'93 catalog info needed

zoner · #1 06-19-2002, 09:02 PM

Anyone have the '93 cat handy? I just bought a RX model that the seller says is a RX750 - never heard of this model but am curious about pickups, neck type, etc. It is a 3 piece Padauk/Mahogany?Padauk body in oil finish and has H/S/H pickups with the TZ trem and gold hardware. Any help would be appreciated. I'm hoping it has the V8-S1-V7 setup that my RT650(the model just befor this) had. Viper neck? Help a brother out, wouldja? Thanks in advance Jemsiters!

No RX series in the 93', RG, RT, EX, and none in 750's.

Try Page 15 of the 1994 Catalog:

-RX750 Specs:
-V7/S2/V8 Pickups
-"RX" neck-type. (Basically a rounded Strat-type) w/ AANJ

I actually had one of these guitars for awhile...great guitars, but only if the pickups are changed out. The V7/V8 don't have NEARLY enough balls to take advantage of the tonewoods that this guitar has. Retail on the RX750 was $999.95. I miss mine! So...if you ever decide to re-sell the one you're getting...let me know!

Cool axe!

Hey Chris, have you had one of everything yet?

I'm working on it! LOL That was one of the advantages of working in a store for 7 years.

If something cool came out, I'd buy it at cost, hang onto it until I got bored, then sell it through the store.

The only things I'd really like to get my hands on right now are an RT452 12-string and maybe another RX750. Just got a GR520, which is one that I never bought when I was at the store. Sold a few, but never got one for myself, which I'd regretted ever since.

I've had most of the interesting models that were in the '93, '94 $ '95 catalogs though

Those were the days when Ibanez had a little more variety

vaijem, thanks for the info - what did you use to replace the stock pickups in your RX? I have a Mahogany JS and love the tone so a Fred/PAF Pro duo was an option. I have found myself gravitating to the oddball early-mid 90's Ibanez stuff and hope this slots right in with the rest(542R, 440SII, RT450, JS6000). I still have an Edge equipped piece but really dig the 2-post fulcrum/locking tuner combo and find it to be almost as stable as the Edge when properly dialed in. I also hope to own one of everything before I croak so I guess a job in a music store(or pawn shop) is in order, eh? Z(Chris)

Hey!

I liked the JS combo so well on the JS6/6000 at the time, that I just popped a FRED & PAF PRO into the RX750. Sounded KILLER!
