hi guys,

I own an ibanez rg shape guitar. It has a snakeskin finish (snakeskin pattern printed on material underneath the laquer....), an edge tremolo, and is made in japan. I believe it was made in 1989 and it is not a silversnake model. The pattern on it is sort of a light brown colour. This is all i know about the guitar. Does anyone know what model it is?

Hi, what you have there is an Ibanez
USA Custom Metal Design UCMD1GS*
Grey Snake..
While its called a grey snake, its more of the color you are describing and looks similar to the silver snake design...

hope it helps

Yeah, it's a pretty sweet guitar
Unfortunately there's a bit of fret ware from the 12th to the 15th fret. It seems as though the previous owner had played the e minor pentatonic to death lol
