Yeah, it looks like a 1982 BL550 - brass trem, phase switching, metal knobs, white plate. The pups are ceramic with Q-P style ferrous poles (covers removed, I imagine, they're white too). Good price.

Rare beast: '86 RG425 - HH (middle/bridge, clear Kramer Nightswan influence). Very few come up for sale, no doubt due to paucity of manufactured examples. Edge trem, ceramic pups (both splittable), oil finished neck.

Touch of class - '86 RG562. I think this was a Japan only variant - black with gold hardware, ceramic HH, Edge, usual Ibanez woods, painted neck. Overpriced but in good shape: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Iba...602944?hash=item4afb0e5f00:g:55QAAOSwAuNW5la5

^^ You know you want it .

This is another hot item (burning a hole in my mind), PL2550 - 5pc neck through, alder wings, ebony, binding, multiple switching options, viewed by some as a Soloist killer.

Rare one - all black RS1100; ebony board, Super 58 pups. They come along every so often: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-198...824563?hash=item464ca88a33:g:XDcAAOSwiYFXFX2u

Niels, your RG560 needs a friend . http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibanez-Road...443487?hash=item41a8d5939f:g:qHUAAOSwZ8ZXAyZ-

Another rare beast (hideously overpriced), made from leftover Roadstar bits, I imagine (Japan only). The Dyuke - ash body, ebony board, mini hums. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980s-Ibane...sh=item33b5ac721c:g:XgsAAOSwgApXDBeY#viTabs_0

There's a $90 Roadstar II on CL in my area.

Looks like a 1985 RS 135 that's had a bucker added in the bridge and replacement scratchplate. Good price! Power Rocker trem on these isn't the greatest but the rest a good platform to build on; necks are particularly nice.
