez RG470PB - REB electric guitar is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is tuned to the factory setting of 1E,2B,3G,4D,5A,6E. You can use a tuner to get it just right. When you're ready to play, the Wizard III Maple neck offers a fast and smooth feel, so your fingers can glide easily across the 24 frets. You can choose between different pickups - the neck, middle, and bridge pickups - to create various sounds. The Quantum pickups are great for high - speed riffs, so don't be afraid to play fast!
Here are some things to keep in mind. Avoid exposing your guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the wood and affect the tuning. When you're not using it, store it in a guitar case. And if you notice the strings are starting to sound dull, it's time to change them. You can use the same D'Addario® EXL120 strings as recommended by the factory.
For maintenance, regularly clean the fretboard with a soft cloth to remove dirt and sweat. You can also clean the hardware, like the bridge and the nut, to keep them in good condition. The mono - unit output jack is durable, but check it occasionally for any signs of loosening. With proper care, your Ibanez RG470PB - REB will serve you well for years to come.
