Yep. I never heard of them either, was just in getting some strings. 
I saw the reverse headstock peeking out and said "Whatever that is, it's coming home with me".
The fuckers on eBay are upselling the hell out of them. :\

Yeah, I know. Hopefully, Ibanez will introduce more varieties of the RGT series. Kinda similar, right?Chris said:Yep. I never heard of them either, was just in getting some strings.

Fuckin' jackals.
I'd call around to your GC's and see if they'll get one in for you before bidding on one. For $450, it's worth it, anything more than that is just the dude making pure profit off of you. The thing is really nice though, and even though it's not a top-end bridge I have no problems staying in tune - and I beat the FUCK out of it too.
I'm hoping Serratus will let me snag this:

They sell for $450 new. $560 is high, but it's a limited run, reverse headstock RG, not just any old run of the mill. I'm not saying it's crazy rare, but it's not just another RG either.

I suppose if the good Korean-made stuff is now up in the $700-800 range, they need something in the more entry-level-to-midrange part of the market. I just didn't realize they were getting that much for the Indonesian-built models, regardless of features.

Congrats on your new guitar - it looks very cool indeed!!! I don't get why GC won't sell these things on their web site. I mean, what is the point of having an online store if you don't sell your in-stock instruments there?
When I went to New York on my last visit, I picked up an RG2 EX2 at Guitar Center. A very nice playing and IMHO cool looking guit-fiddle (had only it had a reversed headstock it would have been perfect). However, the crappy stock EMG Designed PUs lasted a grand total of five minutes in this thing and it now sports a Breed in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck.
I know it's a $300 fruit of Indonesian child labour, but it truly sounds great and is a nice playing instrument... It'll be a VERY nice playing instrument once i get around to doing a fret job on it.
As you can see it's basically a pimped up RG321 - but the cheesy white colour, matching headstock and black neck and body binding truly makes me want to shake my wild '80's-permed mane and
