I would not consider it a fair price for a body, neck, and case missing a latch. You can get a good used 550ish or S for around 400-500. That is just my opinion friend.
Well, I refinished an RFR once. Yes, it was a stupid move which I later regretted, but mine had been through gigging hell for a couple of years and I wanted a natural finish instead. Basswood just ends up looking crap, though! No grain, just boring looking wood. What the hell I was thinking, I have no idea. I guess I wasn't really thinking at all. Also, it just didn't click how rare they are. RFR was produced for one year only (1987). No other Ibanez guitar ever made features the Road Flare finish.
