USA Custom Graphic's
Pre-Production & Unknown

It has authentic Pamelina artwork on it. In fact, she certified it by mail herself, actually was painted while she was pregnant back in 88.
 

I was hoping I could get some help understanding my guitar. Here is what I know. I bought it in 1993,it's a Ibanez RG560.The serial number is F749094,which indicates it was built in Japan in 1987.However it has body art by Pamelina which consists of a lightning bolt pattern, the artwork is dated 1989.It has no pick guard, a Ibanez Edge bridge, a Bill Lawrence twin blade humbucker and 2 factory single coils as far as I can tell. I've had one person tell me it was built in 1989,yet the serial number disputes that. Did they even make RG560 guitars in 1987 or do I have the wrong neck? Or could have someone have paid Pamelina 2 yrs later to paint it after they bought it? I'm also curious on what the price of this thing would be when it was brand new.

In addition

I e-mailed Pamelina almost a year ago and she didn't say anything about it, just that if it was dated 1989 it was among the 1st she did for Ibanez and that the e-mail seemed like a blast from the past. Here is a picture, it might not be that good but you can make out the lightning design. I'll see if I have something better.

 

The camo says it's a u.s.a. custom with a serial number that starts with F9 plus five more digits so I assume that it's a 1989 model.  For a U.S.A. Custom, I'm surprised to see it's finish isn't listed with the other U.S.A. Custom guitars I see listed. Also has a bensalem neck plate.
