Ibanez / j.custom Axe Design Lab RG8870-BRE (Black Rutile) [03]

A new RG j.custom model packed with meticulously crafted specs, designed for technical players!!

- “RG j.custom Super Wizard AS” Asymmetrical Neck Shape, 5-Piece Maple/Wenge Neck

This neck is crafted from a 5-piece combination of maple and wenge, designed to prioritize a natural sound while ensuring sufficient strength.
This asymmetrical neck shape is based on the ultra-thin SuperWizard profile, designed for ease of playability and slimness.
While maintaining the neck thickness at 17mm at the nut and 19mm at the 12th fret, the neck is rounded toward the bass strings (6th string side). This provides a more secure fulcrum for the thumb and enhances playability for technical techniques such as wide stretches and sweep picking, which require a wide left-hand span.
The neck back features a “Velvetouch” finish that feels as comfortable in your hand as a guitar that’s been played for years.

- Makassar ebony fingerboard
This special fingerboard is crafted from Makassar ebony—a wood known for its hardness and excellent responsiveness, as well as its distinctive vertical grain—and features the “Tree of Life” position inlays, one of the hallmarks of j.custom design.

- Flamed Maple (4mm) Top & Alder Body
Alder, known for its balanced, bright tone and rich sustain, is laminated with AAA-grade flamed maple featuring beautiful grain patterns.

- Deep and beveled lower horn scoop on the body back
The body back is deeply scooped on the treble side (1st string side) to enhance playability in the higher positions.

- Chambered Body
“I want to make it as light as possible without compromising the wood’s acoustic properties…” To meet the requests of players who think this way, even if only slightly, we’ve drilled several holes about 3 cm in diameter into the front of the body.
It’s a subtle touch, but it certainly contributes to weight reduction.

- DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary / True Velvet / The Tone Zone Pickups
In pursuit of a natural tone, we’ve equipped the neck position with the PAF 36th Anniversary—known for its low output and warm, sweet tone—the middle position with the True Velvet, characterized by a bright, noise-free sound, and the bridge position with the covered The Tone Zone, which delivers a powerful, well-balanced sound across the entire frequency range.
