JCRG - New or not??

Hi all:

saw two J-Customs on the Ikebe-Gakki website and can't seem to find any info on them. They're labled JCRG-1 and JCRG-2, but they don't seem to be the same ones that are listed in the NAMM section of Ibanezrules.com (or are they???)

Anyone have more info on these?
TIA.
Marcus.

That JCS-1 is a FINE piece!

I don't think it's the same one.
The one one the Ikebe-Gakki website has a flame top, not a quilt, different inlays and neck binding.
The controls are different too.

I played those models when I was in Tokyo last year. They are neck-thru guitars. I recall that they were too heavy and too bright sounding for my tastes. On the plus side, I think the necks were thinner than other J-Customs but don't hold me to that.

BTW, I saw them in May last year, so they aren't that new.
