I was fortunate enough to purchase an Ibanez Roadstar 2 RS1300MS (Marine Sunburst) many moons ago (about 15 years). I read in a post on this site that only 6 were made. Indeed, I haven't seen another guitar quite like the one I have among the may Roadstar 2s I've viewed on the Web. Is this true? If so, then given its rarity, any estimates on how much it is worth? Thanks.

Just got this RS1300 recently. Does anyone know the total production of the RS1300 model?

RS1300

The pups have been changed to DiMarzios and I have to say the tremelo unit is not the best part of the guitar.

Yes, I do, but not here at the office. I'll post 'em tonight.

I can confirm only 6 RS1300MS built (unless the Captain has evidence to the contrary).

The ProRock'R trem seems to get a lot of thumbs-down votes.

Thanks Steve,

Mine is an '84 model. As to the trem, I can only describe it as a damping machine. I love the stuff Ibanez puts out but this is definitely not one of them.

Another frustration is getting spares for the older Ibanez. I am sure many of you would agree?

Mr Roadstar, let's the Captain's log show that it was a 20th century reference knows as a "tag team effort" was used to disfuse a potentially volitile situation in the 21st century....now helmsman warp 5 ..........engage..


BTW, please don't feel that the Captain treats his collum, like a Trekkie's episode.....sometimes, it just feel appropriate with the "elders" of this page, and trust me taxdodger's you are a part of some of the finest minds on the planet when it comes to your Q & A concerning Ibanez products, there are somethings that not even Captain Ibanez can do all by his self from time to time. This is why I personally appreciate help from my fellow members of the "Temple of Hoons" and you all know who you are.

Captain Ibanez :)
