Stylish j.custom RG for modern high-speed shredders
With the Ibanez j.custom RG8560-BSR Brownish Sphalerite, Ibanez sends a stylish workhorse for virtuoso high-speed shredders into the race, combining a dignified look, first-class playing characteristics and flexible sounds of the highest quality. While the 4 mm thick figured maple top and the tree-of-life in Macassar ebony fingerboard provide for the impressive look of the electric guitar, the practical mahogany body and the five-piece "RG j.custom Super Wizard" neck promise excellent handling even after long gigs and recording sessions. With three DiMarzio BlackVelvet pickups in a flexible HSS setup, the j.custom RG8560 elicits a wide sound spectrum from the guitar amplifier for the progressive styles of modern rock and metal. Naturally, Ibanez completes the j.custom RG8560-BSR Brownish Sphalerite with a tuning stable and buttery responsive Lo-Pro Edge Double-Locking Tremolo and precise Gotoh tuners.
The Ibanez j.custom RG8560-BSR Brownish Sphalerite is an elegant tool for modern playing techniques and contemporary sounds.
Wide cutaways and the All Access Neck Joint guarantee unhindered access to the high registers of the fast "j.custom Super Wizard" neck.
First-class woods and comfortable handling
The construction of the j.custom RG8560 is done with high-quality, carefully matched woods and puts a special focus on a lively sound and excellent handling. While the 4 mm flamed maple top with natural binding makes the RG a noble eye-catcher, the practical mahogany body not only lies comfortably on the body due to its sleek design language, but also guarantees easy access to the high registers with the All Access Neck Joint, which is flanked by wide Cutaways. The flat "j.custom Super Wizard" profile with 17 mm of wood under the first fret and 43 mm nut size transforms the five-piece maple-wenge neck into the ideal racetrack for virtuoso high-speed solos and tricky prog riffs, while the 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard with a full two-octave range sets no limits to creativity.
DiMarzio Black Velvet pickups in HSS setup and the flexible circuit promise an extensive sound palette. The Lo-Pro Edge tremolo keeps the tuning safely even after heavy actions.
DiMarzio BlackVelvet pickups with flexible circuitry
The electrical sound conversion of the j.custom RG8560 is handled by three DiMarzio BlackVelvet pickups in the flexible HSS setup, which provides an extensive range of high-caliber tones for contemporary rock and metal. While the two BlackVelvet single coils of the pickup set developed exclusively for Ibanez deliver treble-rich and transparent sounds with lively dynamics and precise articulation, the powerful, not too tightly tuned Black Velvet Bridge Humbucker convinces even at high gain settings with a rich, yet razor-sharp articulated presentation of every note played. While the mini-switchsplits the humbucker to a brilliant single coil if desired, and to realize classic timbres, the 5-way circuit with general volume and tone pots allows you to adjust the timbre.
Precise Gotoh tuners quickly bring the j.custom RG8560 into the correct tuning.
Tuning stable Lo-Pro Edge tremolo
Of course, Ibanez completes the j.custom RG8560-BSR Brownish Sphalerite electric guitar with shredder-ready Hardware with unlimited reliability for professional use on stage and in the recording studio. The buttery-soft Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge tremolo on the body promises smooth whammy-bar action for embellishing melodies and chords, while the double-locking setup guarantees absolute tuning stability even after the heaviest dive-bombs or squeals. At the headstock, Gotoh tuners also bring the electric guitar quickly and precisely into the correct tuning, while Gotoh strap locks guarantee a secure hold of the instrument on the strap.
