Please help me identify this green thing!

I have no clue to what model this Ibanez is, but I was told it is a UK 95 model speciel. Here's a describtion of it.

Its definetely a RG model.
The serial number is: F524513 (I found that to be a serial number of guitars made in 1996)
And now for the special part: IT COMPLETELY GREEN.
The entire body is green, the threatboard and "the head".
It is not painted on. It's tanned into the wood. You can actually see the contour in the underlying wood "under the color". (that way you know its tanned and not painted on)

The metal around the humbuckers is "gold-colored", so is the Floyd Rose and the volume and tone buttons.
On the head theere is the Ibanez logo in white writing.

I would like any info anyone might have on this. From what I understood from talking to Rich of the Ibanezrulez page there was a thread on this guitar not long ago, but I searched the forums like a manic and found nothing.

Sorry for the long post...Lars/Denmark

There was one that went on EBay awhile back for around $1100US, so that might give you an idea.

But considering typical extra you have to pay in Europe, I guess that's not bad...

It IS bad. It's a european-only model, so you'd have to pay less in europe this time. I've seen a few of these going for EUR 650 - 750 on ebay germany.

OK so I got ****ed when I paid 1850 USD for the RG3070. I brought it unused from a local shop here in Denmark.

Its a really great guitar, but I need to get it ajusted and I am thinking of putting some thicker strings on it. Right now Im playing 09. I just got 011 put on my other guitar and im loving it (but its a whole different guitar, an old BC Rich).

Well...a guitar is worth whatever your willing to pay for it

If you are happy with the guitar, you didn't get screwed. Sure...you may have paid a premium price for it, but it IS a fairly rare guitar, etc.

There seem to have been a couple of these guitars appearing in Europe (especially on ebay.de) recently.
