oh my god, you lucky bastardo!! I want the same one without the tree of life inlay. ishibashi has one like that with no tree of life and an EBONY fretboard!! I love ebony fretboards! I have my suhr modern on craigslist trying to trade for a J Custom. I listed the price above what its worth so people would not make offers and only a trade would happen. The first day I put it up, I had 2 offers, one a bit older, and a newer one with tree of life. Since then, even though I specifically state in the ad that I would ONLY trade for a J Custom, people have offered up many guitars that ARE NOT J Customs, and realy crappy trade offers. One guy wanted to trade 3 rg(350? I think they are)s and tried to say I could resell each one for a grand. I looked up the price out of curiosity and they were like 300 or 400 NEW at guitar center. Many people have made crazy low ball offers also. Craigslist can start to grind your nerves and patience. I love it!

I saw that one on Ishibashi as well, looks great!

I hate craigslist. Always the worse when you are trying to sell. What color j-custom was the guy offering? I've been trying to look for a purple one but it's hard to come across any J-customs, especially used.

the newer j custom with tree of life fretboard was blue, not purple. you are stoked man, the j customs are bad ass. I played one and that was it, the neck FELT SO GOOD!!! I didn't think much if anything could feel better than the modern I have, so when an Ibanez felt better I was blown away.

It just left Tokyo, not sure on timing. I hope customs doesn't hold on to it for too long when it gets to the States. Hopefully I get it by early next week.

Last time I ordered a guitar from Japan it took 5 days.

Musiciansfriend & GC have brand new 2012 j custom 7 string versions for sale for $1999

https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/ ... ric-guitar

Wonder if I should get one to replace my 1527 :)


That's a crazy deal! That one is a custom color for Musician's Friend/ Guitar Center. I owned a 1527 and an 8527.The 1527 is a great guitar , and I think it played a bit better than the 8527 I had. But the 8527 tonally was a touch better.
 
Nice find man! Maybe it's a good thing they don't ship that model to Canada for my wallet's sake! Not like I'd drop that much to find out if I even like a 7-string.

Hoping it plays & sounds as nice as it looks! Since i'm moving I can't do big amps anymore so I have moved onto guitars instead :lol: :LOL:
 
One J Custom already inbound from Japan and now this 7 from GC! :lol: :LOL: :rock: You're not helping matters for me. :lol: :LOL:
 
Damn!! I'm going to have to sell one of my Les Paul's for that 7 string at GC. That is an amazing price!

DO IT! :rock: After I sold my herbert and henning I had excess gear fund sitting around...now how do I sneak in two guitars? :doh:

Seriously! I've been looking at these for awhile and have never seen them go down this low. No way in hell I would pay $4000 for a new one, but at half that price for a brand new one its hard to pass up. After I saw that 12 month no-int financing was available that sealed the deal for me. Last thing I need is another guitar though :lol: :LOL:
