I was going toget the purple 470 as i loved the colour, but there was a wait for it to arrive. so I opted for the sea foam colour, and im glad i did it sooo nice in this colour. Its quite light as in weight, and sits nice on my leg. the neck is smooth and fast. the pickup sound realy good and each postion is quite a different sound from bridge to neck. I have been using it daily now for about two weeks and still in tune. there were a couple of slight flaws in the paint, pin prick size but that was it. I have an 42fm which I love and play all the time just love this guitar, along with gibson but can say im really, really happy with rg470 and recomend to any one whos in this price range. again I got say I love the colour!
