Hi! I have written a message in another message board "Cool Contemporary Electrics" about an Ibanez RX a friend wants to sell me. I am totally unable to find what is the model of this guitar. John told me he couldn't find it in the catalogs.
Here is the link to the message
IBANEZ RX

Please help!

Abzalon, its a RX270FM AM.Its a model that was available for the Japan domestic market.The features of this guitar are consistant with the RX270 available for the USA/ Australian market, although the knobs and switch cap where used on the RX350 model of that time.Sadly, though we never saw this model downunder. It's a great looking guitar...hope it plays well for you.

Hmm that's strange. The US RX 270 seems not to have push-pull pots or even splitable humbucker. Are the powersound humbuckers splitable? Is there a way to know exactly the type of pickups it has (disassembly?)

Do you have other pictures of RX270FM AM?
Do you know what is its value?

The sound is ok in clean but not that good in distortion. Actually, I only have Gibson's so the single coil sound is new to me.

I finally disassemble the neck. There was a sticker on the body and a print on the neck. On both it's written RX-670!!
Never heard of that model! And you?
