Full Description

Mahogany Body & Flamed Maple Top

The J-Custom Ibanez features an eye-catching African mahogany body topped with stunning flamed maple, creating a truly eye-catching aesthetic which is only enhanced by its black rutile finish. Along with its elegant contours, the guitar’s lightweight design ensures players can wielded it all night long without strain. As well as appearance, the Ibanez also features a twin horn body shape which allows easier access to the higher frets for incredible flexibility across the whole fingerboard.

The Super Wizard Maple/Wenge Neck

The Ibanez’s neck is crafted from maple and wenge, creating an incredibly bright tone with an excellent sustain and a smooth projection. Plying multiple woods together helps strengthen the neck more than single wood necks, offering more stability and prevent warping and bending from extensive performances. Although the two woods are naturally smooth, the RG8570Z features Ibanez’s j.custom super wizard profile, which is designed for shredders and lead guitarists as its thin nature helps players perform swift and nimble runs with ease.

Bound Selected Rosewood Fingerboard

The Ibanez is equipped with a bound rosewood fingerboard, which has been designed with a smooth, natural finish for a comfortable playing experience. The select rosewood tonewood provides the guitar with a very responsive bright, snappy attack, along with a smooth sustain and an open midrange. It’s bound edges allow for a smooth play and fluid hand flexibility across the whole neck.

Powerful DiMarzio Trio

The Ibanez guitar’s monstrous tone is achieved through the three powerful DiMarzio pickups, featuring an Air Norton humbucker, a The Tone Zone humbucker, and a True Velvet single-coil for the ultimate versatility. Use the Air Norton to create deep, warm tones with superb harmonics, or switching for The Tone Zone to produce a wide dynamic range with a powerful projection. Using the middle True Velvet single-coil provides a more balanced tone than the other two, perfect for times when extra clarity is needed. Use the volume, tone, and 5-way pickup selector to dial in the perfect sound for any situation.

Edge Zero Tremolo

The Ibanez Edge Zero is a high performance double locking tremolo first introduced in 2010, featuring similarities with both the Lo-Pro Edge tremolo and the original Floyd Rose Tremolo. This design created a unique and extremely versatile floating tremolo system which provides an added range of playing capabilities and improved tuning stability.

Gotoh Tuners & Locking Nut

The RG8570Z J-Custom is equipped with a set of Gotoh tuners and a locking nut to ensure the guitar stays in tune through the harshest performances. Its Gotoh tuners are designed with incredible tuning stability, offering quick and easy tuning for a stable performance. The locking nut is designed to work with the Edge-Zero tremolo bridge, ensuring the guitar retains its original tuning even after performing harsh dive bombs.
