The IJVC50 is a Jampack series acoustic guitar kit introduced by Ibanez in late 2012. Outside the US market, it was referred to as the VC50NJP until 2024 when the specs of that model diverged a bit. It is made in China. It includes a VC50 guitar along with a gig bag, strap, chromatic tuner, accessory pouch and plectrums.

The VC50 features a grand concert body constructed of a laminated spruce top on agathis sides and back. The round soundhole has a black and white decal rosette and a black pickguard. The mahogany neck joins the body at the 14th fret and has a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers. Components include a compensated plastic saddle in a rosewood bridge with ivory Ibanez Advantage bridge pins, a plastic nut, a black pickguard, and chrome Ibanez covered tuning machines.

For 2018 the rosewood fretboard and bridge were replaced with nandu wood. For 2019 the neck was changed from mahogany to nyatoh. For 2020 the back and sides were changed to meranti. For 2021 the body width and length were very slightly increased.

The IJV50/ V50NJP is a similar model with a dreadnought body.
