★ The long-awaited arrival of the RG8570-RS from Japan's top-tier j.custom series!
The fingerboard material has been upgraded to rosewood.

~j.custom~
The j.custom concept is very simple.
"Guitars crafted from meticulously selected materials by Japan's most skilled artisans, constantly pursuing high playability and exceptional sound."
This concept has remained unchanged since its inception.
Upholding this concept, j.custom represents Ibanez's pinnacle electric guitars, crafted in domestic workshops to meet the diverse styles, preferences, and demands of guitarists at the highest level.

~Features~
RG j.custom Super Wizard 5pc Maple/Wenge Neck
This neck combines maple and wenge wood in a 5-piece construction, prioritizing strength while aiming for a natural sound.
It features the ultra-thin Super Wizard shape, designed for ultimate playability and thinness, perfect for players who prefer an exceptionally light feel.
The neck back features a "Velvetouch" finish that feels perfectly comfortable in your hands, like a guitar played for years.

Rosewood Fingerboard
This special fingerboard features rosewood, known for its resilient, mild midrange sound, and showcases the "Tree of Life" position inlay, one of the hallmarks of j.custom design.

j.custom fret edge treatment
This custom treatment involves shaping the fret edges into a spherical curve.
Not only does shaping the edges into spheres require skill, but achieving uniformity in shape is also technically demanding. This process, possible only by skilled craftsmen, is meticulously performed by hand on each individual guitar.
The smooth feel, free from any stress, will surely be felt when making significant position changes with the left hand.

Flame Maple (4mm) Top & African Mahogany Body
The African mahogany body, known for its rich mid-to-low frequency characteristics, is topped with AAA-grade flame maple featuring beautiful grain patterns.

DiMarzio Pickups
The neck position features the Air Norton pickup, known for its clear and warm sound. The middle position features the True Velvet pickup, known for its bright and noise-free sound. The bridge position features The ToneZone pickup, known for its powerful sound with balanced output across the entire frequency range from treble to bass.

Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo Bridge
Features the original Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, the ultimate in low-profile design.
By positioning the unit as low as possible and placing the fine tuners rearward, it minimizes the chance of accidental contact during playing that could cause tuning instability.

Gotoh Machine Heads
GOTOH machine heads are valued by guitarists worldwide for their smooth operation, reliability, and durability.

Tilted Jack Cavity
The woodwork for the jack where the shielded cable plug is inserted is machined by carving inward from the strap pin direction toward the body interior, differing from the typical side jack specification found on guitars.
This design allows the cable to be routed through the strap, preventing accidental disconnection.

GOTOH Strap Lock
Equipped with GOTOH's one-touch strap lock for easy attachment and removal.

Easy Access Control Knobs
The control knobs are recessed into the body top to minimize interference with the hand during arm-ing, while maintaining the absolute minimum height required for ease of operation.

Switchcraft Jack
Features a Switchcraft pipe jack, renowned for its robust construction and reliability.
