    Got this J-Custom RG1680 last week, great bargain, thanks in part to ishibashis 20% sale. Got the email to them in the final hour of business on the last day of the sale too :D

    Sweet! How many J Customs is that now? Why's there no strap buttons though? Seems a little odd. Not to mention your cube is blushing. Guess it must be camera shy.

    Strap buttons are recessed. Similar to the ones on your 8270, just more flush to the guitar, with a little pop in stud that attaches onto the strap.

    That's odd, I didn't have recessed strap buttons. Seem to be regular sort Ibanez use. Of course, now it's fitted with a very fine cotton DiMarzio Cliplock strap. Very swish indeed. ;)

    Ah no, black leather all the way...mmm...kinky;)

    Also, i dont mean you have recessed butons, just that the ones on this guitar work in the same way, a little stud pops into the hole in the button and locks in.

    Right you are so, I don't think I've come across strap buttons like that before, so I'll just have to take your word for it. ;)

    I love my strap though. :)

    How much was it landed? Did you get charged import fees? What pickups in it?

    Aye, i was charged import fees as usual. Ishibashi put all the documentation on the package so youre very unlikely to slip through without getting stung (it does happen though).

    Pickups are Paf Pro (neck), Steves special (bridge), and i cant remember off the top of my head the singlecoil.

    It was very very affordable, i can think of a lot of crappy guitars you can buy for this kind of money. You couldnt buy an american strat for example, new or secondhand ;) The J-customs in musicianinc start at e2400 though i think
