Check the Roadstar Spec Sheet:

http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/RSSpecs83-88-icw.html

There were 4 different bridges available in 1984:
ProRock'r
Hardrocker Pro
Powerocker
Brass I

Washburn had no affiliation with Hoshino at the time. Hardware was obtained from local (Japanese) vendors.

Fingers:

If it says Washburn on it, it's not original. If you know what year and model, we could help determine what the original trem was.

The Washburn trem is probably a Wonderbar.
