6-String Destroyer Models

Model DT-380 (Red Sun graphic)

The year displayed next to some of the models gives an approximate date for the first production run for that model.

I said "approximate date" because some of the years displayed are the year of that model's first catalog appearance while other years are taken from actual serial numbers.

In general, production of the actual guitar model will begin in the year prior to that model's first catalog appearance.

Unfortunately, some of these models do not appear in any known, surviving Ibanez catalogs.
