From my research I have not found any evidence that Ibanez ever made a 560 with a maple fingerboard. Can you tell me anything about the guitar and what it may be worth.

It's my understanding that the RG500 series back in the late 80s could be ordered with either a maple or a rosewood board. The RG560 adn 570 came as standard with rosewood, and the RG550 with maple, but that it was indeed possible to get the guitars the other way around if your dealer ordered them like that for you. I've also seen MANY aftermarket swaps. I'd say that the guitar will be worth no more and no less than any other RG560 in the same condition. Models with matching headstocks do tend to fetch a small premium imho.

It also has the RG sticker in back of the headstock next to the serial #. Because off those things I am sure whatever happened occurred at the factory. I can post the serial and a picture if that will help Jono Username: Jono Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - 2:16 pm:    If it has a matching headstock, then either someone's been very picky with what swaps have gone on or I'd wager more likely someone ordered it from their dealer that way. Either way it's probably a very nice guitar :D
