Fuck fucking fuck, I need this guitar!

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...3752890828&rd=1

rAAAAh

If only I had the cash! a rare Ibanez J-custom...

Those J customs are the shit;

Production totals would be low and would allow experimentation of various designs. At most, a few dozen of one particular model was created.

only made for one year... and in America they're even more hard to find since there's allmost none around.. only six model types of the 23 types of customs made it over to america. (so thats like 100 guitars in total)

Right now Ibanez is making a small series, but on the website:
''J-Custom Guitars can NOT be ordered from Ibanez Dealers
in the USA, as they are NOT intended to be sold outside of JAPAN''

so its a definete steal...

I don't have the cash for it right now. but if I did have the cash I'de definetly place a bid. these are more rare then the DNA swirls and all the older prestiges. this is what was the essense of the prestige range later on, but the prestige range wasn't build by hand and its made in way larger numbers and with less qualitiy woods and finish.

meh. I think I'm going to this guy's place in germany and treathen him to hand it over.

Those all look pretty damn nice, I wish I had $600 for a RAN guitar, and i want to learn sitar. I found a nice cheap one for $350, but I can't afford that either.

I need the fucking IC400 from Ibanez!

http://www.ibanez.co.jp/world/produ...400BK-1M-02.jpg

That is absolutely my dream guitar. I had the chance to play it once and a Guitar shop near me. This Guitar makes any kind of metal sound extrodinary.

It costs about $700. Defenetly a good Price!

wow. the Iceman.

I don't like the design, but its a one of a kind non the less!

I'm in the process of buying my dream guitar, but it's gonna be a suprise... maybe its not going to work out (needs shipping and shit) but if it does, well. then I've got one of the best guitars for metal ever made. (not a well known one but a fucking expensive one all handmade... OFR... neck thru... bla bla bla bla..)

no no no, you don't get Ibanez's do you

they are meant to be VERSATILE! you don't rip out a blue velvet just 'cuz they get in the way, I dont' mind my HSH setup at all, it doesn't even get it the way....

Hell, I like single coils, as long as they're NOT in the bridge position.

Guitar-demon, one hint, the body was made by ESP but the guitar is not an ESP.. it's american made though

well... that's your crappy pick technique then

a single coil in the middle is neat for jazz/blues stuff, though if you don't intend on using it... well you could take it out, but some people like to play other stuff then metal. I actually enjoy my middle pickup, but only because its decent. most single coils are pretty shitty.

Well... ESP Ghost Builds quite a few guitars.. but since ESP has NO american factory its not possible that your getting american made guitar that was ghost built by ESP.

So it cant be a Kramer (they made their own bodies, but ESP ghost built their overseas models) or Schecter...

aha, but you're overseeing one important factor... think back to the 80's for that

ESP designed bodies too and sold their designed (molds), that model was used for a specific model by an american guitar manufacturer (bankrupt now and taken over and turned into shit.)

Yes your talking about Kramer..

but only their oversea's bodies were made by ESP.

All the American Kramer's were 100% made by Kramer in their factory in Neptune, New Jersey.

Your grammar rivals most ganster rappers. Be proud, foo'.

Iceman guitars are not very good.

It looks fine, and it's better to do that when you see the picture on the internet rather than when you've got it right there and have to clean off the finish. Maybe clean out the pickups, too. The only real problem with it is the guy selling it's awful description: 'the 5-position pickup switch allows you to go from Korn/Coal Chamber to Eric Clapton.' What shit? Aside from that, I don't see what should stop him from being excited. Guitars are exciting.

Isn't the Iceman Paul Stanley's signature guitar?
