Members Sensates Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I've always love Les Pauls, never thought I would become a Strat(although a copy one) guy! It's a Ibanez MIJ Roadstar II RS135, the previous owner changed the pickups and saddles to Fenders, replace the worn pickguard and did a refret job. Not so sure about how the gold decals and the sunburst finish comes along, haven't seen another one like that so far on google. Anyway this thing rocks!

Members cratz2 Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 What year is it? I'm a LONG time Roadstar (since ~1983) and I don't remember seeing one exactly like that one. And as dimmypage said, welcome to the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lizards??? Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Its a different body shape than most roadstars. Looks awesome though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toadroller Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Welcome to the RS135 club. Love the burst. My stocker: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carbohydrates Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Definitely a rather unique take on the strat, but with a classic flair all the same. I'm not huge on 3-tone sunburst in general, but in this case, it helps with the modern/vintage dichotomy. Happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stanfield Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 good on ya man. Looks like a post-'84 neck to me.. it has the 22nd fret.You've got a bit of an oddball on your hands. I suspect it's a total parts-o-star. You've got a neck and bridge made after 1985, and i'm not sure where the body came from, but it is not a RS135 body - as it was never offered in brown sunburst. Roadstar spec chart I suspect it's an RS100, 125 or 205 body from 1983/84 - they came in Brown Sunburst,without being equiped with a floating trem. Kind of a too bad in a way, 'cause those three guitars would be killer in their original form, minus the stock pups fo the RS100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members freehandarson Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 HNGD! Roadstars are awesome. All the old ibanezes...roadstars, artists, studios, etc...they're all fantastic guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sensates Posted May 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks for the infos! I was wrong about the model, just saw that it is actually an RG135, which makes it an '87 neck. This is certainly a neck to die for!! Now I will be looking out for a twin humbucker version of the RS soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stanfield Posted May 12, 2009 Members Share Posted May 12, 2009 Stick to the RG's.. you wouldn't like the original series.. they are garbage. Terrible really. I shall take it upon myself to dispose of such atrocities. www.ibanezregister.com The Old Gallery / The New Gallery are great resources. Someone I linked this to recently replied that it was virus happy.. I've been visiting it since 2005 without a hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted May 12, 2009 Members Share Posted May 12, 2009 They are great necks... I have an 85 RS240 and an 83 RS1000. VERY different necks, but I love both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
