The RS135 is a  solid body electric guitar model
introduced by  in 1983

The RS135 features a birch top on a basswood body bolted to a
maple neck with a 22-fret maple fingerboard with black dot position markers.
Components include three Ibanez Super 5  mounted in a white pickguard with the
bridge pickup askew, a pickup phase mini-toggle switch, a Powerocker
synchronized tremolo bridge, a graphite nut, Sure Grip II control knobs and
Smooth Tuner II machine heads. The headstock is finished to match the body.

A special version of the RS135 dubbed the Comet Series was
launched in mid-1984. These featured four bright, new finishes with matching
pickup covers and headstocks as well as special versions of the black and white
guitars with unpainted, natural headstocks. The Comet Series versions were
offered only in 1984.

Several changes were introduced for 1985, including eliminating
the birch top, replacing the white pickguard with a black one with a different
shape and replacing the Sure Grip II knobs with Tek Grip knobs.
