It's got a Roadstar designation on the headstock, which is the current tilt-back goose-beak style. It's a "square" body/neck joint, mahogany body H/S/S configuration with master volume and tone (coil tap tone pot), on/off switch for each pup, Edge vibrato. It's not a Power, it doesn't have the squared-off edges. It looks an awful lot like the Radius shape, that is, it doesn't have the symmetrical bevel like the Sabre. Only thing is, it's in Pearl White, and I haven't seen any lit from Ibanez offering the early Radius in that finish. Any help in identifying this would be appreciated. |

What's the date and/or serial number? What is on the neckplate? What kind of pickups? If you really want to know the model number remove the neck and look at what is stamped in the neck cavity. Or post a picture. |

They're IBZ USA pups. The neckplate is worn down so much that the serial # is illegible. I'll post a pic as soon as I can. |

What you have there is one of the first Radius guitars. They were part of the Roadstar series in '87. The model number should be RG440R. The Power and Sabre models share the same convoluted beginnings as the Radius. Steve |
