A real RIC or an odd Fireglo...?

Sometimes digital cameras don't capture bursts very well. Everything here looks legit (at least to my eyes).

Fireglos come in all kinds of shades and of course this is the most difficult color to capture correctly by a camera. Everything looks OK.

I have to agree with the consensus - it looks ok, even if the coloration is odd. Maybe it just aged differently for some reason, or perhaps it is as suggested a camera artifact.
I know my FG Laredo photographs with a stronger pinkish tint than it really has...

Not an Ibanez? The walnut strip looks a tad wide, and the yellowing like theirs.

I'm no expert, but I also thought Ibanez when I saw the color.

Do the Ibanez copies have neck through body design?

I'm almost positive. I'm still a noob when it comes to identifying!

Yes, at least some do. I will wait for some of the real experts to decide, though.

Even allowing for the way the photo captured the colour, the way that it's sprayed is unlike any 80's Ric I've seen, the colour appears to be too concentrated and the blending too coarse.
I'd say either a poor refinish, or a fake.
