Yep

Because I discovered that there is actually a Candy Apple Red RG770DX, I would like some info on how to tell them apart..

I mean like in evilbay-listings, where the pictures are not always the best..

Also just to complicate things, wouldn't an early '92 model have a serial number indicating it was built in '91? So I would say also take a look at the tremolo. If it has the low pro edge it's a '92 CA (even if serial number starts with F1). If it has an original edge it's likely a '91 RR

i thought of one other way to tell the difference. '92 CA model should have pickups mounted directly to the body. the '91s should have pickups mounted to the pick guard.

Jono..i bet your guitar with the '91 SN (which appears to be CA) also has pickups mounted to the body instead of the pickguard. It would be cool to see pics. I don't know if i've ever seen a CA one. For whatever reason it seems RR pops up more often.
