Ibanez S5470 Prestige Cosmic Blue Mica

Description of the Ibanez S5470 Prestige

The Ibanez S series first appeared in 1987. Ever since, it has changed in appearance and function to represent the cutting-edge of Ibanez design. Famous for its lightweight carved mahogany body, the Ibanez S5470 can take a beating while still providing the resonance of guitars twice its size.

The S5470 also comes equipped with the ZR tremolo system, a smooth ball bearing tremolo that makes every subtle nuance of whammy bar use come alive.

ZR-2 Tremolo

The ZR-2 is a revolutionary tremolo system. It plays incredibly smooth through the use of its ball bearing mechanism. This also keeps the string action constant, even during the most rigorous tremolo use. The top side features a smooth finish for total hand comfort, and the tremolo arm snaps in for quick setup.

ZPS3 Zero Point System

The ZPS3 is the next stage of zero point systems. Made of lightweight Duralumin, the addition of two outer springs makes the guitar easier to tune and provides much greater tuning stability. In fact, the other strings will stay in tune even if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply remove the stop bar.

Sleek Body

The smooth, contoured Mahogany body of the S has long been a favorite for the extreme thrash of heavy metal players to the soft grace of fusion virtuosos.

Barless Top-Lok

The Barless Top-Lok eliminates the need for a retainer bar to maintain string tension. Through its simple design, it holds the correct angle for the strings without one. The metal-injection molding process means that all the edges remain smooth, so you won't hurt your hands.

HGD & ST Pickups

The Hot Grinder pickups are specially designed for the S Prestige to output extra volume, yet sharpness is not sacrificed. The new Short Tracer pickup matches perfectly with the hot humbuckers to give versatility on the S5470 and to produce even the most delicate tones.
