Up for sale, a 1998 Ibanez J. Custom KRG1802 Spot Model in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Part of the upscale J. Custom line, this non-catalog “Spot Model” features a gloss Transparent Turquoise finish, sold exclusively by Japanese retailer Musicland Key. Premium features include a AAAA flame maple top framed by multi-ply purfling, DiMarzio humbuckers, and a Lo-Pro Edge tremolo.

Weighing 7lbs 9oz, tonewoods include a mahogany body, AAAA flame maple top, three-piece maple neck, and slab 24-fret rosewood fretboard. The humbucker in the bridge position is a DiMarzio Tone Zone, a bold and powerful high-output pickup that offers great low end and lower-midrange response to ensure the tone stays full and fat. The neck humbucker is a DiMarzio Air Norton, a warm, open-sounding pickup designed with a unique magnetic structure to reduce string pull and increase sustain while maintaining dynamic feel and responsiveness to user inputs. Additionally, the five-way pickup selector switch enables single coil sparkle and shimmer at positions 2 and 4. This RG1802 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and spot-on intonation.
