Yes, it's purple, very purple, but I've been unable to pin the exact official color of this one. Not purple neon, maybe metallic purple? Any help mucho appreciated!
I've had the necks off all 5 of my local Rg570's to sand down without paying attention to which guitar they came off since they're all the same and I don't plan to ever sell. However I believe it's a 96' or close to that year. It's definately not purple neon and came with a black headstock. I've only seen one other of this color on eBay and no where else, not even on Jemsite. I'm also I on the look out for a Juniper Green and an Iron Pewter.
I've nailed it down on Ibanez wiki, definately Purple Pearl. Have only seen one other. Purple Neon is my fav, but I only have a hard on for the AANJ and am not pleased with the one square heel model I have in Jewel Blue.
