This thing is so ugly, I just wish two things:

1. it had jumbo frets
2. I had an extra $200 lying around!

I really like the natural finish ones, as well. I'm really gassing for one of these things, and I'm not sure why. Probably because it is a well-made Strat copy! Anybody else dig these old things?

I like it! I just played one here and I think it's great

I don't think it's ugly at all. It looks more like a Blazer than a Roadstar to me though. But the Roadstars are great! I have a pink one that I absolutely love. I was having a blast with it all last night.

do the original wizard necks go back as far as when these models werre made?

when did they first come out with original wizards?

Heres mine. I love it, awesome playing guitar.

Im ashamed of that pic. It looks so dirty. Shes in almost mint condition otherwise and plays great. I've got seymour duncans in it. I have a RG550 with a wizard neck and its different. I don't know what this neck is called but its smaller in width and the wizard is flatter. its more of a strat like neck.

Edit: BTW The model is RS135 or and nice red roadstar. That thing is awesome looking, plus the edge in there. great guitar!

Love the old IBANEZ guitars!

I don't think it's that bad. I don't like pink, but whatever works for you.

In Back to the Future 1, Michael J Fox plays an Ibanez when he's auditioning in front of Huey Lewis lol.

With my being a girl, I always gravitate towards the more girly looking guitars I guess. I always wanted a pink one and this one kicks ass! I love it. At some point I'm going to buy myself that blue floral Telecaster too that was made by Fender Japan.

Holdsworth used to play a Roadstar (or a signature model that looked like a Roadstar).

Yes, it was a signature model. It's just a Roadstar with a swimming-pool route and a custom-wound humbucker. The reason for the swimming-pool route was because it supposedly creates a clearer sound.
