G*uitar related dilemma

[anonymous278347457]

Since I just sold my mockingbird, I am looking to get another Ibanez.

Currently I'm looking at the following:

S470
S320
RG570
RG550


I know a local guy selling a 02 RG570 for £300, its a bit more expensive than the standard ebay price, but its local and I have played it.

I can get a S320 new for around £300 and a S470 new for close enough.

On ebay the RG550/570 prices seem to vary a lot, I've seen them go from between £180 and £400. As do S470 prices.

What should I do? buy a RG 550/570 off ebay and hope it is as good as the one I played? buy a new S320/S470? or buy a used S470?

RG's have basswood bodies and 24 frets. S series has mahogany bodies and 22 frets. Current S series have a Wizard II neck, old RG's have an original Wizard neck, which is thinner.

Pickups in both are basically useless, you'd wanna switch out eventually.

The only difference in a 550 and a 570 is the 550 has a maple board.
