Ibanez produced the MR500C Road Tour as a hardshell electric guitar case designed to accommodate a broad range of bolt-on neck electric guitar body shapes, including left-handed models and extended-range instruments up to nine strings. It sat in the Ibanez case line as a travel-oriented option, and carried TSA-approved locks for checked-luggage security.
The shell is constructed from ABS material. The interior features a purpose-moulded design intended to fit guitars from the RG, RGA, RGD, RG7, RG8, RG9, S, SA, FR, RC, and TM families, as well as left-handed variants of those bodies. A dedicated Ibanez tool case is included inside. The case ships with TSA-approved latches and a long handle designed to allow repositioning of grip depending on the weight and balance of the loaded case. Interior overall length runs to 1060mm, with a lower body cavity of 450mm depth and an inner swell width of 330mm; the case weighs 5.89kg empty.
Owners confirming fit for a specific body shape, or sourcing replacement latches, hinges, or interior foam, should consult a qualified guitar technician or case repair specialist familiar with ABS hardshell construction.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
