◆RG j.custom Super Wizard AS (Asymmetric) Neck Shape: This neck is constructed from 5 pieces of maple and wenge wood, with careful consideration given to strength while aiming for a natural sound.
This guitar features an asymmetrical neck shape based on the ultra-thin Super Wizard shape, designed for ease of playing and minimalist design.
While maintaining the same neck thickness of 17mm at the nut and 19mm at the 12th fret, the neck has been given a more rounded shape towards the bass string side (6th string side), providing a more secure pivot point for the thumb and improving playability for technical techniques such as wide stretches and sweep picking.
The neck back features a Velvetouch finish that feels incredibly comfortable in your hand, just like a guitar that's been played for years.

◆Rosewood fingerboard: Features a rosewood fingerboard that is characterized by its midrange characteristics and warm tone.

◆Tree of Life inlay
This inlay design is inspired by the "Tree of Life" planted in the center of the Garden of Eden, as described in the Old Testament.
This is one of the points where you can appreciate the exquisite beauty that is unique to Made in Japan products.

◆Luminlay side dot position
It features phosphorescent dot position markers to adapt to the rapidly changing performance environment, such as lighting conditions.

◆j.custom fret edge treatment
This is a custom treatment that rounds the edges to create a spherical shape.
Shaping them into a sphere, as well as ensuring consistent shapes, requires skill, and this process, which can only be performed by highly skilled craftsmen, is carried out meticulously by hand, one piece at a time.
You'll definitely notice the smooth, stress-free feeling when you make large changes to the position of your left hand.

◆ Ash wood (4mm) top & African mahogany wood body with custom paint finish
The body is made of African mahogany, which has rich mid-low frequency characteristics, and is laminated with ash wood (4mm) which is known for its clear tone.
The BQZ custom paint finish is achieved by layering multiple special painting techniques without obscuring the grain of the ash wood, resulting in a rich and unique look.
This layered wrap finish, inspired by black quartz, changes its appearance depending on the viewing angle.

◆Natural Body Binding
The edges of the body are deliberately left unpainted, allowing the natural wood color to be incorporated as part of the binding design. This design is only possible on guitars with thick tops, making it a mark of high quality.
One of the features of this design is that you can enjoy the wood grain.

◆DiMarzio Pickups: The front position features a PAF Pro, a favorite among various professional artists, known for its vintage humbucker-like nuances while emphasizing high frequencies for a crisp, articulate tone. The bridge position features The Tone Zone, which delivers a powerful sound with a well-balanced output from high to low frequencies.

◆Coil-tap switch: Functions with both the front and rear humbucker pickups, expanding the range of sounds.

◆Easy Access Control Knobs
To minimize interference with your hand when using the tremolo arm, the control knobs are recessed into the top of the body, at a height that is just low enough to be easily turned without being difficult to access.

◆Lo-Pro Edge tremolo bridge: Equipped with the Lo-Pro Edge, an original tremolo that has perfected the low-profile design.
By designing the unit to be as low as possible and positioning the fine tuner at the rear, the possibility of accidentally hitting it and throwing the tuning out of whack while playing is minimized.
This satin black color gives a refined and sophisticated impression.

◆Gotoh machine heads
GOTOH machine heads are highly regarded by guitarists worldwide for their smooth operation, reliability, and durability.
This satin black color gives a refined and sophisticated impression.

◆Tilted Jack Cavity
Unlike typical side-jack guitars, the woodworking around the jack where the shield cable plug is inserted is carved outwards from the strap pin direction towards the inside of the body. This is a design feature that allows the cable to be secured to the strap and prevents it from accidentally coming loose.

◆Switchcraft Jack
It uses Switchcraft pipe jacks, which are renowned for their robust construction and minimal tangles.

◆GOTOH Strap Lock
It is equipped with a GOTOH strap lock that can be attached and detached with a single touch.


【j.custom】
The concept of j.custom is very simple.
"Using carefully selected materials and assembled by some of Japan's most skilled craftsmen, these guitars consistently pursue high playability and superior sound." This philosophy has remained unchanged since its inception and continues to this day.
Based on this concept, the j.custom is Ibanez's top-of-the-line electric guitar, handcrafted in a domestic workshop to meet the diverse styles, preferences, and demands of guitarists at the highest level.
