The JCRG1801 is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late October 2018. It is made in Japan by Sugi as part of the high-end J Custom line. This model is also being sold in Europe as the R9441F22G5.

The R9441F22G5 features a buckeye burl top in which the voids have been filled with blue resin on a swamp ash body bolted to a wenge and purpleheart Wizard neck with a Velvetouch finish and a selected white ebony fingerboard with pearl and abalone Tree of Life vine inlay. Components include an Edge double locking tremolo bridge, dual DiMarzio Fusion Edge humbucking pickups, a mini-toggle coil split switch, recessed Easy Access control knob (volume only), Gotoh locking strap buttons and Gotoh tuning machines.

A certificate of authenticity is included with each guitar. It's believed that only three examples were produced for Japan. It's unclear how many are being produced for other markets, but the number is presumably quite small.

The JCRG1801 was offered only in 2018 in Japan. In Europe it was sold 2018 - 2021 under the Japan Custom Shop item number R9441F22G5.
