The Details
This Ibanez Roadstar II RS440 is a wonderfully evocative survivor from the golden age of Japanese electric guitar building. Finished in a rich metallic red with black guard, it carries all the hallmarks of the mid-1980s superstrat revolution: sharp styling, versatile electronics, and a neck designed for effortless speed.
The HSS pickup layout offers a broad tonal palette, from crisp single-coil sparkle to powerful bridge humbucker punch, making it equally at home with blues, classic rock, fusion, or full-throttle shred. The double-locking tremolo system keeps things stable during suitably dramatic excursions into whammy-bar territory.
Condition is very good for its age, with various cosmetic marks and chips shown in the photographs, including some lacquer wear around the headstock and body edges. These are purely cosmetic and add to the instrument’s well-travelled charm. Hardware and electronics appear original, preserving that authentic Roadstar spirit collectors and players adore.
