I read in a post on this site that only 6 were made. Indeed, I haven't seen another guitar quite like the one I have among the may Roadstar 2s I've viewed on the Web. Is this true? If so, then given its rarity, any estimates on how much it is worth? Thanks. Meranti (Meranti) Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 11:09 pm:    Just got this RS1300 recently. Does anyone know the total production of the RS1300 model? The pups have been changed to DiMarzios and I have to say the tremelo unit is not the best part of the guitar. Regards, Meranti Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2004 - 12:33 pm:    Yes, I do, but not here at the office. I'll post 'em tonight. I can confirm only 6 RS1300MS built (unless the Captain has evidence to the contrary). The ProRock'R trem seems to get a lot of thumbs-down votes.

As to the trem, I can only describe it as a damping machine. I love the stuff Ibanez puts out but this is definitely not one of them. Another frustration is getting spares for the older Ibanez. I am sure many of you would agree?
