NGD: Ibanez J Custom Content: JCRG8740A-VV

Nightswan

Arrived last week. 2006 model JCRG8470A-VV. Basically a JCRG8470F but with a more figured top. The 8470A models only came in Vintage Violin and were obvs made in more limited numbers. These are quite hard to come across. Standard J Custom specs from this era, Mahognany Body, FM top, Super Wizard neck, Edge Pro, TZ/BV/AN Di Marzios. This had a Sustainer pickup in the neck, hence the extra knobs and switches, removed by previous owner and now with the original Air Norton back in. I'm gonna grab a Sustainer and get it fitted....the buggers aren't cheap though. Thanks for checking it out.....few pics below:

Cheers Jason. Yeah Vintage Violin is one of the coolest Ibanez finishes...it does deviate it a bit though. I have others that look like a more Cherry Burst.

Sorry...meant to fire these up. Vintage Violin deviants on some of my Ibanez plus Fire Agate...

This J Custom is Fire Agate:



Yet this Prestige is Vintage Violin! Go Figure.

Awesome

You need to get that sustainer back in there. 

I’m building a Jem style partscaster and have a plan a sustainer in that. Was going to be the Jem I had listed, but the ebony ones are getting a bit rare now, and it’s a killer guitar as-is

That Fire Agate 7-string is just gorgeous! I'll never be able to afford guitars like those but I'm totally in awe of your collection

Very nice! love the character in that top and the finish.
The violin burst thing, you'd think (or I would) it might mean semi-gloss if nothing else, but they do a gloss 'violin' too...

That's possibly the nicest looking RG I've ever seen, stunning.

@Dave_Mc ;  @Svartmetall ;  @Corvus ;  @StefB ;  Thanks guys!!

@SquireJapan: ; Yeah I've already been looking for the kit but not too keen on dropping approx £300 for a new one. Will sit tight and see what comes up on the used market.  The Jem partscaster sounds interesting.
