It was a limited production special color thing that RIC did in the late 80's: S bodies, black hardware and plastic, maple fretboard finished the same color as the body. Microdot position markers on the fretboard. There were three similar but differently colored models...The "Blackstar" was Jetglo, the "Redneck" was Red, and the "Tuxedo" was White.

Lotsa people like 'em. Sweet necks, sweet tone, comfy bodies.
