I never thought I would say this (I do mean never!), but if you look at the market, the J-Customs are actually good deals right now.
If you can find one!
You can get them used for less than the price of a new prestige on Reverb. If you like the specs, they're still a lot less expensive than a lot of other companies top of the line models. That said expensive guitars are never the best value, period. This has only been further reinforced by the fact that cheap import guitars have gotten so much better. You're primarily paying for the craftsmanship but you're also getting better pickups, hardware, electronics, woods, and resale value. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth the price tag.
