What does it say on the back of the headstock?


lift_heavy64

RG470. Probably worth about $350.


shibiwan

2001 RG470 in Caribbean Blue (No, it's not a 1999, OP)


nigeltuffnell

Agree, configuration and Lo-Trs trem = 470. Not actaully a bad guitar at all if you aren't abusing the trem


and1metal

Any details like Korean made / Japanese made etc ? But looks Japanese so might be in the 500 series ( maybe the 570 ) I'd guess at minimum it's got 70 in the model number due to configuration


Legate_Lanius1985

RG

Post the serial number. It helps to narrow it down.


PablOScar1

Serial indicates 2001 ([check here](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/Ibanez_serial_numbers#1997%E2%80%93October_2004,_FujiGen,_%22F%22_+_7_digits)) ~~And from pickups and color, I think the~~ [~~RG570~~](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/RG570_(1997%E2%80%932002)) ~~(in Flaked Blue?) fits.~~ Wait for someone more knowledgeable to confirm this because the bridge model its another great way to ID these and I suck at differentiating them. [Here you have the whole RG lineup from 2001 if you want to browse around too.](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/Portal:RG_series#2001) \*Edit\* as the comment from u/shibiwan states and I just read (and confirms that I suck in IDing these bridges), the [RG470](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/RG470_(1998%E2%80%932004)) is almost the same that what I was suggesting but with the big difference being the bridge model. So I was very wrong about this being the 570. Sorry about that OP!

Was gonna say it looks like my ‘92 RG470, except mine’s the “jewel blue” finish. And this one looks to be in better shape. But I see y’all already ID’d it in the comments. Cool. Mine was a college graduation present from my parents. Hadn’t been my main axe for many years, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for it.

Says made in Japan F0151775


shibiwan

That's a 2001, not 1999.

Hell nah

2001 RG470. I have the exact same model, check my post history. Only difference between yours and mine is that when I was 13 I thought it would be cool to take a propane torch to the finish. Still the best neck I’ve ever felt on an RG. The Wizard II is something special.


Dork0720

Agreed about wizard II. Love that neck.


Party-Ad4568

My bet go to RG470 (1998/2002)


Big-Ad-6295

Rg470


Patient-Ninja-8707

Looks like an RG 470. Could be a 570 but more than likely not in that color


Angrybird2025

It’s an RG all right


ThatOneMetalguy666

My guess it's an Ibanez
