The JPCS16 "SUNSET" is a high-end J Custom line RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2022. It was crafted by the Japan Custom Shop in Nagoya as part of the 50th anniversary of Ibanez’s US-based distributor Hoshino U.S.A. Inc.

The JPCS16 is a One-off model which is sold exclusively by select Ibanez music retailers.

The most unique feature on the JPCS16 is the 24.75” scale length, a medium scale length rather than the 25.5” long scale that is traditionally used on the RG. This slightly smaller scale makes the guitar more compact, comfortable, and lightning fast to play.


The JPCS16 - "SUNSET" features an alder body with quilted maple top bolted to a 3pc Wenge/Purpleheart neck, with ebony fingerboard, 24 stainless steel jumbo frets with mother of pearl dots and luminlay side dots. Components are a DiMarzio Air NortonHumbucking pickups on the neck and a DiMarzio The Tone ZoneHumbucking pickups on the bridge position, a Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, black hardware, gotoh machine heads and includes hardshell case & certificate of authenticity.
