"CALYPSO"

Conceptualized to be an immaculate representation of the j. Custom series, this RG combines gorgeous elements with detailed handwork in order to achieve the ideal vision of this highly desirable series. This particular guitar is an immediate show stopper. An electrifying and rich Transparent Pink finish coats an exquisitely figured Quilted Maple top, with the upscale appearance further accented by gold hardware and natural Maple binding. This binding extends around the entirety of the neck, offering a bright complement to the dark and shadowy Ebony fingerboard, which features a beautifully crafted Tree of Life inlay. The Calypso’s bright pink finish also highlights a similarly shaded Calypso orchid. 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.

TOP FLIGHT TOP WOOD

The top for 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.

PLANT THE SEEDS OF CREATIVITY

The heart and soul of any j. Custom design, 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.

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.
