RG8527VV

 Serial# 2C 007 (for all you James Bond fans!) It's a 2003 model so it has the Edge Pro 7 trem on it which holds tune just fine. It's a beautiful guitar: 

- AAAA flamed maple top
- HEAVY mahogany body
- Rosewood board with offset abalone dots
- Rosewood headstock
- Beautifully finished satin, bound neck (no "glow-in-the-dark" side markers though!)
- Angled input jack with recessed knobs
- All the backplates are a dark, brushed aluminium as well.

Ibanez JCustom 7string Model 8527

I bought this after being fed up with the random, usually very low, quality of the prestige and other American sold Ibanez guitars. While I still have quite a few Ibanez guitars, this is my main instrument and some of the others will probably be up for sale soon.

When I got it, I didn't even know that it had glow in the dark side fret markers. You'd think this would be cheesy, but they're incredibly cool. (They have a black outline with an abalone looking center)

It may look like the Prestige model 7 string but don't be fooled.

Other features, Jem style input jack, bound neck, recessed knobs, and its the best playing Ibanez I've ever touched. (And I've had, and still have, quite a few of them.)

This isn't for sale. In fact, I'd like to get another J as the quality I'm seeing in this guitar is absolutely amazing.

Just thought I'd share one of these somewhat "rare" animals with you.
