What's this for a RG?

[Skydancer]

Hello everybody,

I have seen a Ibanez on Ebay and I don't know which it is.

EDIT Please read Forum rules before posting again! NO EBAY LINKS ALLOWED!!

Ebay Item#2553669103

Somebody said to me that it is a RG 270 DX, but I'm not sure.

Can someone tell me which it is?

The Serialnumber is: CE F97 30653

Is the price ok?

Greetz Skydancer!

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from germany!

Very doubtful that it's an RG270DX since it has a Japanese serial number

I'm not sure of the model, but I'd guess it's an RG5XX or RG7XX model.

Jono?

but it must be a RGR, because it has a reverse head, or?

Do you think the price is ok?

I like the the guitar, but i don't know if it is a good guitar, cause i'm a beginner.

Any 5xx or 7xx series Ibanez is worth buying, they're quality guitars. From the 5-series on the floyd-rose bridge is great. On the lower models the bridge can be quite crappy. If it isn't too expensive you surely won't regret getting that guitar. There are a lot of bands who use RG5-series guitars on serious touring events, RG4-series and lower are more or less beginner models. A 5-series (Japanese made) Ibanez is a guitar you can build on (and won't sell after a year or so).

My best guess is that this is a RG4 - they are still made in Japan but came with the LoTrs tremolo on them.

It must be something like RGR470 or something to that effect.
As far as I know you can buy these new as well.

For Europe that seems like a normal price, if no one buys it, post it on ebay UK and you'll get at least £220 for it.

I've thought about bidding on that one too, cause as far as I can tell it's got an original edge trem. I've then decided against buying it because i wanted my next axe to have a fixed bridge, aargh. So I allow you to get it and give it to me in a few years, lol.

Edit: I have to say i'm only 95 per cent sure it's indeed an edge trem. The area where the fine tuners are looks very edge-ish to me. but, umm, please don't hit me if i'm wrong. Better ask the seller what's stamped on the trem, and post it here.

I agree it looks like an Edge. I would suggest you get a better picture in the next couple of hours.

Could be one of those "Japanese Models" (I mean not MIJ but AIJ (Available)). It looks, for example, very much like a RGRT47DX. But that's made in Korea, I think.

Since the picture on Ibanez' website is the '03 model, maybe the earlier ones were MIJ.

Overall, it looks okay, but I'd ask for more close up pictures.

Good luck!
