A few days ago i got this beautiful Ibanez Prestige SV5470F ...




Since a while i thought about to get a new guitar of a bit better quality. All my guitars up to now are in the range below 500 EUR (incl. pickup updates). I tested some different types from time to time, but i find it difficult to get a real impression without the own sound settings and without playing a guitar for at least a few hours.

On one of my last visits to a guitar shop i saw and tested the Ibanez SV and after i could not get this one out of my head. I return again two times to the shop to convince myself that this is NOT the guitar i am looking for (normally i like simple strat type guitars), but it was getting worst each time and i finally broke and bought it.

The exact specs can be found HERE

Here a small example of the Ibanez SV. A modified and bit nervous version of Muris's "Hybrid Picking - intermediate" lesson on which i work at the moment. Hope you like it ..

Congratulation man, this is a really cool guitar.

You did the good thing I know what it is to fall in love with a guitar you just need to buy it.

Enjoy your new axe

Nice looking guitar and it sounds great........

That's a wonderful guitar man! You deserved it, no doubt

Thanks Creazy_D and superize ... you both just got a new guitar as well, so you know the excitement

Thanks Hammerhead. I am still experimenting with the sound settings as my normal sound patches don't really work with this guitar, but i like it so far


I have heard of this issue as well and it's actually true!
This problem comes from the middle pickup. The magnets seems to be too strong ... for now i adjusted the middle pickup as low as possible and now it's ok. I will replace this one very soon. I'm surprised how good the neck and bridge pickups are.

Awesome guitar and awesome playing Andy!!! Long live the ZR!!

Great looking guitar, wrk, and great playing!

Congrats on your new adquisition mate!

It's a really really cool guitar, and the case too

Sweet deal & your playing puts me to shame

Enjoy the new axe dude.

I wanted an Ibanez S5470 Prestige so bad. I gave it up cause I think its too much for a guitar. After seeing this video, I might reconsider it.

.. i hope you can live with that to be initially responsible for this purchase.
You made me so curious about the ZR trems that i needed to go to test it and on this visit to the shop i saw this guitar

It looks and sound really nice man! Congratulations on your new axe

wow, that is nice! I usually hate Ibanez guitars but that one looks cool and the tonal options are immense, any chance of a few more tone demos, would love to har the range of this thing, and how is the neck? similar to strat types?

I was suprised when I saw you`d bought this mate, I thought you where a "Strat" man but this looks and sounds awesome, really nice guitar mate, enjoy and gratz!

The neck is typical Ibanez i guess, more comfortable as RGs imo, but not really strat type. These True-Duo pickups give a lot of options which i still have to discover . I will do some more tone demos of course, but can take a bit of time ..


I thought the same ... but could not pass by on this one

and I dont blame you! its a beauty!

Nice guitar, sounds really beautiful

Btw, what recording gear do you use for videos?
