Ibanez RG8570-BRE — J Custom Series Electric Guitar with Case

The Ibanez RG8570-BRE epitomizes the pinnacle of Ibanez’s J Custom lineage, combining exotic tonewoods, handcrafted precision, and boutique appointments. Crafted in Japan by master luthiers, this model features a Korina body with a bound flamed maple top, a three-piece roasted maple neck with an ebony fretboard, premium DiMarzio True Velvet and True Single pickups, Gotoh Custom hardware, and an ultra-gloss finish. Accompanied by a deluxe J Custom hardshell case, the RG8570-BRE meets the demands of professional players and collectors alike.

1 | Tonewood Selection & Body Craftsmanship

The RG8570-BRE’s body is meticulously carved from premium American Korina, prized for its balanced midrange warmth and crisp high-end clarity. Overlaid on the Korina is a bookmatched flamed maple veneer, hand-selected for dramatic figure and resonance enhancement. The body is fully bound with multi-ply binding on both top and back, adding stability and visual refinement. Through a combination of CNC precision and hand-sanding, the contours—chambering, bevels, and edges—are shaped to ergonomic perfection, ensuring comfort during long performances.

2 | Neck Construction & Roasted Maple Treatment

A three-piece roasted maple neck forms the backbone of the instrument, featuring Ibanez’s proprietary thermal treatment process (S-TECH WOOD). This roasting expels moisture, relieves internal wood stresses, and increases density, yielding exceptional stability and sustain. The neck profile is the signature J Custom “Jumbo,” with a slightly compound contour that transitions from a robust base to a slim upper shaft, catering to both complex chordal work and lightning-fast solos.

3 | Ebony Fretboard & Jumbo Stainless Frets

The bound fretboard is crafted from Macassar ebony, celebrated for its smooth feel and articulate tonal response. Twenty-four extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets are installed, providing durability, bright attack, and extended life. Each fret undergoes a multi-step hand-leveling, crowning, and polishing process to ensure zero sharp edges and perfect intonation. Abalone side dots and a custom J Custom headstock inlay offer subtle luxury and guidance under stage lighting.

4 | Electronics — DiMarzio True Velvet & True Single

The RG8570-BRE employs a dual-humbucker plus single-coil configuration: DiMarzio True Velvet humbuckers at neck and bridge positions and a True Single-Soapbar in the middle. True Velvet pickups deliver rich, articulate humbucking tone with vintage clarity, while the True Single provides articulate, strat-like chime. Unique push-pull tone pots enable coil-splitting on both humbuckers, expanding the palette to over a dozen distinct voices. A five-way blade switch offers intuitive access, while premium wiring and insulated cavities eliminate noise and maximize signal purity.

5 | Hardware — Gotoh Custom Bridge & Locking Tuners

Anchoring the strings is the Gotoh J Custom bridge, a fixed unit with stainless-steel saddles and brass blocks for optimal sustain and intonation. Gotoh Custom SG501 locking tuners, featuring an 18:1 gear ratio, ensure rock-solid tuning stability and facilitate rapid string changes. All hardware is finished in polished chrome, complementing the high-gloss body finish and ensuring long-term corrosion resistance.
