This would be my dream (non-JEM) Ibanez as I prefer the pickguard-less look to an RG550 DY, but besides the picture on the Ibanez wiki, I can find nothing else online proving they exist...
1.5 years later, found a DY RG570 on ebay in the UK. The only issue is that it is listed as a 1989 model, and the serial number seems to confirm, but according to the Ibanez wiki, the DY color was only offered in 1992...
Supposedly was from the Japanese market, anyone have access to the 1989 Japan catalogue?
1989, rare colour desert sun yellow. VGC apart from a few dings on the body. Guitar shows little to no wear on frets in my opinion. The hardware looks very good. The finish doesn't seem to have faded at all.
Yea, I own an early 1991 RG770, similar guitar in many ways - this was just before the 700 series went to matching pickup and inlay colors, so it just looks like a 570 with binding and lightning inlays. Great pickups, where on a 570 you generally want to replace the pickups, but otherwise both outstanding guitars.
Your color choice is really interesting! I'd like to see one in real life too..... that color to me looks like something more in the later 770 series than the 5xx series, but they probably did make them like that, at least a few.
