JPCS4 (2022)

The JPCS4 "UNPARALLELED" is a seven string multi-scale RGD series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 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 JPCS4 is a One-off model which is sold exclusively by select Ibanez music retailers. The most interesting feature of this instrument is its shorter 22”-23” multi-scale design. The body is also scaled down to proportionally match the shorter scale length.Utilizing this less conventional 22"-23" multi scale-length design still allows players to benefit from even string tension and improved left hand ergonomics, but reducing the span of the neck allows for wider interval jumps between frets and more comfortable playing when in tight studios, stages, or practice spaces.

Not only does this instrument feature a stunning Koa top but the top itself is also extra thick, coming in right at around an inch in depth. The thickness of the top supplies an additional touch of top-end brightness and also adds Koa figuring around the entire perimeter of the body.

The JPCS4 "UNPARALLELED" features a mahogany body bolted to a maple and wenge neck with a ebony fingerboard with 24 fanned frets, mother of pearl offset dot position markers and side dots. Components include a pair of EMG 808 active humbucking pickups, a ABM 3210 fixed bridge, a plastic nut, Gotoh locking tuning machines. Includes Hardshell Case & Certificate of Authenticity.
