Ibanez V

[usagi]

Hey all,
I'm looking at maybe picking an old cheap Ibanez that appears to be a RR style body. Anybody know if they ever made something like this or if it's somebodies home project? It definitely has an Ibanez neck. Thanks.

I don't remember ever seeing a "sharkfin" body instrument made by Ibanez, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time I was incorrect.

PR1660 or so ...

Yeah. I nearly bought on about 9 years ago I think. Not bad guitars .... but not a Jackson

Well some jerk out bid me on it. Sigh, I'm thinking I'll save up and build a warmoth instead.

Re: Ibanez V

Ibanez made a V styled guitar in the early 80's called the "Rocket Roll"

See:

The Rocket Roll had a bolt on neck.
There was also a "Rocket Roll II" which had a set neck (or vice versa)

The quality was pretty good for the price. I believe I paid around $400.00 for a new one in '82 - 83'

I believe Usagi was referring to an Ibanez with a Jackson Randy Rhoads style body, which would probably be the PR series I think.

Now you guys are making me think I just have bid more agressively for the thing. I'm a big Ibanez fan. :grumble: Maybe next time.
