First Catalog Appearance: 1985 Guitar Heavyweights - Phil Collen and the DT555
Comments: The DT-555 is commonly (and incorrectly) called the "Phil Collen Destroyer". While Phil is shown in Ibanez advertisements for both the DT-555 and the DT-155, to the best of my knowledge Ibanez has never actually called either of these guitars the "Phil Collen Model" or "Phil Collen Destroyer".
