Re: What RG is this?
My first guess is a late model 270 (around 2000 - 2003), the serial number would help.

Re: What RG is this?
that serial number is very confusing but it has to be korean.

BTW your mate has the locking nuts around the wrong way, theres little grooves underneath that the string go into.

There are some late model RG270DXs that were made in Japan. They are typically asian market models. Not seen in stores in Europe/US, etc.

Re: What RG is this?
well its got a fat korean headstock and a shallow korean trem cavity but the jack plate looks like the ones on MIJ 470s, I dont think many of us know a whole lot about lower end models tho.

^ fat korean headstock? or u mean blunt? I do notice that the higher end guitars have a sharper headstock, whereas the lower end ones are more blunt.

the korean ones are actually slightly longer and alot wider than MIJ.

the easiest way to tell is the tick under "IBANEZ" bows more on korean
