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

~Features~
RG j.custom Super Wizard 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.
It features the ultra-thin Super Wizard shape, designed for ease of playability and thinness—ideal for players who prefer an extremely lightweight feel.
The neck back features a “Velvetouch” finish that molds comfortably to your hand, just like a guitar that’s been played for years.

Rosewood Fingerboard
This special rosewood fingerboard—characterized by its resilient, mellow midrange sound—showcases the “Tree of Life” position inlay, one of the hallmarks of j.custom design.

j.custom Fret Edge Treatment
This is a custom treatment in which the edges are rounded to a spherical shape.
Not only does shaping the edges into a spherical form require skill, but ensuring uniformity in shape does as well; this process, possible only for highly skilled craftsmen, is meticulously performed by hand, one guitar at a time.
You’re sure to appreciate the smooth, stress-free feel when shifting your left hand significantly across the fretboard.

Flame Maple (4mm) Top & African Mahogany Body
The body, crafted from African mahogany with rich mid-to-low-frequency characteristics, is laminated with AAA-grade flame maple featuring a beautiful grain pattern.

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

Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo Bridge
Equipped with the Lo-Pro Edge, an original tremolo system that takes low-profile design to the extreme.
By positioning the unit as low as possible and placing the fine tuners toward the rear, the design minimizes the risk of your hand accidentally bumping them and throwing the instrument out of tune while playing.

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

Tilted Jack Cavity
Unlike guitars with standard side-jack configurations, the woodwork around the jack where the shielded cable plug is inserted is carved inward toward the body from the direction of the strap pin.
This design prevents the cable from accidentally falling out by routing it through the strap.

GOTOH Strap Lock
Equipped with a GOTOH strap lock that can be attached and removed with a single touch.

Easy Access Control Knobs
The control knobs are recessed into the body top and positioned at the lowest possible height to minimize interference with the hand when using the whammy bar, while still being high enough to ensure they are easy to turn.

Switchcraft Jack
This model features a Switchcraft pipe jack, renowned for its robust construction and reliability.
