The Ibanez RG8520 J-Custom is the ultimate expression of the RG series legacy—crafted in Japan by Ibanez’s top luthiers for elite performance, breathtaking aesthetics, and uncompromising tone. Finished in a mesmerizing Sodalite blue, this guitar combines decades of innovation with premium components and flawless execution.

Featuring a 4mm selected AAA flamed maple top over an African mahogany body, the RG8520 resonates with warmth, clarity, and midrange punch. The Super Wizard 5-piece maple/wenge neck is engineered for lightning-fast playability, while the Macassar ebony fretboard adds snappy attack and rich sustain. The Velvetouch finish ensures unmatched neck feel, and the j.custom fret edge treatment gives a silky-smooth playing experience at every fret.

Equipped with DiMarzio® Air Norton™ and The Tone Zone® pickups, this beast delivers aggressive drive, articulate cleans, and everything in between. The Lo-Pro Edge tremolo system gives you total expressive control with superior tuning stability. A coil-tap switch expands tonal options, and Gotoh® hardware ensures elite-level performance across the board.
