Ibanez Roadster Series RS 100 Ivory 1979

When the Roadster series came out, the base model RS-100 cranked out staggering tones. This one has been well-loved for over 40 years and is still rocking. If you are looking for a swiss-army single-coil weapon, this could be your next go-to axe!

Here is some info straight from the Ibanez brochure for the RS series:

Accu-Cast Bridge Tailpiece: The weak point of many guitars of this type has been flimsy stamped bridge parts. The Roadster features a new Ibanez design, the precision Accu-Cast bridge. This bridge tailpiece features a united sustain block and through-the-body string loading. Each bridge insert is individually adjustable for both height and intonation length.

Super 6 and Super-Tap 6 Pickups: Single coil pickups have often been criticized as being thin and weak sounding. The RS-100 features Super 6 pickups, the hottest single coils of their type ever to scream a hot lick. Wound with twice the windings of conventional single coils, and with a new magnet structure, the Super 6 delivers its awesome output with clarity, fullness and excellent top end.

...and Now the Fine Points: The Roadster Series also features many details that combine to make it the most advanced high-performance guitar of its type available anywhere. The slim maple neck is satin finished for smooth and effortless playing and is fitted with Ibanez Velve-Touch frets to make the action even more buttery. A solid brass nut is hand-fitted to the fingerboard to improve sustain and brilliance. The list goes on, so check out a Roadster for the ride of your life.
