Is that the thin "Saber" (Sabre?) style body, rather than the more rounded "Radius" style body which ended up as the basis of Satriani's JS models? It's hard for me to see the picture properly on this computer.
Whatever it is, I like those '80s models more than the RG types, they're just that bit less sharp-edged and pointy, more classic looking. :D

I don't think I can have my nineties hair anymore though. It's receded sufficiently now that I think I'd look like Nick Cave if I tried it. Face melting guitar solos on the other hand...
Nice guitar. It should have the model number on the back of the headstock. Every Ibanez guitar i've played other tha really old 80s ones have this.
With my newer S series from indonesia they also added the model, but it seems back then things were different.Nice guitar. It should have the model number on the back of the headstock. Every Ibanez guitar i've played other tha really old 80s ones have this.
Thanks. There's a serial number (which shows it as being a '92 built instrument) and the "Made in Japan" logo but no model number that I can see.
Have you tried somethings like this http://www.guitardaterproject.org/ibanez.aspx (http://www.guitardaterproject.org/ibanez.aspx) to maybe get some info on the model out of the serial?
I think I've ID'd the little swine and I reckon it's a 440S which seems to be the same as its contemporary 540S other than the pickups are cheaper, it has dot markers, and it has the original Edge rather than a Lo Pro Edge:
I think I may have a copy of that catalogue at home! What year was it?
(Blimey, those neck dimensions! :o )
far as i'm aware the edge and lo-pro are of the same quality, just one is low profile and the other isn't. at the time (this is before i played guitar, so i'm just guessing here) I would imagine the newer lo-pro was considered by ibanez to be an upgrade, but i know now that they're considered to be equal, in fact most players probably prefer the original edge. :lol:
