Found this spiffy site that lets you punch in the serial number on your IBANEZ guitar and it will tell you when, and where it was made and something about the facility it was built in. I just found out my RG560 was built in 1991 in Fujijen.
Here is my search result. Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant, Japan 1991 Production Number: 24754 HERE IS THE LINK http://www.guitardaterproject.org/ibanez.aspx This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: May 28 2013, 07:37 AM |

Cool resource. Thanks man!
(Pasted from the site) Your guitar was made at the Terada Plant, Japan 1979 Production Number: 6286 The Terada Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. The Terada Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. was established in 1912, at the beginning Terada was making Violins for Toy purposes, after World War II, around 1955 Terada started to make in earnest ‘Strings Instruments’. In the 1970’s they had three plants near Nagoya area and produced more than 10,000 guitars per month for Domestic market and also for Overseas market, but now 1/8 that amount today. The Terada factory is now building hollow and semi-hollow body guitars for Epiphone as well as their own 'Thumb' brand guitars. At one point made Tobias bases prior to Tobias being sold to Gibson.  -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I bought it new in late 1979.
It has a lot of nicks in the top and sides and headstock but they're not that visible due to the sunburst finish. QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ May 28 2013, 07:24 PM) Nice one!! That axe is in darn good shape, especially considering it made it half way around the world many many decades ago. I"d say that's a keeper!!!! -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
