what model is this ibanez rg???

The trem does not give it away as much as the recess route does. You can put whatever trem on there you want, but the body was routed for TRS.

+1 olè

the trem route tends to determine what trem is in there, so they go hand in hand in my book.

Yeah... I missed the direct mount.
That kinda twists my head, now.

Definitely a RG4x0.

hi guys,

Thanks for all your help..I think this is a ibanez RG 380 made for the domestic japanese market. So can only be found on jap catalogs...any idea where can I find these catalogs? haha...I dismantle the body and neck and saw RG 380 printed so I concluded it a RG380. btw, how much is this rg worth?

the only year for a rg470 made actually in japan, then switched to mik

I had a RG470L from 2000 that was MIJ..

Cool, it's an RG380, not many of those around.

Yeah RG4XX production moved back to Japan in 1998, and the last models around 2003 came with Edge Pros too.

Doesn't it say what model it is under the serial number on the back of the headstock?

[LordGrendel]

I was the closest with the RG480 guess!!!

[Crazy_Guitar]

What about taking the neck apart?

[mattdavios]

yup..i had done that...it said RG380 lol. Btw, according to my friend who had japanese from 1995 to 2003 catalog. He told me that he cant find this colour on the cataloges he have...any body knows why?
