Ok, so last week I was in another town for my job, and during a lunch break I went with a colleague to the guitar shop. This somehow resulted in me buying what you see below. The guy in the shop set it up for me and sent it to my town, and I picked it up yesterday. Haven't had time to unpack it until now, but it was worth waiting for! It (she?) plays like a dream - be jealous!

Sound samples please!

That's incredibly sexy !! Maples necks just scream out 'Play meeeee !!'

Gotta love impulse buying. A strange mixture of guilt and excitement !

Damn! It looks nice. The Prestige Series will always play and sound fantastic.

Schysst gura
I got exactly the same guitar case when I got my Ibanez, but no fancy fret cover and what is that thing looks like a hair spray

Awesome mate! Anything with a maple neck is super

Really nice ! First I thought It would be a 7 stringer !
And that case is so sexy


Which year model is it ? I'm assuming that is RG1570 ?
I have 2005 model but not that maple neck

And Team J. Craft FTW !!

Thanks guys. Still really happy about this instrument!

I might, MIGHT, post something this weekend.


It even sent me a text message saying "play me, pretty please", and in the car on my way home from I could here it calling from the back "play me, play me now!". I'm a fan of impulse buying.


Oh, didn't know you were Swedish. The "hair spray" is probably the manual..


I would love to own a 7 stringer. But, honestly, 6 strings is still too many for me.
About the model, keep guessing.


In fact, I do like the pickups. I have played EMG's recently, and come to like them a lot, but these seem somewhat more versatile. Oh well, we'll see if I still like them next week.


I have played 7's and even 8's. They still feel too wide. I guess it's something you'd get used to, but.. maybe next axe.
