The recent threads about the very limited run RG Prestige models found at the Texas GCs and the ones up on **** right made me curious to how many rare Prestige models exist.
By rare, I mean the ones not found in the catalogs, quoted w/ production numbers in the J-Custom range (12-24), and look every bit as slick as most J-Customs.
We know there are something like 60+ J-
Custom models out there. I wonder if its any where near the same for the rare Prestiges.
I'm also curious why these aren't badged J-Customs? Perhaps Ibanez sets a limit to the number of J-Custom models per year, but the luthiers like cranking out these sweet guitars? Or maybe the J-Customs are more aimed at the Japanese market and rare Prestiges go to the US and elsewhere?
I'd appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this, or at least add a few educated guesses.
