HOw many people have: RS1000/RS1300/1400/1500 on this site? Does anyone on here own or collect these guitars? Does anyone know how many were made? How rare are they...? Did they come in any other colours than Cherry Sunburst and Marine Sunburst....? Anyone got one for sale...? Many thanks   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Monday, March 26, 2007 - 9:24 pm:    Lukather: I have an '85 RS1300TR. The 1300 came in Natural, black and Transparent Red.   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Monday, March 26, 2007 - 9:42 pm:    Johns, I believe there are also a few cherry sunburst and marine sunburst 1300s floating around. Lukather, search this site by keyword;specifically the Roadstar Q&A topics; and you'll find a bunch of information regaurding the models you've asked about. In fact, I know Mr. Roadstar posted build numbers in one of the threads. BTW, the 1400 was only available in Silver Smoke, and the 1500 in Brown Sunburst, js   Cmangeot Username: Cmangeot Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 8:43 am:    I own an RS1500, the single coils and electronics make for every single coil tone under the sun. VERY noisy though, when gain is added. I am considering the Suhr backplate silencer. It acts like a dummy coil and is supposed to dramatically reduce 60 cycle hum.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 11:10 am:    Jeff: I see that the '84 RS1300 came in CSB, but can't find any docs that say it came in MSB. Would be neat to own one, though. Don't you own any of the above models?   Roadartstar Username: Roadartstar Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 11:54 am:    I have an RS1000 (sunburst) and 2 RS525's in both cherry sunburst and brown sunburst very nice guitars i dont know manufacture numbers.   Lukather Username: Lukather Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 12:07 pm:    I Own... RS 315 CS RS 315 MS RS 505 CS RS 1010 SL RS 1400 ss I love these guitars and believe that they some of the better looking and sounding guitars Ibanez have made...and now most of them are over 20years.old and sound even better... I'm looking for mint examples if anyones looking to sell. ..only need RS 1000 cs...theres a few about but I'm looking for a good one.. RS 1300 nt or black...never seen a black one..

I believe there are a few about.. Anyone have pictures of a black RS1300? thanks   Lukather Username: Lukather Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 12:13 pm:    Hello...sorry forgot to ask does anyone have production numbers (how many produced) for RS315 RS505 RS1010sl RS1000 RS1300 RS1500 Thanks...   Lespaul Username: Lespaul Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 2:41 pm:    When does that damn Bear get out of hibernation?   Orval Username: Orval Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 7:33 pm:    http://www.mr-ibanez.com/id23.htmon there is a photo of a late 1983 rs1300bk/b which is black with black hardware. this should start some discussion as there are some that say that the rs1300 was not available in 1983.   Orval Username: Orval Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 10:16 pm:    lets try that link again http://www.mr-ibanez.com/id23.htm   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 6:15 am:    Here's a link to the thread in which Mr roadstar posted a picture of an RS1300MS. http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/cgi-bin/discus/dis cus.cgi?pg=prev&topic=12&page=4551 I have the following: RS1000CS RS1010SL RS1300TR RS1400 RS1500 I recently sold a RS530MS and a red RS315. js   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 6:23 am:    And here's a link to a discussion in which Mr Roadstar (aka "The Bear") posted the production numbers for the RS1300. You'll also find a photo of Meranti's RS1300CS... http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/57 51/5812.html#POST30090 Lukather, This site has a very nice keyword search function that will enable you to discover all the information you need. You just have to dig a bit. js   Lukather Username: Lukather Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 8:28 am:    Hi...so the totals for the RS1300...are 1569...does anyone have a comprehensive list of the guitars listed below an colours? RS315 RS505 RS1010sl RS1000 RS1300 - 1569 RS1500 Thanks   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 8:31 am:    Jeff: Thanks for doing the homework on this thread and tracking down that RS1300MS picture. (Looks like you are taking over Mr_Roadstar's duties, until hibernation is over. ) Now, I've got to find one. But I do like the RS1010SL, 2nd version's ebony board and snowflake inlays. Can you hear a difference between the 1010's Special Super 58s and the 1300's "regular" Super 58s?   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 8:34 am:    Lukather: Here's a picture of the RS1300BK from the '85 catalog:   Lukather Username: Lukather Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 2:23 pm:    That is quite nice...may have to put that on the list to add to the collection...

Dealers...collectors.. thanks   Lukather Username: Lukather Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 2:46 pm:    Briefly..can anyone tell me how to post pictures..thanks   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 4:36 pm:    Lukather: Where are you going to get a (near) top-of-the-line Ibanez guitar for $300.00? Grab it! Here's exactly how to post pictures: http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/FAQMain.html   Yogi Username: Yogi Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 6:18 pm:    Just to add some confusion: There is a Roadstar model RS1100 that was exclusively available in Germany. It's basically a RS1000 but with a black finish and black hardware. According to a review in a German magazine the specs furthermore include a Hard Rocker Pro Trem, a special designed Super58 Bridge Pickup with higher output and a resistance of approx. 14,50 KOhm (similar to a RS1010SL), Push/Push pots and a Fingerboard with 22 Frets. Orval, the guitar on your site that you're referring to as being a RS1300 has only 2 control knobs and the Output Jack is located on the top. Could it be that it's actually a RS1100? Juergen   Lukather Username: Lukather Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 6:44 pm:    I have asked about the Black RS1000..its sold unfortunatley...!!! Just bought this beauty...never played...absolutely mint...original case.. C:\Documents and Settings\hamza_\My Documents\ibanez pictures Has anyone had any experience on re-gold plating existing guitar part? trems...machine heads pickup covers...( i bet i'm asking questions that have been asked before ...arent I? will check ) JohnS...will purchase RS1300 tomorrow...I have images...if anyones interested Anyone got a RS1500 like this will pay good $$$ thanks   Orval Username: Orval Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 8:08 pm:    juergen, my rs1300 was a late 83 model. there is an rs1300bk/bk listed in the mid 83 price sheet but there was no rs1100 listed at all. thats why i classified it as a very early rs1300. without stripping the black paint off we will never know. orval
