This is an Ibanez baritone seven-string model that was only produced in 2007 and 2008 and only sold in Japan. I bought it in 2008 in Tokyo (at the Ikebukuro Ishibashi Gakki) new for around $850 - 900. It's an excellent guitar that I've gigged with and recorded with a lot, but I'm moving and I've...
So, while I used to play guitar about 15-20 hours a week, I now only play 1-2 hours a week and it seems like my J Custom is a bit wasted on me, so I've been thinking of selling it.
Here are the details:
Guitar: Ibanez J Custom RG8527Z
Bought: May 2010 (at Ishibashi Gakki's Ikebukuro branch)...
:lol: Finally was able to log into this site. Don't know if it was a problem on my end or on the server end, but I couldn't connect to this server for over a month.
Some of the ideas I had considered that I didn't include because I was getting lazy were: progressive metal, groove metal, nu...

It's quite a charming tuning and only sophisticated gentlemen use it.
Amen. :agreed:
I like Periphery a lot and I think Animals as Leaders is a pretty cool band, but I can't understand the obsession with them that a lot of people have. Or with any band or guitarist for that matter. :agreed:
:lol: I originally was going to do it at 270bpm and only have it be 15 seconds long, but I kept coming up with crazy goregrind/grindcore stereotypical lyrics. :lol:
:lol: That's why power metal had to be right after grindcore. To make it even MORE unexpected. :lol:
The power metal part is way overkill. Like 9 or 10 separate tracks in that section. There's a violin too, but it's hard to hear. :lol:

This idea got started at our gig last week where the promoter was playing a mix CD of deathcore and metalcore songs by tons of different bands that all pretty much followed the same formula (melodeath-esque riffs in the verses with hardcore style vocals, then a slow breakdown with low growls...

Whoops. Actually it wasn't JUST Nobuo Uematsu (the composer for most of the Final Fantasy games), but it was also Kenichiro Fukui (the composer for Front Mission 5, Lord of Arcana, and a bunch of other games) and Tsuyoshi Sekito (the...
The only way you will ever get better at guitar is by officially becoming Finnish.
I just got my Finnish passport last week. And, since then I've been playing guitar about 30 minutes to an hour every day, except on band practice days where it's more like 3-5 hours in that day. If I've got...
^Yeah, I've heard them. It's run by the guy who actually wrote most of the FF music in the first place (Nobuo Uematsu). I believe he plays keyboards in The Black Mages.
Yeah, I totally loved Final Fantasy VI (on the SNES) when I was a kid and it had some of the best music in video games (even to this day). One of my favorite themes was Atma Weapon (aka Ultima Weapon). Around 2000 and 2001 I learned a ton of songs from FF6 and FF7 on guitar after replaying...
Gorgeous guitar. :yesway: Looks like you got a great deal on it. Shame that the logo is scuffed, but I'm sure that knocked quite a bit off the price.
It was cool meeting you at the gig. Wish it had been a different gig, but I guess that crazy gig reinforced any preconceived notions about...
