For sale: Ibanez RT250AM made in Japan 1993 this model is not listed in any catalogs but is similar to the RT240. Neckpocket lists this as a RT250.

I can't find any reference to an RT240. Where did you see it? The RT250 is on page 25 of the 1993 catalog (FEB93008). Cheers The Bear |

Welcome 10pizzza, I have an RT240VS. It looks like this: http://www.geocities.com/xcvxcv65/ibanez/blueibane z-92rt.htm And I have a Dutch article about it in an old Music Maker magazine. I would have to look it up. You would probably have to remind me of it, because I have a lot to do this week. Delti-Com (autobandenmarkt.nl) didn't send me my Bridgestone tyres that I wanted to have installed before APK inspection. So if I don't get my car inspected in time, I risk a EUR 95 fine, just because some employee messed up. I think I'm going to call the head office in Germany in the morning. I've been waiting since October 25th and I'm really . And I have several appointments this week for which I need my car. So if I forget to make a scan for you, please mail me next week. BTW, the RT240 has TWO single coils and ONE humbucker. I wouldn't be surprised if your guitar is actually an RT450AM. http://www.ibanez.ru/info/catalog/1993/24.jpg Ginger |

None of the RT models in my catalogs have a hum/sing/sing pickup arrangement. The RT240 may have been a non-USA market model. The RT250 and RT450 share the same hum/single/hum pickup configuration. The only difference I see is the pickups. RT250 = V6F/RTS/V6F RT450 = V7/S2/V8 RT's were a very short-lived series. They first appear in the 1992-93 supplement. They are not found in the 1994 catalog. The Bear |

The specs list of the RT240 of the Blue Horizon site is not correct: there is NO RTS neck humbucker in the RT240. I like the feel of the neck of the RT. Ginger |

That would be the "Viper" neck profile. One of my favorites also. Not as radical as the "Wizard" or "Wizard II". The Bear |

haha! lots of confusion around this model I've done some research myself. This model is probably a non-US model released in Europe. The neck-pocket identifies it as a RT250. The color is Amber. But it does have the thick 'viper' neck and other hardware same as the RT240 as I believe nice guitar, but I hardly play it since I've got a n S540 as well |

I got an e-mail on the 6th (actually APK date) that they will send me my Bridgestones on the 13th. Still risky, but I want those Potenzas. And I can't get an appointment sooner now anyway. Ginger |
