1996 Ibanez J Custom RG1702 Silky Black, AAAA Flame Maple, Japan Fujigen

$2,699.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1996 Ibanez J. Custom RG1702 in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This Ibanez was crafted at the Fujigen factory as part of the upscale J. Custom line, featuring a AAAA flame maple top accented by a gloss Silky Black finish, DiMarzio humbuckers, and Lo-Pro Edge tremolo.

Tonewoods include a mahogany body, AAAA flame maple top, three-piece maple neck, and slab 24-fret rosewood fretboard, and this RG1702 weighs 8lbs 3oz. The humbucker in the bridge position is a DiMarzio Tone Zone, a powerful high-output pickup that offers great low end and lower-midrange response to ensure the tone stays full and fat. The neck humbucker is a DiMarzio Air Norton, a warm, open-sounding pickup designed with a unique magnetic structure to reduce string pull and increase sustain while maintaining dynamic feel and responsiveness to user inputs. Additionally, the five-way pickup selector switch coil taps the humbuckers at the "in-between" positions. This RG1702 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Silky Black finish highlights the wall-to-wall figuring in the bookmatched flame maple top, and cosmetic wear is limited to light pick scuffing on top and just a few faint finish scratches in the clear coat. The satin finish on the neck profile is flawless.
