"DARK IRIS"

Conceptualized to be an immaculate representation of the j. Custom series, this RG combines gorgeous elements with detailed handwork to achieve the ideal vision of this highly desirable series. The appeal of this guitar is the richness and complexity of its design. The guitar is adorned with a luxurious transparent dark blue finish, complemented beautifully by the gold hardware and cream-colored DiMarzio pickups. The outstanding figuring on the Quilted Maple top, combined with the waves and reflections of the Tree of Life inlay, invokes the impression of hypnotic kinetic motion. Finally, this artisan-crafted j. Custom RG reveals one more enticing characteristic: neck-thru construction, which affords enhanced playability, added comfort, and a dynamic aesthetic not usually seen on production-level j. Customs.

SPEEDING RIGHT ON THRU

A unique feature for a j. Custom-style instrument, the neck-thru design on this guitar affords the player next-level comfort and totally unrestricted access to the entire range of the fretboard, as well as truly impressive sustain. The neck-thru design paired with the 5-piece neck and center block also creates impressive visuals on the back of the instrument.

PLANT THE SEEDS OF CREATIVITY

The heart and soul of any j. Custom, the Tree of Life inlay vividly sprouts from the shadows of the Ebony fingerboard, delivering an animated, bright accent running the length of the fingerboard from top to bottom. Even on this high-end custom instrument, the Tree of Life still delivers that impactful, signature Ibanez look.

TOP FLIGHT TOP WOOD

The top of this guitar was carefully selected from a supply of superior quality Quilted Maple to provide depth, motion, and complexity to the guitar’s appearance. The end result was all that our team in Japan hoped for and then some. It’s a truly exquisite instrument with a brilliant top wood for its centerpiece.
