Ibanez RG8570 J Custom, Royal Blue Sapphire

Full Description

Pickups for pros

The trio of DiMarzio pickups in the RG8570 give it the roaring voice of a dragon, with the high output of the humbuckers mixed with the bright, twangy single coil in the middle. Your riffs will enter a different dimension, and you'll be able to access virtually any voicing you want. The Tone Zone in the bridge has a beautifully crunchy, tight, articulate tone which will punch through any mix.

There's an Air Norton humbucker in the neck, which provides fat, juicy tones which are ideal for lead playing. Your licks will shimmer with clarity and soar with a voice which sings beautifully. Then there's the True Velvet single coil in the middle position, which is a perfect balance between the two humbuckers, with a lower output and sparkling tone. It's perfect for clean settings, making each note bright, clear, and twangy.

Ultra-rapid fretting

A bespoke RG j.custom Super Wizard neck makes this guitar's playability stand out from all others in its class. With the ability to effortlessly slide around the neck with no friction, you'll be able to play whatever you desire. Music is sure to come to you like a stream of consciousness as you express your ideas with newfound freedom.

The 5 piece maple and wenge construction adds a degree of brightness to the guitar's tone, whilst also boosting sustain significantly. A Macassar ebony fretboard with the iconic Tree of Life inlay also improves playability and boosts brightness, whilst looking stunning set against the natural finish. All in all, the woods which make up the RG8570 work wonders for its majestic, magical sound and playability.

Flawless features

A Lo-Pro Edge tremolo bridge and Gotoh SG831 machineheads allow you to keep your tuning incredibly steady, whilst also giving you total freedom to use the whammy bar as you please (without the strings going out of tune).

Each jumbo fret has had j,custom fret edge treatment to ensure smoothness and ultimate playability. There's also some useful strap locks to keep the guitar secure when you’re using a strap. If these ultimate high end features weren't enough, the finish and decoration on the RG8570 is also a centrepiece of its overall design. Gold hardware combined with a tree of life inlay on the fretboard and a stunning finish are representative of the expert craftsmanship which has gone into its design. This really is one of a kind, and it will always perform exceptionally well, no matter what the circumstances.
