This is a one-of-a-kind Los Angeles Custom Shop RG built for Jani Liimatainen (formerly of Sonata Arctica). I'm one of his (and, even more so, Sonata Arctica's) biggest fans, and so finding this guitar was a surreal experience. However, I haven't played it much in the better part of two years, and so I figured I would list it to see if any other SA fans, or Ibanez LACS collectors would be interested in it. Yes, the price is indeed steep, but this isn't the most expensive LACS ever sold used, and its a piece of music history as far as I'm concerned. Some of the best power metal albums (namely, "Reckoning Night" and "Unia") were recorded with this guitar, and it's been toured extensively by Jani, which I believe has infused it with the magic and might of the metal gods themselves. So, I won't be upset if it never leaves me - aside from having a lot of personal meaning, it's an absolutely excellent guitar in every way.



I'm willing to replace it with another guitar(s) of sufficient worth, if a sale isn't possible.



Conditionwise, it has it's share of honest playwear, but is honestly pretty clean overall. No major flaws of any kind, just little stuff here and there. No neck pocket cracks! Amazingly.
