2019 Ibanez Spot Model J Custom R9441D24K1 30E Spalted Maple w/ Case, COA, Hangtags

Up for sale, a 2019 Ibanez J Custom R9441D24K1 30E Limited Edition "Spot Model" in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case, COA, and hangtags. This upper-tiered Ibanez was crafted at the Sugi factory as part of the premium J. Custom line, featuring top-notch tonewoods and componentry, with masterful fit and finish work and ornate marquetry befitting a guitar of this status.Tonewoods include a swamp ash body topped with a dynamic spalted maple cap and a wenge/purpleheart neck with a 24-fret white ebony fretboard. The Fusion Edge humbuckers are the result of a collaboration between Ibanez and DiMarzio; they’re built to shred, delivering a powerful scooped sound with tight, compressed bass response and crisp high-end articulation. They’re aggressive yet precise, perfect for down-tuned chugging and high-speed riffing, with distinct sounds at each position on the five-way pickup selector switch. This Ibanez weighs 7lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.The three-piece wenge/purpleheart/wenge neck sports the J. Custom Wizard profile, a slender, fast-feeling D-shaped carve with full shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .735” deep at the 1st fret and .820” at the 12th. The 24-fret white ebony fretboard sports an abalone/pearl tree of life inlay, and the jumbo fretwire is pristine. This guitar plays cleanly up the 25 1/2“ scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod, and the locking nut measures 1 11/16” (43mm) in width. The headstock sports a matching spalted maple veneer and a black pearl Ibanez logo, with gold Gotoh tuning machines turn smoothly and hold pitch as they should.All of the electronics function as intended, with the pair of Fusion Edge humbuckers wired to the stock harness and governed by the five-way pickup selector switch with Master Volume and Tone knobs. Pickup switching operates as follows:1. Bridge2. Inner coils of each humbucker (coil-tapped)3. Bridge + Neck4. Neck humbucker coils in parallel5. Neck humbucker coils in seriesThe gold-plated hardware shines like new, including the dome-topped knurled knobs and the Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, which actuates smoothly and snaps quickly back to pitch from even the deepest of dives.The low gloss (open pore) Natural finish has a smooth satin feel, allowing the player to feel the natural texture of the wood and highlighting the dynamic grain in the spalted maple top. There’s barely a scratch on the body, and the Natural Matte (satin) finish on the neck profile is similarly immaculate.The original hardshell case with form-fit gray plush interior is included, along with the COA and hangtags.
