J Custom RG8470A

[TongueShredder]

Does anyone knows anything about this J Custom RG8470A? Need to know more before I go hunt for it......Thanks

[Chris777]

I know enough about it not to advertise what model I am looking for before I find one

[TongueShredder]

Actually, I am hunting for a few models...This is not the only one. Let just say, I have a few options in hand that I can discreetly choose before making my final choice. Thanx for the advise buddy

RG8470AVV. 26 produced, only available in VV finish, basically an RG8270VV but made with super high quality flame maple and a matching flamed headstock instead of non-matching rosewood. If they had done them in TB I would probably buy one

Thanx Bro, what would I do without you?

The problem is you can't get a deal on one and all the ones I've seen so far have had splotchy looking stained tops.

Interesting.... that just looks like it's stained in more of a burst than a uniform finish... which I actually kind of like

As for getting a deal, I thought that usually didn't happen for one-time buyers purchasing a single new instrument?

VV is a burst.
5% discount is about it.

Have to agree with you, the body texture looks more obvious and awesome than ,say, the RG8270F.

Glad you guys like it. The wood I'll take, the dark splotchy stain I'll pass on

Lol actually, I don't like VV finishes at all, so it's a moot point for me... that and I'm out of cash after the 8670 and JPM90 I've picked up... otherwise I'd be getting one of the HRG04 BXs
