Ibanez J-Custom 8 string

[jephjacques]

That looks pretty awesome! I wonder what the scale length is.

The bridge/pickup layout looks the same as the 2228 so I'm guessing 27".

Nobody can say Ibanez doesn't have a lot of 8 string options this year lol. 99% of those options have EMGs but still.

And all of them are superstrats, and over half of them are black. Remind me how we have options again?

First time I've heard/read this...

I love that inlay with all my heart.

That's because those of us who thoroughly dislike that inlay (or JEMs. or Vai. or whatever) would usually rather not get hung, drawn, and quartered for committing SSO heresy. But fuck it. Someone opened the flood gates, so game on.

The vine inlay sucks donkey balls. Get rid of that, I might be interested, but that inlay is just as pathetic as Schecter crosses and Cooley pseudo-suns.

Welp time to get a loan

Well it's certainly one of the less bland 8's on the market but @ $4300... ouchies!!!

The fact that there are several of them, which there weren't previously.

I'm not a fan of the vine inlays either. If those were DiMarzio-loaded, I'd be tempted to finally get my hands on a J.Custom, but not with active routes. Still awesome that they would put out a J.Custom 8, for half the price of the M8M pretty much. Thumbs up!

That thing just looks amazing.

However, the sunburst one is on a whole different level!

Give me a Prestige with maple board and offset dots and we are in business.

Plus passives, a HSH config and some fancy colors

 

[Dickicker]

what kinda foreign straplocks are those??

The fretboard... could it be? Ebony?

WANT

 

[littledoc]

Overpriced, definitely. But hey, at least it's not as overpriced as the M8M.

Ehhh... I'm gonna guess dyed rosewood.

After the JEM7V7, that's one I want with a big "W"

fuck me

I would like to give Ibanez a try, but the higher end 8s have that stupid faux tremolo bridge...why can't they make a regular ol' hard tail on some of the nicer ones?

 

[jephjacques]

I really like that bridge. I haven't had to touch the main tuners on my M8M or 2228a since I got them.

 

[mphsc]

^ yea. Hate the trem system on those & for that kind of money I'd get another custom.

This guitar is the same price as the Tosin model 8. Take your pick
