Ibanez RG 1989 Made in Japan - Almost perfect but one glaring flaw...

[razor5cl]

Spotted this one on Reverb a week or two ago and it's been on my mind constantly. Killer looking bass, love the RG shape - hardly ever see it in bass but the guitars are just so timeless, reminds me of the 80s shredders. PJ pickups and a nice looking neck, Gotoh tuners too. It's got my name written all over it, and I'd already be thinking of buying it but for one fatal flaw.

 

What on Earth is that finish? Glam went out of fashion almost 40 years ago!

I'm definitely feline something about it. Pity it's not a 5

 

I got one of the new ones recently and being "any colour as long as it's black" seems like a missed opportunity

These were his in-between moustache days, what a journey...

Some hairspray rock bands would still have been alive and well around '89; the Likes of Poison, for example. Unfortunately for them, a certain band from Seattle upset the apple cart a mere two years later.
