Hey, I've got one for sale or trade towards a jem....exc+++, OHSC, nice. Also, does anyone have more info on this guitar? I've read about it in a bunch of guitar books, ended up buying on impulse. I rarely play this thing because I am afraid of damaging it -- all my explorer and sharp shaped guitars are nicked at the tips...except this one.

I used to have one. A friend of mine now owns it. They frequently sell on eBay for about $250... Not a great guitar (god, those pro rocker trems are awful!), but cool looking, and the two tone blend finishes were great... The neck on mine reminded me of my Maxxas...

I just picked up one of these. I traded a Roadstar for it.

(the sign at the top of the page was on the case...one of the kids working at the shop I got it from apparently didn't like it much!)

Terri,

Very cool! How does it sound/play? I've kinda had a hankerin' for one. I like the blue/blue better than the purple/pink paint job.

Jimi,

Sounds like you have first hand experience with the ProRock'R. Please, give us the low down!

Cheers
Steve

hi all,,,
i had a blue one before,,it got stolen
bought another one on e-bay
love em both
dont know why jimi-d has a problem with the prorocker trems
i have another x series(i think a 250 or 350)that has the same trem also,,,they in my opinion are much much better than the floyd rose that was on another ibanez i had before (sold it)
thet are hard to come by in good shape
approximately 2000 of the blue were made and 1800 of the pink,,,all of em were made in 1985

Brazy,

Your other "X" is a DT350. The DT250 used the PowerRock'r trem. I don't know what to think about the ProRock'r now. I haven't had the opportunity to mess with one myself. However, I have heard/read comments form great to horrible from other players. I have no problem with any of the Edge, PowerRock'r or HardRock'r trems on my Roadstars.

Cheers
Steve
