Ibanez J-Custom 8 string

[patata]

For the price,I'd pass that and get an M8M.
I don't use a neck pup,hate the vine inlay and and tbh it's a bit too fancy for my tastes.
This doesn't mean that this thing aint wonderful and classy.

Isn't the M8M almost double the price?

M8M is $5999 on guitar centers website, musicians friend, etc... i think msrp is $8000.

You would seriously pay another $1500 for an M8M?

Nope, that's the MAP.

Sometimes I think about the guitars I would have if I won the lottery. This is one of them.

Well are the J Customs neck through and 29" scale? I can't find the specs on the J Customs.

i would be willing to bet not.

I can almost guarantee they're bolt-on, 27" scale. But even still, I don't think the M8M is worth those two features for that much more. Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

If that's not a new guitar for ibanez then wtf is?

A non-superstrat.

Oh-kay. Thanks!

I understand the specs on these guitars... Though RG2228A was released, I would actually love to see this one with passive pickups. The prob. as always, would be the big ass routing the EMGs leave behind.
Maybe the deal with EMG is to valuable, but never the less.. Blackouts made for the passive routing would have been better.

Rg2228-Basswood
JCRG8-Mahogany w/Maple top
Most likely a different neck shape.
Higher quility woods and build.
Yep totally the same guitar with a different finish.

Ok so a correction via Ibanezrules.

The body will be ash with a AAA maple top.

To repeat 90 percent of all the comments on this thread so far:
God damn those look incredible. I personally love the tree of life inlay. EMG's suck.
For that price they should have at LEAST put 808x's in there. But I suppose you can always just 18v mod the standard 808's and get a similar result...
Anywho, load that thing up with some dimarzios or bkps or some of those new seymour duncan distortion 8's and I'll be selling my house to get ahold of one... That or i'll just go get a tosin signature. good god that tosin sig...
