Ibanez V model Identification question.

Contra · #1 06-10-2003, 11:22 PM

I searched first, but Icouldn't find anything. So:

Does anyone know what this model might be from a description alone. I'm sure it's been brought up before.

Black Ibanez Flying V, binding on the body, neck, and headstock. Sharkfin inlays. Possibly an ebony board, possibly neck through... Tremolo... 2 hums if I'm not mistaken...

?

If it's an off-set V, Rhoads style body, it's a PL2660(or is it PR2660?)..

Pro-Line, from around 85-86, there were two models, the 2660 with binding, inlays, neck through, and an Edge bridge; and the 1660 which was dots, bolt-on, and had a pro-rocker trem.. I think they changed the 1660 to a non-locking bridge at some point though..

Is the Randy connection official or do people just refer to them as that due to the basic body shape?

There's no affiliation, just that it's a Rhoads V copy.. I mean, it's a little different in some planes, like the groove of the V.. They put out a white with black pin-stripe PR2260, which screams Jackson Rhoads Copy to me..

I had one of the PR1660's.. Nice guitar, and the first decent guitar I ever owned.. Neck was more like a Roadstar, and it had that damn Pro'Rock'R bridge(which I tore off for a schaller floyd).. It had an ebony board, IIRC, though it coulda been stained rosewood, I was just a kid back then..

Hmmm... A store near my house has a whitish one with black pickguard for about seven hundred bucks (Australian$$). Hmmm. HMMMMmmmm.......
