What a beautiful guitar!
I'd love to own one myself.
I almost got to buy a beautiful, dark green metallic S-series , 10 years ago. Maple fretboard... I still regret I didn't buy it!
Old Ibanezes, to my experience, are much better than the newer ones.
If somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!

Plus, back in the days the cheap ones come with POS pickups, INF and Powersound level crap. These days even the entry level ones come with Dimarzios.

How so? Old Ibanezes with tremolo most likely have crack on the back of the headstock by now due to the rear mounted nut.

The Edge is what makes it better than every sub-1500 ibby excepting the genesis models.
The value of the guitar would depend greatly on the condition of the trem.
If its pitted, corroded, and rusted, then it is <75 for the trem. If its in relatively new condition, then 300. Everyone is looking to swap their old corroded Edge for a better one. You cant easily buy new ones like you can with a FR.

It's actually a modification of the previous year's "Roadstar" body shape that was tested prior to the introduction of the formal "RG" in the shape we know today. Think of it as a production version of the "original" RG prototype. They smoothed out the horns, moved the pickups forward and left the body edges more square, but you can see from the general outline, the body routing to accommodate the extra frets and the old-style control cavity plate that this was really an original "Roadstar" body at its core.
1986-88 was the most exciting period at Ibanez and they were trying all sorts of new things. Many of these concepts came from the mind of Rich Lasner and the other guys out of the L.A. custom shop, who were regularly modifying bodies and sending their ideas to Hoshino in Japan. They actually created the Maxxas, RG, JEM, 540P and the Radius, which later became the Joe Satriani model. Basically, all the models that Ibanez is known for today, LOL!
BTW, Rich Lasner went on to design the Yamaha Pacifica, the Modulus guitars, and many others. Seriously cool stuff.

I got it through backdoor listing (if you know what I mean), that's why it was so cheap. I got my Gravity Storm set in bllue and an assortment of SDs (JB, Hot Rail, Jazz, 59) also in this fashion.“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt

I also have a RG3XXV, blue one, come stock with D Activator and Air Norton single. Indonesian made, very very cheap about 5 bills. Not MIJ but killer looking guitar for sure.
