This guitar is part of the S series, also known as Saber. It was the 2058th instrument made at Ibanez' Bensalem custom shop in 1989.

Wikia blurb about the F2 pickup:

Responsive, versatile humbucker with warm, classic tone and output; works well in neck or bridge positions but recommended for bridge. More output, enhanced midrange punch and rich harmonics compared to the IBZ F1.

The plate on the back reads as follows (apparently the address was the Ibanez U.S.A. Custom Shop until about 1992, when they moved to the Los Angeles area):

Product blurb:

Features maple back and sides, solid Engelmann spruce top, and rosewood fretboard. Full binding, white pearl rosette, and nickel die-cast tuners enhance the classy look while System 600T MK II electronics ensure plugged-in tone that's as rich as the instrument's natural sound.

Haven't actually bought these yet, but thinking about it. They're color-coded to match Rocksmith, which is cool, but judging by the user reviews on Guitar Center they're not very high-quality (the coating starts peeling off very quickly under use). Would get the medium set (NMCE-10) since one of the reviews says the lighter strings are very fragile and break easily.
