From the Catalogue:
“At the top of the Roadster line, the RS-300 embodies everything a guitar of this type should be. The solid ash body gives the instrument solidity and honest weight. The one-piece maple neck is rigidly mounted with the exclusive Quadra-lock System. Super-Tap 6 pickups are controlled by a mini-toggle switch for either hot or mild output.
ACCU-CAST BRIDGE TAILPIECE
The weak point of many guitars of this type has been flimsy stamped bridge parts. The Roadster features a new Ibanez design, the precision Accu-cast bridge. The bridge tailpiece combination features a united sustain block and through-the-body string loading. Each bridge insert is individually adjustable for both height and intonation length.
QUADRA-LOCK FOUR-BOLT NECK MOUNT
A traditionally weak point of many instruments of this construction is the neck body joint. Some companies use only three screws to make this important connection, but Ibanez uses four machine bolts mated to threaded inserts embedded in the neck.
SUPER 6 AND SUPER-TAP 6 PICKUPS
Single coil pickups have often been criticized as being thin and weak sounding. The RS-100 features Super 6 pickups, the hottest single coils of their type ever to scream a hot lick. Wound with twice the windings of conventional single coils, and with a new magnet structure, the Super 6 delivers its’ awesome output with clarity, fullness and excellent top end. The Super-Tap 6 is featured on the RS-300.
This versatile pickup can be cut back in output to slightly more than conventional types with the Super-tap switch. Both Super 6 and Super-Tap 6 pickups are shielded with non-inductive copper tape shielding.
…AND NOW, THE FINE POINTS
The Roadster Series also features many details that combine to make it the most advanced high-performance guitar of its’ type available anywhere. The slim maple neck is satin finished for smooth and effortless playing and is fitted with Ibanez Velve-Touch frets to make the action even more buttery. A solid brass nut is hand-fitted to the fingerboard to improve sustain and brilliance. The list goes on, so check out a Roadster for the ride of your life.
