"Team J craft" is a marketing gimmick to make prestiges seem cooler and more special....all prestiges have that stamped on the back of the neck, even the MIK S series prestiges all prestiges (except for the new 3550) play the same, the price difference are usually cosmetic or pick ups J customs are different than prestiges, they are available only in japan, and they are usually found used here in the US..they are top quality.

Just make sure it's a Team J Craft build, some prestiges are not (but 99.999% are). The necks take a bit to get used to (at least for me being a former Les Paulian), but it's worth the transformation. From what I understand a 4 number model is a prestige, and 3 #'s are the cheaper ones. However, the 7321 (or w/e) is not a prestige, but it's a 7 string. My guitar is a 2610... and doesn't have a pickguard haha. There's also a 2620 I believe with 2 pickups? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There's also a 2620 I believe with 2 pickups? no offense, but the way you stated that can be confusing and somewhat wrong here is why: ALL prestige guitars EVER made in the HISTORY of IBANEZ say "prestige" and "team j craft" somewhere on them. HOWEVER. prior to the first prestige, the ibanez RG550's RG750's and any variations of those were and remain to be the BEST quality of guitar ibanez ever offered. any ibanez rg5XX series or 7XX series will beat ANY prestige out there. note: this may not be the case for J customs.

Really? I thought: RG Prestiges all are Team J Craft only (and some other ones). SZR Prestiges aren't Japanese, they are Korean I thought. We have a prestige at the local shop, and it does not say Team J Craft on it. Artist Prestige You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

With a bad amp every guitar will sound like crap. - Jonas You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The necks are ultra thin, very comfortable for me and the flat fingerboard allows a really super low action set up, all in all I`d highly recomend getting one, I dont think you`ll be disappointed but suggest changing the pickups, they for me are the weakest link in the whole guitar.

I have RG2570 wich is basicly the same guitar, and I changed the pickups to Evolution, and now it sound´s awsome. This is a quality instrument for a decent price.
