Rare Ibanez (only 60 ever made with e-mail from Ibanez to prove)

[swan101]

i need help in finding a model cause Ibanez cant help me with a model but they know it was made in '87 and there were only 60 ever made....
It has a neck IBZUSA pickup and a bridge SHADOW pick-up.
It has a number pad on it that i believe is for effects???
It has a normal Jack socket input and a midi type input???

Welcome,

First of all, I must say that this doesn't make sense.
If Hoshino can confirm that there were only 60 made, they must be able to tell you what model it is.
Btw, I don't see any pictures.
I couldn't find anything in the 1987 pricelist that has these mentioned features.

He remembers only that it was a MIDI guitar combining Shadow's system and it was based on 540R-HH. According to the serial number, it was produced on 1987. It seems that the production quantity of this model was only 60pcs in total"

O.K., the Pro 540R is on the list, but not the HH.
Doesn't really matter.

So, that's about $800.- for a normal 540R.
So, the value of a normal one is about $400 - $528.- (1/2 - 2/3).
Add let's say $150-200 for that 'rare' MIDI-system.

That would make between $550 and $728.-

My guess: about $650.-

But let's hear what the Sultan says. Dave?
