New Maple Fingerboard Ibanez J customs

Ibanez has a new RG specification added to their ever famous J.Custom line. J.Custom RG now comes with Maple Fretboard. A new set of pickups has also been developed for this guitar. The Neck pickups features less coil windings and Alnico 3 pickup while the Bridge pickup features an Alnico 5 magnet with more coil windings compared to the neck pickup. This is employed for note sustain and warmness.

The locking nut is 42mm instead of 43mm. This also means that the neck is 1mm narrower than the standard RG neck and obviously, there is a different in neck shape profile compared to the standard J.Custom RG. Specification wise, the guitar looks very viable and is probably a top notched instrument. However, my only qualms about the design is, why didn't they inlay the maple with the standard J.Custom inlay. It would have look gorgeous with these specifications.
