There are only so many model numbers...

July 24, 2011 11:08 PM

Looking for the specific model of an Ibanez RG guitar before I sell it. Pictures inside!

Sending this one out into the world and getting an acoustic instead, but I'd like to have all the info in the listing, and I can't for the life of me remember what the model number is.

I can tell you that it's

• Brown
• Pointy
• Has panels on the back, and
• Has V7 and V8 pickups

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah can't see any of those pics. Is there a serial number on the headstock or anything? That's gonna be your best bet.

Weirdly, I can see your pics if I hover over the links (with cooliris) but clicking on the fourth one gives me the 404 (from the UK) but I know fuck-all about guitars.

Best answer: Ask on jemsite.com, they will know more than you can believe there is to know.

Also, there should be a sticker on the back of the headstock that identifies the model number (e.g. RG570, RG470, RG1570, etc.)

The serial number encodes the date of manufacture.

Response by poster: Ack, that's what I get for putting my pictures on a half-finished site. Sorry about that.

I'll ask the folks on jemsite.com then. Thanks for the link!
