I could tell it was coming, that's the only reason I booked the trip to Nasville, and I'm so glad I did! I LOVE THIS GUITAR!! It's the first guitar in some time that made me feel like a kid in a candy store again. Who wouldn't love this. Anybody that was into Joe at the time probably fell in...

did rg's really have these logos? When?

I am selling this after my deal on the auction site fell through. This is an awesome guitar. This is truly one of the very best playing guitars that I have ever picked up. Still has the Backstop. The original Radius model was used as the blueprint for the Satriani model and is kind of hard to...

A local guy is selling what appears to be a S series guitar but he claims its a Roadstar. It even says Roadstar onn the headstock which puzzles me. Was the first year S series called a Roadstar? I tried looking through various catalogues from the 80's but could not find the model I'm reffering...

On the local craigslist theres a guy selling an Ibanez 540s. The question I have is on the headstock it says roadstar. Now I own a 93 saber that was bought new and mine doesnt have that and I have never seen a saber with that. Is that a legit neck, did they put that on the headstock on certain...

I recently read an interview with Steve - he was quoted as saying that because he designed the RG out of the Jem, he gets royalties on quantity sold and gets the shipping numbers from Ibanez -and they indicate the RG has sold more than ANY OTHER GUITAR IN HISTORY EXCEPT THE STRATOCASTER. Quite...

Anyone know which logos were used on which guitars and why? For example, the modern Ibanez logo with the swoosh vs. the big one with just the Ibanez name (like on Petrucci's guitars)...any weird old logos, one-offs, etc.?

Looking to get trem-equipped JS in the house again and have a JS700 and 540R (Radius) for trade bait. The JS700 has a FRED in the bridge position and the stock Soapbar at the neck. It is a 1999 and was made in Japan with the "JS Custom" badge. It is in very good shape overall with a tip of the...

I took a risk on the bay with an auction that only had one bad photo of the guitar and picked up the one below. I don't know what model it is. Anyone? 22 frets with wide 12th fret dot spacing "Roadstar Series" style neck without words on headstock serial number P706793 'Made in Korea' Input...

Bought an older 540r off e**y. Really thought I would have it in my hands by now. It's been over a week now seller shipped USPS and there tracking info stinks. Really jonesing for this guitar, any happy 540R owners out there to let me know it's worth the wait.

hey im new here, i just picked up an old ibanez 540R its a great playing guitar, whats the deal with the radius line? i never see many for sale and there isnt much info online about them...anyways it seems to be an early model (first year?) its got the 3 switches and the push switch tone pot. i...

is there any diff between an edge trem and one stamped edge HS

This AT-ST Walker costs $ 1850.-! :o You really have to be a BIG Star wars fan to pay that kind of cash. :o And to think that it's priced down from it's original price: $ 2499! Wow! :o Myst

IMPORTANT NOTE - Patrick Sims NO RELATION to Martin Sims the builder of Vai's LED guitar The two just share a same background of guitar custom work and the same last name. Swirled this today to ultimately sell. I really like the colors, but not sure if the swirl is good enough. So my question...

What's the difference, besides the pickups, between a JEM and an RG550 that makes the JEM a better guitar? My RG550 have the Edge tremolo. Thanks.

to become the JS? Ive read lots of posts from people complaining about Joe ruining their perfect guitar :D when did this happen? what year Radius's are the original shape? thx!

It seems that I've become addicted to these. I had several 540R gits a while back and sold them all but one (the blue one). Now look at me. Sheez. Frank, if you see this, FB is itching for the maple neck...

Why only JS model have the 240mm radius neck but not RG model? I perfer thicker neck and slightly high action too. What to you guys perfer?

Lately I put a Roadstar Series neck on one of my 540Rs that says "Roadstar Series" on the headstock. Great neck BTW. In the photo of Joe in the liner notes of Dreaming where he is kicked back with boots on the table and his guitar sticking up in the air you can see the same Roadstar Series logo...

Hi all, I had just received my new digital camera as a present for Christmas and the first thing I've done is take some photos of my lovely ibanez modded axes: First: this has been my main axe for years, but I suffered the lack of a serious tremolo system....then I found a local guy that bought...
