Ridiculous Ibanez Custom Shop Guitars

"Please ask before touching". You have to buy them all now.

Guitars are getting way too expensive in general, so custom guitars are even more outrageously priced these days. A standard Mayones Duvell Elite used to be like $2500, now it's $3500+ without any custom options.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

I follow a lad on Instagram who makes custom guitars. They are so beautiful I actually considered looking up the prices... Well, his cheapest guitar is around 25k USD and they go up from there.

[@umbertoyltp]

Dentists and lawyers need guitars, too. On their walls. With a spotlight on them. Or eachother.

[@JoeHeisler]

Sugi customs are not cheap, not really surprised about the prices since this has been pretty inline with Sugi Ibanezes. Personally I probably rather buy one of those over an expensive PRS but also I don't know if I would ever buy either, haha.

[@magneto9210]

You're God damn right, I want it pointy. I really wanted one of those headless Quest guitars, but I couldn't justify it. Know why? Not pointy.

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

Locking tuners are for quick string changes. It should be a modern standard.

[@guitaristforfunn]

Agreed. I just picked up a Prestige and I'm going to replace the regular gotoh tuners with their locking ones.

[@vyen9343]

"neckthroughiness"... I learn so much guitar terminology because of Henning. Beautiful guitars though. I wonder if one can order discontinued models at the Ibby custom shop.

[@JgHaverty]

No. These arent even made by ibanez.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

Realy Cool...I wish you made a trip just right behind you for the Prestige line..

[@accidentian]

Your roasting Ibanez is the best guitar show on the internet! I wish there will be more episodes of roasting Ibanez. That said, I wish they can have an improved version of the S series (e.g. the 5 way switch blend into the wood instead of extra plastic) and also more j custom version for that series. Can't imagine myself play RG for too long.

[@BFHPET]

3:36 thanks for telling them this!!!

[@rod_barrett]

haha yeah who would buy those **starts peering over to my 7 ibanez exclusive guitar collection and begins sweating**

[@BFHPET]

[@justin.hombach]

😂😂😂😂 welll

[@jamesglandon3737]

I remember when I was hunting down Ibanez Prestige models in the mid 2010's and you could find a solid Prestige for like 500$-600$, and you could get a 5150 or 6505+ for the same price, today....its like triple the price.

[@BoyAditya]

Gibson be like "pfftt... Only €7500??.. hold my authentic"

[@brian770]

that last guitar pulled at my heart HARD !!!!! so nice.

[@DOESlab]

is that martina blazeska around 07:35

[@TortureofhypocrisY]

Sick models!!! Were there any new RGDs also?

[@brian770]

anybody can put locking tuners on a guitar with a trem, but there is no reason ever to do so......... it makes no sence at all, other than to jack up the price even higher.

[@raytorvalds3699]

There IS a reason (for some). Easier/faster restringing. I have locking tuners on my Floyd equipped guitar just for that reason.

[@brian770]

@@raytorvalds3699 not really, i have 3 guitars with trems, and i just put the balls at the top , saves a lot of time and looks cool also.

[@raytorvalds3699]

[@richardmacyczko1580]

We obviously buy guitars that we love to play. Now if a loved one would buy one that is not only wonderful to play but is an incredible piece of art, (as most guitars are) why not?. A Van Gogh for the common musician. And if one of my loved ones are watching, the only question is . . . how much do you love me? 💕 💰 ❤ 💲

[@limpindug]

H buddy, that fret board looked more paduke than cocobola.? Enjoyed the show mate. 👍🥃Respect to you mate.

[@thetownspeople6486]

Nice guitars but grossly overpriced. Grossly overpriced. Did I mention they’re grossly overpriced? Because there’s no way in hell I’d pay that much for a guitar.

[@JgHaverty]

Please explain how a 1 off custom bespoke guitar made by one of the most exclusive, in demand and respected custom shops in the world is "over priced" here? Would love to hear your explanation on that. They arent "over priced" because they all sold the moment they got offered. You are welcome to not be able to afford them, or more importantly not find value in them. I mean thats a very fair and valid perspective. I certainly dont. ... and please before you start saying some dumb shit; you should probably know these guitars are NOT made by ibanez nor their j custom shop. They are simply branded that way for ease of marketing, sales and licensing/contracting.

