Re: help indentify this guitar


Must be an old RS (Roadstar) or RG (RoadstarII). Picture would help out.

Are the edges of the body rounded or sharp as modern RGs? Any specific switches? Trem recessed into the body?

Re: help indentify this guitar


almost looks like a black 350 with a 140 neck, but of course the 140 didn't have a locking nut., what does the neck pocket say?

Re: help indentify this guitar


That trem is absolutely not original on any Ibanez I know of.

The pickguard doesn't look original. It appears to be a one ply as well.

My guess would be an RG350.

Re: help indentify this guitar


Could it be one of those old Roadstar RG340s from 87? Probably had a pickguard installed, and a replacement trem.

Re: help indentify this guitar


the 350 and 360 had what looks to be a licensed Floyd, probably a predecessor to the TRS, and would explain why a Floyd II fits it.
