The JPCS5 is a One-off model which is sold exclusively by select Ibanez music retailers.
JPCS5 "TORCH THE COSMOS" build
For this instrument, the concept was to take an iconic metal guitar and re-construct it using actual metal with a few custom touches and a blow torch thrown in on top. The first thing one notices about this RG6 is the cascading color palette running across the Titanium top, which might be mistaken for an intricately composed finish. The method used in creating this colorful effect, however, is actually much more utilitarian. Rather than a fancy finishing process or expensive paint scheme, a blow torch was taken to the Titanium top to create this multi-tonal burnt effect, delivering a powerful and rustic industrial appearance. This process was done all by hand so that the luthier could more effectively control the burn pattern, enabling a more deliberate, less random, final appearance.
The "JPCS5" features an alder body with burnt titanium top bolted to a 5 piece maple and walnut neck, with ebony fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets with Offset white dots and white side dots inlays. Components are a set of DiMarzio Evolution™ Humbucking pickups on the neck and the bridge positions and a DiMarzio Evolution™ Single coil pickup in the middle position, a Lo-Pro Edge tremolo, chrome hardware, gotoh machine heads and includes hardshell case & certificate of authenticity.