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

I mean, if you want exotic woods, just order a semi-custom Kiesel or something for half those prices. I dunno, I'm thinking that budget guitars have become so good now, that brands feel they can charge ridiculous prices for the really fancy shit, and everyone who can't or won't pay for the premium can just get a solid instrument for well under a thousand bucks. And, of course, inflation. Although that's definitely a very convenient excuse for adding some price gouging on top. Even Ibanez's mid-range has become seriously over-priced in the last couple years.

[@dezertson2011]

Yeah but then it looks like a Kiesel.

[@Oilid]

I loved the end so much! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@broncoxy]

You should definetly put the _Please ask before touching_ on a tshirt.

[@nomadenview]

Thanks sir for your honesty.... And I never forget about you make a joke about ESP custom..... LMFAO....

[@damiano2211]

1. Not for my pocket. Never tried a suji, but I guess the sound is pretty similar with the others. Maybe the feeling could be awesome? I don't know... 2. The aesthetic doesn't hit me. I agree with you I also found some models ridiculous. To me fiuji are ok, and unfortunately lastly their prices are scary... 3. In the end it doesn't actually even exist an Ibanez factory. In Japan only suji e fuji, outside cort (each one products also other models of its own brand). So (in my opinion) bye bye j custom!

[@jansabarth9466]

Henning... ask before you touch 🤣🤣

[@garybobst9107]

Not true! If you keep your eyes open, and disregard brand names you can find good instruments for low prices.

[@jackyquacky28]

I'm sorry, but I'll stick with Kiesel guitars for half the price for better grade woods and locking tuners ;)

[@michawee]

Kiesel are awesome

[@kenwayaiden4535]

[@michawee]

Ibanez guitars are so boring compared to other brands. Also no locking tuners for 7000 bucks. Wtf.

[@rocknrollrebel84]

The fuck you on about

[@justin.hombach]

Well don‘t think you need locking tuners when you have a Floyd.

[@BFHPET]

etyschpi42 you gotta be after them if they swithing to gig bags like music mans! hate when expensive guitars arrive in gigbags.

[@EytschPi42]

but Music Man switched to Mono and those bags are safer than ANY case… we tested it… watch the video on Colin Scotts‘s channel.

[@BFHPET]

@@EytschPi42 i dont like gig bags its cheap. there should be an option for consumers to choose. i would always have a hardcase.

[@EytschPi42]

Mono are VERY expensive and protect your instrument better than any case! We‘ve proven it.

[@BFHPET]

@@EytschPi42 but you gotta tell them to knock the price down here in europe instead then! ;)

[@EytschPi42]

you can’t bitch about gig bags being cheap and then say take the price down. When it comes to traveling with your guitar and protecting it, a Mono Vertigo Ultra will keep it safer than ANY case. That is a fact. No case would survive three drops from a balcony and being dragged up and down the street 30 times… the Mono will.

Yes they are beautiful but shit, they are way too much money! Certainly for us mere mortals. If I had the money would I buy one, no way! I would get myself a bespoke piece by Seth Baccus or PJD or PJE even. I wish!

[@JgHaverty]

1 off, custom made bespoke instruments made by a hyper prestigious super exclusive company is "too expensive"? Would love to hear your explanation on that. Im going to give you a freebie here because I know you're about to say some nonsense -> Spoilers, these guitars are NOT actually made by ibanez.

no, they obvioulsy do come in a nice case!

@@EytschPi42 yap, I’m just messing around because Ibanez always comes up with something missing, either locking tuners, cases, edge tremolos, etc.etc..

[@punxOiOi13]

They do come with a case! Very nice custom Ibanez pick case, holds 4 picks.

[@FALLENOUTOFTIME]

j.custom is great ... but from a person that uses them as a tool... they should be better adjusted from the factory... I had to do it my self , because it came in a ridiculous setup with string much to high from the frets.... actually the guitars beside the sound and finish, its impossible to get the string close to the frets...as 12 fret 2 mm , I have en ESP mirage deluxe that is much lower than that .... and it could be adjusted to that low.... and yes the prices are ridiculous... there are better guitars producers out there
