The 430SⅡ is an S series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1990. It was originally part of the Roadstar Pro series. The model name was also presented as 430S II or 430S-II. In the US market, this model was referred to as simply the 430S. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen.
The S series is distinguished by the sleek double cutaway body shape which is arched on the top and back resulting in a fairly light guitar with thin edges.
The 430SⅡ features a mahogany body bolted to a maple Wizard neck with an angled headstock and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. It has three Ibanez single-coil pickups. Components include an HQ-J synchronized tremolo bridge and Gotoh locking tuning machines. It has a traditional bolt-on neck joint with a stamped metal plate.
In 1990 the 430SⅡ had Ibanez S1 pickups. These were swapped for S4/S3/S2 pickups for 1991.
