Ibanez Roadstar
This is an authentic Ibanez made in Japan in the '80s with the original hardshell case. Ibanez no longer makes the Roadstar model, but you can find it on Ebay sometimes.
I love the red glow around the edges.
"The Ultimate Expression of Craftmanship" written on the headstock. In fact, this guitar does have superior craftmanship.
Contrary to popular belief, many bolt-on guitars have as much sustain as neck-thru guitars.
This is one of the very first Edge tremolos - by far the best licensed Floyd Rose on the market. I've been abusing this tremolo for more than 20 years, and the tuning stability is still flawless. These are stock Ibanez pickups. They have moderate output, making chords sound clean with distortion.
Made in Japan and the serial number are engraved on the backplate
In terms of quality control, Ibanez has always been one of the best guitar companies. Except for some minor adjustments, I've never had to do any work on this guitar.
