Hey everyone, so I have had this Ibanez RG550 claimed to be original in Road Flare Red for about 3 and a half years, stupidly never took the neck off after buying it until recently, keeping it as a case queen because of its condition. Now I was always a bit curious about the paint around the...

Hi, The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a replacement tremolo plate for a 1987 JEM777. Not sure if a plate from another year will do. If so, I'd appreciate suggestions on where to find one. Thanks, AP

Hi all! I haven't posted on here in ages, but I hope everyone is well. I was trying to time this post to hit around 1:00 PM this afternoon (US Eastern Daylight Time, 12:00 Noon Central Daylight Time) but ran into some issue affecting my internet connection. Why the timing? Well, if my...

Hello Ibanez people, I'm selling my 1987 RG 550 in good and all original condition. It has just a few scratches, the backplate looks pretty used (you still can read "Ibanez" and "Made in Japan", though). The original tremolo arm and cover are inclused as well. Frets are in excellent condition...

Hello guys! I recently bought a 1987 RG560 in Carotene Orange with some Dimarzios on it. I must say, even though it quite beat up, that thing is a beast. It simply blows away my '94 Gibby and pretty much every single guitar I ever touched! Ugly as hell though. The thing is, I never seen a...

Hi all, Im Daniele from Italy (near Florence) and Im a new member of this amazing site, a real bible for Ibanez Maniacs! I have a fantastic 1987's Ibanez 540s with an original BackStop (!). I dont play it almost never and I decided to sell it. It has a weird rare color..its a metallized color...

Well I finally picked it up yesterday. It had been abused to hell and neglected. The owner was a nice guy, but didn't really understand floating trems and as a result the trem was sitting right into the guitar. Here are the before pics and a couple of after cleanup and restring pics. Please...

I'd like to buy a 1987 RG550 in Heather Pearl with the maple fretboard and white pickguard. Obviously this is a shot in the dark but if you have one you'd be willing to part with please pm me and see if we can work something out. I would be willing to pay cash/paypal - also - if there's any...

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: 1987 Ibanez RG550 in Road Flare Red. First year of RG production. Made in Japan. Modifications (if any): all original. Orignal case included, but someone has painted a very Steve Vai-type art piece on it. Easy to remove if you want. Look at the...

Hello! Im looking to buy an original RG550 Road Flare Red from around '87, hopefully in good condition (neck w/o cracks) with original parts. If you're looking for an RG550 Lazer Blue '94 to trade we could make out a deal too! Thanks!

I'm not positive where this thread belongs, so if you feel it doesn't belong here please relocate it to the correct section. Thanks. I bought an Ibanez RG550 two years ago only to have it hang on my wall for two years. I unfortunately never play it, and it should go to someone who will play it...

Hi all, I have a black 1987 RG550 with a JEM77FP neck for sale. The RG550 is a 1987 model with a rosewood fingerboard in excellent condition for its age -- a few chips that have been touched up, some pickguard scuffing, but not a lot of pitting on the Edge trem or corrosion. electronics work...

Before I kick on in to this post I'd like to take a moment to tribute this to my father who just passed away this week and my uncle. Both were incredible people and I probably wouldn't be such a music/guitar nerd if it wasn't for their encouragement.. ..Now, on to the main topic. To make it...

Hello everyone, New user, part-time reader/lurker here! Basically, I'm about to buy a 1987 Ibanez RG DX (can't post pics yet). The owner asks 430€ for it, probably can talk him down a bit though. Specs-wise it's pretty close to being my ideal guitar, BUT other than the original Ibanez Edge...
