JCRG1902 Natural (more images)

The JCRG1902 is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2019. It was crafted in Japan by Sugi as part of the high-end J Custom line. The JCRG1902 is a spot model which is sold exclusively by select Japanese music retailers.

The JCRG1902 features a 4mm thick Hawaiian koa top filled with blue resin on a slightly smaller (98% normal size) RG body of African mahogany bolted to a roasted maple and African mahogany neck with Velvetouch finish which is also slightly shorter than the typical RG neck with a 24¾" scale. The neck has a selected figured maple fingerboard with 24 nickel silver frets with hemispherical fret end treatment and abalone dot position markers. The headstock has the same Hawaiian koa veneer. Components include a pair of EMG active humbucking pickups with chrome covers, a Gotoh tune-o-matic style bridge with custom chrome and Hawaiian koa tailpiece, recessed Easy Access control knobs, Gotoh tuning machines with matte black buttons and Gotoh Free-Lock II strap pins.

Previous similarly downsized RG models include the JCRG11M, JCRG11R, JCRG16C01 and JCRG1701 — all of these models have tremolos. The JCRG1403 is a downsized model with a similar tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece.

The JCRG1901 is another downsized, limited J Custom released in 2019, but it has a tremolo bridge and doesn't have the resin filled top. The JCRG1903 is a related, full-sized, limited, J Custom RG model offered in 2019.

The JCRG1902 was produced only in 2019.
