I'm looking to buy an Ibanez J-Custom (new or used) but want to play before I purchase. Does anyone know where I can find one in the MD, DC, DE, VA area?

Talk to Rich at Ibanezrules.com -- he should be able to point you in the right direction.

wait for steve (sah5150) to post up - he knows a guy over ebay that does excellent j-custom deals both new and used with the cases.
he has posted before who it was because i had the same question, the guy on ebay is legit - if steve does not post up shoot him a PM.

Thanks guys.
I have my eye on one on the Ibanezrules site. I would like to find the guy on ebay to see what he has.

That isn't going to happen, bro. As far as I understand, J-Customs are not available at retail outlets in the USA. Go play a high end Prestige and if you like that, the J-Custom will be even better.nevusofota":jxqdllej said:
If you still want one, hit up meestursparkle on eBay - I've worked with him importing guitars from japan several times and it has always been completely smooth. I see right now he only has two up on eBay, but he usually has a ton of them...

food for thought - any Jcustoms that are 2011 and newer are going to be retailed now. it was announced at NAMM - i saw the youtube video on ibanez and remember them saying this.
but anything older than 2011 will be strictly japan/import only.

wow, that is great news! I've been using meestursparkle too, great guy to deal with, but always uneasy getting something shipped from Japan and playing roulette with customs.glpg80":33hto5gi said:sah5150":33hto5gi said:

Correct, for 2011 Ibanez will import J Custom to the USA.
Anyone considering a new Ibanez would do themselves a solid and buy from Rich Harris (Ibanezrules)

I saw the new j customs coming to the us market. I'm not a big fan of the vine fretboard inlay. You can't get standard dots as far as I can tell.glpg80":116a0rcq said:sah5150":116a0rcq said:

Thanks for the offer but I'm trying to find one without the vine inlay. That is a sweet guitar though. Is it still for sale in case I change my mind? It is no longer in your sig.M.Axel":2m95jydx said:
