What is this thing? Need help with my new Ibanez

[christlike42]

I love this guitar, but was hoping to find out more about it!  I have no clue on the model, but I will try to describe it the best I can. 
The guitar is a VERY dark stained wood (almost black) with a set neck.  It is a string-through bridge.  The headstock has 3x3 tuners and IBANEZ is inlaid with abalone.  The fretboard is clean with the exception of two small inlaid dots at the 12th fret.  The neck has got abalone binding starting from the socket and running through the headstock. 
Hope all you experts can help.  Also, did these have pickguards on them?
Thanks!

Hi. We'll need pictures. If you have an approximate idea of the guitar's age, you can also flip through these online catalogs to find the model:

Look for the serial number, then you know in what year you must look.
We can help you interpreting the serial number of course.
String through bridge...
Has it got a ball back?
