Ibanez J-Porn

Unfortunately, they only manufactured six units of the MRG17 for Kurosawa Gakki, and they were all gone very fast as soon as they were released on May 2022 😭

I would have grabbed one without hesitating.

It is good to see that they return to use the Lo-Pro Edge at the new j.customs

On the other side, the RG8560SLTD posted at the OP are not selling well and they have dropped the price (only some of the HH are gone). Maybe because the top doesn't cover all the front, making it look unfinished? And to be honest, the more I look at it, the more it looks like an old furniture :D

That MRG17 sure is gorgeous!

Not about to hark on any Fuji/Sugi-made j., quality-wise, but personally I'm also not too fond of the OP guitar's aesthetic. The arm contour looks especially bad, although even with a matching contour bent top it would be a hard pass for me. Not a huge fan of most burl and/or resin tops, regardless of the instrument.
 
I'll have a couple of beauties to add this this during the coming week. Love these guitars like no others!
