JCS12FM-TT and JCS12-CRS, 504,000 yen. Sob!!!

Oh my! A neck-thru S...... That top is exquisite..

Ditto, neck-thru S. Wow.

Now if they would just do an S with direct-mount pickups...

Holy crap, that blue one is sexy like a beautiful woman. Too bad that price is so high.

Just to add some extra detail about this guitar for people who dont read Japanese:

It's a 25th anniversary S series J Custom model.

It's a mahogany body with a Bubinga/Mahogany neck. Bubinga fretboard.

Neck is an Original Wizard, NOT the super wizard typically seen on most J customs.

Edge zero Tremolo with ZPS.

knobs on the neck are pure ivory (poor elephants).

I do like the FMTT, but I will never part from my s540fmtt and this is too similar to own as well.

The CRS is just another reissue of the s9870. Nice, but I'd rather own the original.

I'm glad they're making S-JC's again.

I usually don't like S's or quilts but DAMN those are gorgeous guitars!!!

What? The dot markers in those pictures are clearly abalone.

Do you mean the binding?

Those are nice looking!!

$5200 list owwww

Those are beautiful!!! I doubt they'd use ivory as in elephant tusk. I would hope not as a global company. Trade in elephant ivory that isn't pre-CITES (earlier than 1973) is illegal and I'd doubt Ibanez would sell products with elephant ivory for those reasons.

I do agree with one thing thats been said....PLEASE make an S with direct mount pickups!!

That first one is killer! Both second one ain't too bad either. Would be great as an RG - I've never been too comfortable with the S body, but it is still serious eye candy!!!!

Wow....those are beautiful!

Why does Ibanez not take the recipe from the first S and make into into a prestige and smash all previous sales records for the variation?

You mean the HSS version with the three switches, or just an HSS version in general?

I do wonder why HSS guitars aren't popular any longer?
