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

~j.custom~
The concept behind j.custom is very simple.
“Guitars crafted from carefully selected materials by Japan’s most skilled artisans, constantly pursuing exceptional playability and superior sound.”
This has remained unchanged since its inception and continues to this day.
Guided by this concept, the j.custom—Ibanez’s premier electric guitar, crafted in domestic workshops—is designed to meet the diverse styles, preferences, and demands of today’s guitarists at the highest level.

~Features~
“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 playability and slimness.
While maintaining the neck thickness at 17 mm at the nut and 19 mm 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, excellent responsiveness, and distinctive vertical grain—and features the “Tree of Life” position inlay, one of the hallmarks of j.custom design.

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

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.
Although the reduction is minimal, this design certainly contributes to a lighter weight.

DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary / True Velvet / The Tone Zone Pickups
In pursuit of a natural tone, the neck position features the PAF 36th Anniversary, known for its low output and warm, sweet tone; the middle position features the True Velvet, known for its bright and noise-free sound; and the bridge position features the covered The Tone Zone, known for its powerful sound with well-balanced output across the high and low frequencies.
