Up for sale is an absolute standout piece of Ibanez history: a 2006 j.custom handcrafted at the legendary FujiGen plant in Japan (Serial Number: F0627650). For players who understand the tier of master luthier craftsmanship, j.custom instruments do not have "good or bad" examples—they are uniformly excellent, handmade one-by-one to the absolute highest standards in the world. This particular guitar completely eclipses the standard Prestige line in feel, response, and build quality.This model was produced for one year only, making it exceptionally rare. You will almost never see these come up for market, and certainly none in this jaw-dropping Lizard Skin Candy Pearl Green sparkle finish. The textured, silky-smooth finish is flawless to the touch and completely commands the room under stage or studio lights.As a collector who has owned some of the rarest Ibanez pieces in existence (including 1-of-6, 1-of-12, and 1-of-36 limited runs), I can confidently say this is a standout player. It is in Excellent / Near Mint condition with zero notable imperfections. The neck features Ibanez’s famous Velvet Touch finish, offering a broken-in, friction-free feel that makes it an absolute dream to play.The electronics have been upgraded to the definitive high-output heavy metal duo: EMG 81 and EMG 85 active pickups, giving this ultra-premium shred machine an aggressive, crushing, yet articulate sonic footprint.The fretboard features premium Abalone dot inlays and a matching abalone logo. Note: The custom geometric/sharktooth style fret markers currently seen on the fretboard are high-quality overlays that look incredibly cool with the green finish, but they can be easily peeled off by the buyer if they prefer the clean, original abalone dot look.This investment-grade instrument ships 100% complete with its original j.custom form-fit hardshell case and original case candy.
