    I don't know, but the reserve on that guitar could be anything tbh. Very expensive, but the seller is correct, it's a rare mother****er.

    Doesn't look like it's got Piezo electronics though. Only see 1 switch and 2 knobs.

    No, no piezo unfortunately, but how much more black could it be? The answer is...

    But seriously, its just a 'real' pic of the 7-string JC you posted the other day. Most 'catalogue' photos are crappy i find, J-customs included.

    The only giveaway thats a flame maple top is the natural edge binding (PRS style), but ive seen that black onyx colour in the flesh and its sexy as hell. It seems a bit strange that a flame top would look good in transparent black, but it does somehow...

    Anyhow, I plan on ordering that torquoise JCustom tonight or tomorrow, im 90% decided to get it...heres another pic, what do yez reckon? ( i know the colour aint to everyones taste...)

    I didn't know the JCs were bound. It is indeed ****ing gorgeous though. The only thing that would make it nicer is if it had an Ebony fretboard without inlays. Still, there is a guitar I'll be getting soon with that kind of fretboards! ;)

    Oh, and I agree with the Doc, get a Seven String, Voodoo!

    Before I even touch that guitar, I'm wiping it down with the strongest cleaner I can find. God only knows what sort of bodily fluids will end up on it :eek:

    Ibanez RG1527 and Tokai PR50T is how I'm coping with it. ;)

    It Wasn't You, I was given a few dates before that didn't happen, and the latest ETA is tomorrow. But I wouldn't put too much faith in that. Let it take however long it takes tbh.

    Naw, it hasn't been shipped off to the dealer yet. Has to go to him, and I have to pay him before it'll be shipped off to me. So that's not going to happen, trust me on that Feyfey. ;)

    You misunderstand me. It's not the cost, it's the "I don't really need a **** load of new gear again" thing at the back of my head. Guilt I think it's called.

    Ah, I had the pleasure of playing one of those lovely Universes on Friday. Absolutely gorgeous guitar altogether! I was nearly going to buy one, but I didn't have quite enough, so I got the RG1527. The one I played was seriously nice, I was very hungover and I don't play well when I'm like that whatsoever, but christ, this thing was nearly playing itself, all I had to do was hold it, and let it work! :eek:

    If I was you, I'd bump that Universe up to the very summit of your list.

    Or, that lovely J Custom 7 String I'll be getting (hopefully), which would probably be a smidge better, having the Mahogany/Flamed Maple body and DiMarzio Tone Zone & Air Norton pickups, as opposed to the Basswood body and DiMarzio Blaze pickups of the Universe.

    Yes, but it's a good problem! :D

    Seriously though, really nice guitars. I'm seriously thinking of getting myself a matching J Custom set:

    RG8127F_BX_00_01.jpg
    RG8270F_BX_00_01.jpg

    Those would be ****ing gorgeous together!
    DiMarzio pickups, too! Tone Zone/Blue Velvet/Air Norton in the 8270, I'd ****ing love to hear what that sounds like. :eek:

    No no, the I have already decided. I'm heading to Japan in January, and fully plan to visit Ishibashi in person so I can bring back a J Custom or 2, hopefully that set I speak of there.
