Would I open a very big can of worms if I asked what the difference is in this case?
It says prestige on the headstock, but it s advertised as a J-Custom on sites that stock it, also the receipt from the shop and the guy there say it's a J-custom... I'm slightly confused to be honest! What gives?

Good question, I too have seen a prestige range with a J Custom case and a J custom tag.

First, if it doesn't say J Custom on the headstock, it isn't. Second, it's doesn't have a J Custom serial number so it's not even JC shop build [like some models badged Prestige are]. Even if it was, it would still be Prestige.

Interesting.

So where exactly on the headstock would it say J Custom, and then what exactly is a J Custom?

What is the difference between Team J Craft and J Custom?

Unfortunately, shops often don't know what they have or they over sell. Whether it's intentional or ignorant is impossible to tell. Either way, they usually aren't experts.

Oh I see... that makes sense. What i don't understand is why would 3 UK shops (Major ones too) would advertise them as J-Customs?

[Rgt_Lover]

It's actualy a Europe only special Prestige. Was meant as J custom for European customers. It's not quite a J custom, but it's better than your average Prestige.

No, they're all UK based

I see, I would have thought so if it was just one small shop doing it or something, but everywhere I look they advertise it as a J-Custom... A bit of (un?)intentional disinfo by the importer to the UK maybe? or something else?

3270 were not Europe only, standard Prestige production model in Japan. They are not JC built and are straight Prestige quality only. I have seen and passed on many of them. I bought the 2680M I have because it is JC built, but it's badged Prestige and so, it's still a Prestige.

There is no such thing as a J Custom case [except the ones HUSA put the 97' JC imports and 90ths in] and no such thing as a JC tag.
