Used 1983 Ibanez RS1000CS Roadstar II Vintage Electric Guitar

Description

The 1983 Ibanez RS1000CS Roadstar II is a highly desirable vintage Japanese electric guitar from an important transitional period in Ibanez history. The Roadstar II series helped establish the foundation for the performance-focused Ibanez guitars that would dominate later in the decade, while retaining a distinctly early-'80s combination of traditional styling, premium Japanese craftsmanship, and innovative hardware and electronics.

Built in Japan, the RS1000 was positioned toward the upper end of the Roadstar II family and is particularly appealing today for players and collectors interested in original Golden Era Ibanez instruments. Its double-cutaway body provides comfortable access across the neck, while the versatile electronics allow it to cover everything from articulate clean sounds and bluesy breakup to muscular rock rhythm tones and singing leads.

The CS designation denotes the Cherry Sunburst finish, giving this Roadstar II a classic appearance that contrasts nicely with the more aggressive styling Ibanez would become known for later in the 1980s.

As an original 1983 example, this RS1000CS offers genuine vintage Japanese character rather than a modern recreation. It is an excellent choice for classic rock, blues, fusion, progressive music, hard rock, and studio work, while its age, model, and place in Ibanez history give it strong appeal for collectors of vintage MIJ guitars.
