Ibanez Roadstar Strat s - genuine MIJ lawsuit guitar.
Ibanez RS240 Roadstar s made in Japan, in fantastic ungigged condition. This is one of the guitars that Ibanez built its reputation on, one of the notorious lawsuit guitars of the s. For those of you that don't know, most USA manufacturers relaxed their quality control and upped their production in the s resulting in a glut of poor quality instruments. A small number of Japanese manufacturers, notably Ibanez and Tokai, started knocking out clone guitars that were actually better than the originals. This is one of them. It's a pretty straightforward Strat copy, two single coils and a himbucker on the bridge. The bridge is a floating spring trem style, and doesn't have the arm, so you'll need to get one or tighten up the springs to stop it moving around. It's reliable and holds its tune when it's strung and set up properly. Closed Fender style tuners, v shaped strapholders, I'll chuck in a set of strings, very quiet when it's plugged in. It's better made and just sits nicer in the hand than current Ibanez, Pacifica, or Squier strats, mostly because it's been in light use for thirty years; if it was matchwood it would have disintegrated by now. It would suit a beginner fine if you hardtailed the trem, or an upgrade for someone who wanted a backup, or someone who fancies a protect changing the bridge and playing with setups. I'm not far from Oval and I'm around a lot for you to collect it. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
