A 1987 Ibanez Roadstar II. It was my first electric guitar. I was in acoustic guitar lessons for about a year and really wasn't digging it. My mom finally agreed to buy me an electric guitar after I told her I was very interested in playing electric. She took me to the music store around August of 1988. I went in looking for a Fender Strat, as I really didn't know what I wanted, but the Strat was a name I knew.
The sales guy had me try the Ibanez. It was last year's model and they were closing them out. It felt really good in my beginner hands, and they were letting it go for $175.
I played the snot out of that guitar. Years later, it had gone unplayed and lived in my closet. I had a friend who's son was looking to start guitar, so I gave it to him.
I really miss that guitar now. It was my first electric and has sentimental value. They go on Ebay now for around $300-400, but it's hard to find one that is exactly like mine. Most I see for sale have been "80s-ified". That is, they have aftermarket locking trem systems and hot pickups.
Though I have much better guitars now, I'd still love to have the Ibanez back. I've talked with the guy I gave it too, and his guitar interest didn't last. I even offered to pay him fair market value for the guitar, but he's since given it to a girl who's looking to start a music career.
