JCS21 (more images)

The JCS21 is an S series solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez in 2001. It was made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the J Custom line.

The most striking feature of the JCS21 is the multicolor Japanese paper with which the body and headstock are covered. It has a mahogany body attached to a set-in maple and bubinga neck with a 22-fret Honduran rosewood fingerboard with a special diamond with wings (or two birds kissing?) inlay at the twelfth fret. Components include a pair of DiMarzio PAF Pro humbucking pickups, a Lo-Pro Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines.

The "JCS21" was made for just one year with production limited to as few as twelve examples.
