This item is no longer listed on an auction site. It is located in 22556 Virginia. From reading, this is color is a Japan Market only color, as well as this guitar having a maple fretboard (a beautiful quartersawn well-worn fretboard). The Edge looks like it is brand new, odd considering this is a 1987 axe. Bridge pickup is a Dimarzio TZ, neck/middle are original as I was told by the last owner. I would like $400 + Shipping for this great axe. A link to the pictures :

You need to update your location to at least a state please.

Um, how does metallic silver look anything like violet pearl?

Violet Pearl is in this ad :

Granted, the sunlight makes it look a little more grey, that is exactly what the color looks like indoors.

If I am wrong, and you can find proof, please let me know so I can change my listing. I got this information from searching this website and the ibanez wiki.

yes, your RG560 body is Violet Pearl. I don't think they came with a maple neck though. The ad you have linked, shows an RG750 in VP, Paul Gilbert is holding a Heather Pearl, and the ad shows an RG560 in Heather Pearl. This link below is a Violet Pearl.

I know, I was just posting a link to the finish to show that it is Violet Pearl. From what I have read these were only available with maple fretboards in Japan.

To the top.
