Flame maple top comparison between a j.custom saber(left - loving that real ivory binding) and a prestige saber(right).

The j.custom has a 3/4" thk maple slab while the prestige has a veneer(yung sa egen18 sadly, veneer din). Kaya siguro mas mahal j.custom. Anyway, in terms of tone. Brighter yung j.custom(expected due to maple thickness) and on the dark side yung prestige. Both are great. Sa back nagtipid haha, 3pc african mahogany yung sa j.custom at yung sa prestige, surprisingly, 1pc pero di ko alam kung san galing. Weirdly, mas may sustain yung j.custom.

Playability wise, mas trip ko yung j.custom. Thin but no pointy shoulders plus yung velvetouch at rounded frets(imo, newer prestige may ganito na). Swak na swak sa hinahanap ko.

Quality wise, same lang.

Hardware, same lang.

Electronics, mas maganda ginamit na pots, caps and wires sa j.custom.

Conclusion: J.custom = Glorified prestige.

Rem, is it worth getting the J Custom or possible bang mahabol ng Prestige yung tunog ng J Custom?

Imo, posible. With the right upgrades. May mga fancy useless parts lang yung j.custom like nung ivory binding at yung tree of life inlays. Though mas sleek ang carve ng heel ng j.custom(though same screws lang imo) which adds comfort sa upper registry ng fretboard(though comfortable naman na sa access ang aanj ng prestige). Mas bright lang talaga yung j.custom dahil sa kapal nung maple. Half mahogany half maple e. Nahabol lang nung pagkadark ng airnorton at tonezone kaya nag balance, though sa 2nd, mid at 4th position, strat-like bright na. Which nakabawas ng strat gas ko. Haha! Sa feel naman, sand to satin mo lang yung neck ng prestige. Habol na. Though mas broad yung shoulders ng prestige(depende naman sa player preference kung trip nila ganito). Cosmetics lang ata talaga ang lamang. Though weird lang kasi mas may sustain yung j.custom. Same lang naman sila na naka zr-2. Satisfying talaga yung sustain at maganda yung resonance unplugged(yung sa prestige oks din). Papainstallan ko pa tong j.custom ng neck inserts kay kevs baka mas dumagdag pa sustain at mahabol yung sa lp ko. Kung hindi man, oh well. At least, mas oks connection ng body sa neck.

Ang alam kong stock niya ay Super58 na MIK. Kaso nung nakuha ko siya dati, napalitan na. Hindi ko na naabutan na naka Super58 siya. Eto nilagyan ko ng magical Burstbucker1&2 galing kay Jents.

Wala sa akin bro. No funds ako nung inoffer niya pati wala ako paglalagyan. Tapos nag-iba ihip ng hangin, biglang bumalik itong AR300. Dito ko nilagay yung Burstbuckers, kinuha ko muna dun sa Greco.

May inaawitan ako ngayon na pickups para dun sa Greco. Sana matuloy.

You need a Super Switch for that wiring. AFAIK, di yan kaya ng YM-50 switch na stock sa Ibanez. Check the two links, couple it with the color code.

Hindi naman. Babalik din sa normal pag nirestring mo ng same gauge at same tuning.

Posible nga yan sir na magkaroon ng dead notes sa earlier frets kung nagpalit kayo ng lower gauge.

Kasi kung nung naka gauge 10 kayo ay straight na straight ang neck, nung pinalitan niyo ng gauge 9, posible na nag "overbow" konti yung neck. Konti lang, pero enough para sumabit yung strings dun sa earlier part ng neck.

Ang solution na pwedeng gawin ay luwagan konting konti lang yung truss rod para maibalik sa dating straightness.

Pero wait, gauge 10 at gauge 9 sa acoustic? Parang sobrang light na nun sir?

monmon.plaza · « **Reply #18724 on:** July 22, 2014, 09:54:08 AM »

Mas madadalian kasi ako sa bending pg maliit yun gauge, kulang pa sa kalyo ang daliri ko.. hehehe. Sir anu bang ideal na gauge sa acoustic and brand na ok..
