Product Info

The RG470DX-TMN is a seriously fun guitar for players wanting speed and versatility. That Wizard III neck is a joy to shred on, and the Quantum pickups provide plenty of punch for rock, metal, and even some blues. It's a great option for intermediate players looking for a well-built, high-performance instrument without the premium price tag.
