The JC-QM1 is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1998. It is made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale J Custom line. It was a spot model which never appeared in a catalog.

The JC-QM1 features a mahogany body with a 4mm thick AAAA quilt maple top with thick abalone purfling and pearloid binding bolted to a maple neck with a reverse headstock and an ebony fingerboard with pearloid binding and offset abalone dot position markers. Components include cream colored DiMarzio pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil, a Lo-Pro Edge double locking tremolo bridge and Gotoh tuning machines.

The JC-QM3 has a similar body with a thinner purfling, a traditional headstock, no middle pickup and pearl gold hardware.

The JC-QM1 was produced only in 1998 in very small quantities.
