Ibanez J Custom RG8527Z Electric Guitar - Royal Blue Sapphire - Sweetwater Exclusive

Incredibly fast J Custom Wizard-7 neck

Thin and built for speed, Ibanez Wizard necks enable effortless playability and comfort. The RG8527Z takes that design to the next level with its 5-piece maple/wenge J Custom Wizard-7 neck. The just-right feel provided by this neck encourages lightning-fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons. Capping the neck is a 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard, loaded with jumbo frets that are perfect for big note bends. Beyond that, the RG8527Z's frets have been given Ibanez's J Custom edge treatment, delivering the ultimate in smooth playability.

Palm muting never felt so good
