Up for sale, a 2022 Ibanez J Custom Limited Edition RG8570ZSM-BGT in like-new, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original molded hardshell case, CoA, hangtags, and case candy. The J. Custom line represents Ibanez's highest tiered offerings, made of carefully selected materials and assembled by skilled Japanese craftspeople at the Fujigen factory.
This exceedingly rare Limited Edition Ibanez model features a spalted maple top and matching peghead veneer finished in a gloss Bluish Green Burst, outfitted with an HSH trio of DiMarzio pickups and an Edge Zero tremolo with ZPS3 stabilizer. Beyond the spalted maple top, tonewoods include an African mahogany body, five-piece maple/wenge neck, and 24-fret Macassar ebony fretboard. 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, with single coil shimmer and snap, blending well with the humbuckers at the “in-between” positions on the five-way pickup selector switch. This J. Custom RG8570ZSM-BGT benefits from a professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
