USED Ibanez / Roadstar II Series / RS520 Black 1984 [05]

We have received a 1984 Ibanez RS520.

The RS520 was introduced in 1984 as part of the Roadstar II Series. It is a rare model that was only part of the lineup for a short period, until around 1985, and the unit we’ve received is a valuable example from the first year of production.

The 1984 model features a birch top and basswood back, whereas models produced from 1985 onward were made entirely of basswood.
The neck is made of maple, and the fingerboard is rosewood, with 24 frets.
The volume controls are both push/push-type, providing a Duo Sound (coil tap) function.

It shows signs of wear typical of a long-used instrument, such as scratches, dents, and tarnish or rust on the metal parts; however, after arrival, it was inspected and fully adjusted by a professional repair technician, and it is in good playing condition.

The tremolo arm is missing. A non-original soft case (for semi-acoustic guitars) featuring the Ibanez logo is included.
