SADLY, SHORTLY AFTER GRADUATING & MOVING OUT IN 1984, I HAD TO SELL IT TO EAT. MY GRANDFATHER PASSED AWAY THIS PAST DECEMBER 2004, AND I AM ON THE SEARCH TO FIND AND KEEP THIS INSTRUMENT. I'M SPECIFICALLY LOOKING FOR ONE AS PICTURED BELOW IN ITS STOCK CONDITION WITH HARDSHELL CASE.

THIS REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME. I FOUND THIS FORUM, AND JOINED SPECIFICALLY TO FIND THIS INSTRUMENT, NOT TO MENTION, I'VE OWNED ABOUT A DOZEN KILLER IBANEZ GUITARS OVER THE YEARS.   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2005 - 9:33 pm:    Here goes: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33043&item=7331091538 good luck! js   Tonyflyingsquirrel Username: Tonyflyingsquirrel Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2005 - 11:23 pm:    Thank you for the link, but if you view my pics, it's the same version with the hard rocker pro trem, that's the only difference. Thank you for the link though.   Laaz Username: Laaz Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2005 - 8:27 am:    Tony the model you are looking for is the RR-550CS made in 1983 through early 84, the model above is a 1982 RR-400CS.   Tonyflyingsquirrel Username: Tonyflyingsquirrel Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2005 - 10:50 am:    What is the difference? I've looked closely and it appears to be the same as my RR-550CS was.   Laaz Username: Laaz Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2005 - 12:20 pm:    The RR-400 had a true v shape & was not offered with a trem. The RR-550 had a uneven outer edge on both sides of the v & was also only offered with the trem. The 400 had the "Rocket Roll II" logo The 550 had the "X Series" logo   Laaz Username: Laaz Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2005 - 12:25 pm:    Also the toggle switch is in a different location & the inner v is more rounded making the guitar look wider than the RR-400   Laaz Username: Laaz Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2005 - 12:30 pm:    RR-400 RR-550   Tonyflyingsquirrel Username: Tonyflyingsquirrel Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2005 - 2:27 pm:    your images did not work, but I'm sure you are correct, mine was in fact a RR550, I just was not sure what the difference was. I am indeed looking for the 550, just as is pictured with the tremolo. Thank you for your input, for those of you looking, thank you as well.   Joeyangel Username: Joeyangel Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 8:56 pm:    Found one but in wine red. Thought you might like to take a look at it. Keep in mind that the price is in Aussie dollars.

IF YOU SEE MY LINKS, I'M LOOKING FOR THE SET NECK, CHERRRY SUBURST VERSION. COOL FIND THOUGH. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE ADDED THE STRAT-JACK. THANKS FOR THINKING OF ME.
