2009 Ibanez J. Craft Prestige RG4570Z Himalayan Black Near-Mint w/ Case

$1,999.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 2009 Ibanez J. Craft Prestige Model RG4570Z in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working condition, complete with the original molded hardshell case. Crafted at the Fujigen factory with exquisite attention to detail, this upscale RG model was only produced for a few short years, boasting premium features including an Edge Zero tremolo with ZPS3 stabilizer, DiMarzio HSH pickup trio, Ultra HP neck profile, and a bookmatched flame maple top highlighted by a gloss Himalayan Black finish and bisected by an abalone strip.

Tonewoods include a mahogany body (+ two-piece bookmatched flame maple top), five-piece maple/walnut neck, and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. The humbucker in the bridge position is a DiMarzio Tone Zone, a bold and 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. The central single coil is a DiMarzio True Velvet, a pickup designed for optimal fullness and string-to-string balance, blending well with the coil-split humbuckers at the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch. This RG4570Z weighs 8lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike and Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, accurate intonation and fast action.

The gloss Himalayan Black finish highlights the very tight and dimensional flame figuring in the bookmatched maple top, bisected by the abalone strip, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few small dings on the body perimeter and mild pick scuffing on top. The satin finish on the neck profile is flawless.

The original molded hardshell case is included.
