Curious about J Custom Guitars

Good afternoon,

I wanted some feedback and thoughts from you all on J custom guitars. I am US based and have one I can grab locally (RG 8520 GE) for around $2,200. I’ve owned a number of prestige, premium, and normal ibbys. But I’ve never played or owned a J custom.

How are they? Are they worth the price jump? How do we feel about the price of this one? How well do they resell if I absolutely hate it a month from now? Are they truly an upgrade on the player experience or is this more an aesthetic upgrade like getting a ten top PRS? Thanks!

Good afternoon,

I recently picked up an RG470 MIJ in a trade. It has a gotoh 1996 bridge installed in it. However, upon further inspection I’ve realized the bridge isn’t aligned. The high e side catches the cavity if you try and use the trem. It also looks like the bridge is too long for the cavity as a whole. Not sure what to do with this as from what I’ve read it was supposed to be a drop in replacement. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
