Ibanez Custom Shop?

I was looking all over the Ibanez site as well as the jemsite, and ibanezrules site, but I can't seem to find any information about their custom shop (I know ESP and Gibson has one). First of, all, do they even have one? I don't know, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places lol. Well if they do, how much would a standard custom cost? $2000? $3000? $4000?

Thanks

Yeah, they have one, and unfortunately you have to be an endorsee to get an axe out of there, to my knowledge.

What about the "USA Customs"? I've seen 5 or 6 of them @ about $600-700. My brother owned one with the 0 tension neck and it being a 6 string it was pretty sweet but he hated the DiMarzio pickups.

They make special little runs. Drew and I had one of about 24 J-Custom guitars ever made in a special limited run. You don't get to choose what you want. They choose the features and finish, and you are repulsed or scramble like hell to find one.

Depends on the level of endorsement - I'm sure Steve Vai gets all his guitars for free. However, discounted gear is far more common, and some companies (Mesa springs to mind) ONLY do this. I think even Petrucci pays for his Mesas, or merely borrows them.

I'm not sure (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but I think that some time ago Ibanez offered a 'true' custom shop - they would build you one of their guitars with a finish/options/etc that you specified, for a price.
