GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ My New Ibanez Prestige Sv5470f
Posted by: wrk Mar 5 2009, 11:56 PM
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 http://www.ibanez.com/ElectricGuitars/model-SV5470F
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

That's a wonderful guitar man! You deserved it, no doubt
Posted by: wrk Mar 6 2009, 12:56 AM
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
lot of people scary me keep teling abouth sustain problem on that axe form 12-24 fret..
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.

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

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.
Posted by: wrk Mar 6 2009, 08:41 AM
.. 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
Posted by: sted Mar 6 2009, 10:27 AM
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?
Posted by: Smells Mar 6 2009, 10:36 AM
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!
Posted by: wrk Mar 6 2009, 10:44 AM
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 .. but this looks and sounds awesome, really nice guitar mate, enjoy and gratz! I thought the same ... but could not pass by on this one
Posted by: Smells Mar 6 2009, 10:49 AM
and I dont blame you! its a beauty!
Posted by: Rated Htr Mar 6 2009, 10:52 AM
Nice guitar, sounds really beautiful
Btw, what recording gear do you use for videos?
Posted by: wrk Mar 6 2009, 01:19 PM
For videos i use a sony miniDV cam. For audio i use a POD XT Live and Logic.
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Mar 6 2009, 02:13 PM
This is easily the most beautiful prestige that I've seen mate! Congratulations!

Beautiful guitar Andy, congrats! As always, great playing too!

Hey wrk!
I just bought her sister 3 days ago! A Pretige s5470 sol !
KILLER guitar! The best one I've played! I went to the guitar shop 2 times as well and couldn't get it of of my head.
How much did you pay for it?
I was lucky enought to find a used MINT one on an internet forum! I got it for 1100$ shipped to me (Ontario to Quebec)!

Congratulations !! ... funny you did the same experience in the shop
It is an awesome guitar, really comfortable to play, especially the neck.
The sol has a natural satin oil finish, right? Can you upload a picture? I would love to see yours
I guess you did a good deal. I paid around 1180,- Euro (new).
Thanks Kuba & Jesse, now after a few weeks i still think it's a beautiful guitar ..
