Dude, I had one of those Ibanez Roadstars too. 'Cept mine was bright yellow, set up like a strat. Wht pg 3 singles and a cheezy trem, no floyd..It was a good guitar, but as I look back it was rather hideous....

I have seen one of those Roadstars. I don`t like the color on mine, and it is well beaten up so now I have sanded it down to bare wood. I`m going to round the edges on the front and make a forearm contour before I paint it in some kind of white :icon_smile:

You talking about the little hooks on the ends of the horn bout's, I'd leave those. Kinda cool feature to me, reminds me of the Schecter 006. May get a newer Ibanez neck and get rid of that awful looking headstock...  :icon_jokercolor:

No the hooks stays, but the edge with binding is being sanded so it get`s a little smoother :icon_smile:
A new neck would bee great but if I can`t get one I sand it down and refinish it.

sounds cool, I always have liked that body shape. There's plenty of the square heel newer headstock necks on ebay, this ones pretty cheap too...

Sweet, but here's a little tip for ya. When it comes to ebay I find it best to just watch an item, and if I really want it I'll wait til the last possible moments to place a bid. Otherwise the biding gets out of hand. Let them think they'll win it, then swoop in for the kill...It's called "snipping"....

I have even been overbid after bidding in the last 10 seconds!  :sad1: apparently you can get software that bids for you literally in the last second of an auction.

Finally, a chance to post my crap.
Epi SG310
Hondo H-35 acoustic

Marshall MG30DFX
JB model PUP
Dougs' neck plate.

Mid 50's Sherwood archtop with a quilted maple back/sides
'94 Taylor 614 C with LR Baggs Dual source
( 2 piece perfect book matched flamed maple - the new ones are 3 piece)
Old chromed bell brass Dobro - my most prized guitar
 
The electrics from left to right -all bought new :
'88 Fender Jazz fretless with Gotoh bridge and Dimarzio Stacks

Chambered Purple heart top Zebrano center Lacewood back
Benedetto PAF neck/ GIbson P-94 mid /Harmonic Designs Z 90 bridge - 5 way switch  Vol/tone

'59 C profile  AAAA birdseye maple neck
Gold Kluson tuners/brass nut / Gold string through Fender bridge with compensating saddles

Not shown '72 Gibson SG is in the shop , and the new Warmoth G4 Koa/Mahagony with  Padouk /ebony neck and Bart M34CBC and Bart pre amp I'm building
 
I think bidding at the last second is called "sniping" (like what you do with a rifle), not "snipping" (which is what you do with scissors).  There are even services that will do it for you... they can get your bid in in the last 3 seconds  :o
