The SV5470A is an SV series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2008. It was made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale Prestige line.

The SV guitar models are based on the S series models, but have a synchronized tremolo instead of a double locking system found more typically on models in the series.

The SV5470A features an ash top with binding on a mahogany body bolted to a maple and walnut neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and small pearloid dot position markers. Components include Ibanez pickups with a pair of True Duo Blast humbuckers with a True Duo coil-split system flanking a Short Tracer single-coil, a SynchroniZR ball bearing pivot synchronized tremolo bridge with a ZPS-FX tuning stabilizer and Ibanez auto-trimming locking tuners which cut excess string as the locking clamp is engaged.

In 2009, a new middle position pickup was introduced along with a new finish. New additions for 2010 were the Wizard HP neck and another new finish.

Similar models include the SV5470F (flamed maple top), the SV5470Q (quilted maple top), the SV5470 (plain maple top) and the SV5470QE (quilted maple top and EMG pickups).

The SV5470A was discontinued in 2016.
