Help IDing an Ibanez
So I went to my local guitar shop for a little bit today and they had a few Ibbys. One was an RT650 and one was an older Strat shaped Ibby. I only got one picture on my phone so the quality isn't the greatest.

You can actually see the RT650 in the background too.
Anyways, this had what I believe to be a kill switch, LFR, the headstock just said Ibanez on it, it was a dark purple into black with little flakes of sparkles or something in it, and the serial number was F717441.

Looks like a Kramer Focus 3000.

I looked it up and the Focus 3000 had three knobs and another switch I think.

Looks like an RG440DW. If it's in good shape and is a decent price go for it! 1987 was the transition year when Vai signed up and Ibanez started to get really good.

looks like an awesome guitar, but not quite as awesome as that rt series. How much were they charging for that one?

Wow... i don't remember there being a transition Roadstar series that was SO Strat-like... they always had quirky little bumps on the inside tips of the cutaway horns, and oddly-shaped pickguards. That guitar is nice!

Why do you need to scrounge $50, don't you have a job?

I'd get that Ibanez. It has an original Edge trem, so it rules
I nearly got one of those off Ebay myself a while ago, but I got outbid in the end.
