hey guys! im planning on getting a new guitar soon and im still in the process of choosing...would like some opinions/thoughts. I'm unable to provide links as im a new member but if you type ibanez j custom on e b a y the first ibanez is from ishibashi and the second is from meestursparkle.

Ibanez J Custom RG8570Z RS BRAND NEW with case and paperwork for $2400
Body:Flamed Maple / African Mahogany body
Neck:5pcs Maple / Walnut j.custom neck
Fingerboard:Rosewood fingerboard with "Tree of Life" inlay
Bridge:Edge-Zero Tremolo bridge w/ZPS3
Neck P.U DiMarzio� Air Norton� (H) neck P.U
Mid P.U DiMarzio� True Velvet� (S) mid P.U
Bridge P.UiMarzio� Tone Zone� (H) bridge P.U
so my dilemma...is the fact that the first ibanez comes with an edge pro, but is used and missing its paperwork and case. Whereas the second ibanez is brand new with case and paperwork but has the edge-zero which I am a bit iffy about, and it will cost $700 more.
A little nitpicky thing I dont like is the second one doesnt have TEAM J CRAFT on the back or the same short paragraph that the first one has. I think I have the right to be picky when im spending this much.
what do you guys think? any input would be muchly appreciated.
