The JPCS20 "CALDERA" is an 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 JPCS20 is a One-off model which is sold exclusively by select Ibanez music retailers.

With this design, the Japan Custom Shop wanted to create a contemporary, artistic take on the classic RG550, while still preserving the characteristics that make this model instantly identifiable, such as a HSH pickup configuration, top rout design with a pickguard, and a bolt-on neck joint.


The JPCS20 - "CALDERA" features ash body with figured koa top bolted to a 3pc maple/purpleheart neck, with ebony fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets with tree of life and luminlay side dots inlays. Components are a DiMarzio Air NortonHumbucking pickups on the neck position, a DiMarzio True Velvet Single coil pickup in the middle position and a DiMarzio The Tone Zone on the bridge position, a Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, gold hardware, gotoh machine heads and includes hardshell case & certificate of authenticity.
