MINT RARE Ibanez J-custom HRG1802-S shop special (JPM)

*relisted due to non-paying buyer*

AMAZING MINT CONDITION!

This guitar is a J-custom shop-special Ibanez HRG-1802S model  - EXTREMELY RARE!

It features an amazing magenta flamed maple body, custom-coloured Dimarzio Steve's special & air norton pickups, a 3-way 4DPT pickup selector with centre position coil-tapped, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and a lo-pro edge tremolo system. .
Aside the body, the guitar is built to the specs of a John Petrucci JPM100 model, with the same pickups, controls and neck profile.
It is not a catalog J-custom and therefore would have been produced in extremely limited numbers. Possibly even a one-off.

It is an absolutely stunning piece and in totally pristine condition,The only flaw on this guitar is a slight bit of corrosion on the head of one of the neck bolts. It is barely noticeable and i have taken a close up photo to show it. The cavity plates still have the factory plastic protectors.
The 2-piece flamed maple body is absolutely mind-blowing. I'd hate to think how much that slab of wood cost!
I bought it from a seller in the USA who bought it from Japan. It has never left my house and barely been played, my guess is less than 20 hours. Needless to say, the frets are in 100% condition.
The setup is amazingly low and the tone is extremely tight, defined and punchy, not overly bright at all as one may expect it to be.

I bought this on a collecting binge and sadly I have to let it go, I need funds for recording an album with my band and touring. I can't believe I'm selling it but I'm too reluctant to play it because it is in such good condition and i need the money.

Bidding starts at a crazy $1600!!!!
