Two J-Customs w/ Vine Inlays - They look a lot like some of

[cmartin]

I think perhaps these two J-customs were discussed on the old forum, but just in case not, I figured it worth posting links to the images of them:
JCRG-3VV (Vintage Violin):

JCRG-3GA (Gold Amber):

How come Ibanez doesn't make gold bars to go with gold trems?

Is it just me or is it the same guitar in both pictures?

Anyhow, those are both sweet. *I want one or two of them.

I think the black bar looks good considering the black fine tuners and lock blocks.

The first guitar has a burst to it, second one is solid.

I went digging in the old forum and discovered that Stefano put up a link to a page at Ishibashi that had a couple (even smaller) pics of these two J-Customs back in October.

While I was looking for it, I came across the thread about how many J-Custom models there are in existence. Glen said info from Ibanez put the number around 60.
Wouldn't it be nice if Ibanez dedicated a couple of pages of their website documenting these? I'm sure if we could see them all, everyone here would find a Holy Grail worth questing for ala Kevan and the ever elusive RG-Egypt.
I'm curious how many 7-string J-Custom models they've produced. I can think of only two: The CST and the RG7-1-VL. Any others out there?

Wow, that is a really good looking, and I'm sure excellent playing guitar. *I'd definitely take one, or two, or three........*runs off to mortgage house*

Sign me up for that first one....

I would buy that in a second.

Is it me or are the links at the top now dead??

[Kevan]

They're dead.

Sorry- I can't edit in this Forum anymore, otherwise I'd repair them with the proper links.

[jd]

How about someone re-posting the proper links?? (please..?)

[jemsite]

there's nothing to fix. the JPGs are no longer on the remote server... smart idea to cut bandwidth given the number of views from the forum here ...glen

[jd]

Awwwww....

OK - so who's still got them in their browser cache then? :loco:

Dude, those are nice. I especially like the JCRG-3--I'm fond of amber and looks like JPM neck dimensions.

Agreed- the JCRG3 looks Grrreat - but why did they decide to leave the headstock black and not matching the top?? I think it'd look so much better.[Listen to me; "moan moan"; I want it all, and I want it now...] :idunno:
