Exploring the J Custom Edge!

Ibanez’s J Custom moniker is much more than a name: it represents the finest of everything that Ibanez has to offer! Starting with an elite group of luthiers producing guitars in small quantities, each J Custom guitar is made with the best woods, hardware, and pickups, with special attention to the fretwork. The result is a limited run of guitars with unparalleled sound, maximum playability, and looks that are sure to blow you away!

The new JCRGA250 starts off with a black limba body, with a buckeye burl top and a 4mm thick layer of blue and red resin, perfect for showing off your patriotism! The Super Wizard 3pc wenge/purpleheart neck and ebony fingerboard with J Custom fret edge treatment ensures that this guitar feels ultra smooth, making each solo feel like a hot knife cutting through butter!

Joining a star-studded lineup of new Ibanez guitars, these two newcomers are also a great way to celebrate 250 years of the United States! Call, click, or come in today to pre-order yours!
