frets n necks

[woodshedx]

Greetings

I've owned Ibanez since 1988, on & off. I've had an RG570, RG560, a Floral JEM (yum!), original Vai JEM in Loch Nes Green or whatever they called it back then, & others. I got out of Ibanez for awhile. But when I saw the RGA series I wanted another one. So I ordered an RGA121 vintage violin finish. (I wanted a PGM301 but couldn't deal with the F-holes) Anyway, I was very disappointed to find not only was the RGA121 neck *not* the same as the original Wizard neck, but the frets were not nearly as big as the ones on my previous RG's & JEMS, too. All this leads to these questions. There's only one Ibz dealer in town & they stock only entry level stuff; no JEMS, no PGMs, so I'm hoping I can get answers here.

1. Does the PGM301 have frets more like the current Ibz or more like a 1988 RG-550?
2. Does anyone know the fret size of those RG's? If I remember correctly my floral JEM had Dunlop 6100s on it. Vai has changed to 6105's these days, I believe, & these are narrower frets which I don't like, personally.
Thanks for any info.

It's actually the same fret wire on the RGA121 as is used on most of the current prestige line up and also the same as the PGM ! The Jems use a different fret wire though, you're right.The colour btw is violin flat (VLF) not vintage violin (VV) which is a gloss sunburst finish.

That surprises me that the PGM301 would use the same frets as the RGA121. Those are so much lower profile; nothing like the RG's of the late 80's. Wonder if Paul Gilbert's models (the ones he *really* uses on stage) are the current style Prestige lower frets or the "old style" big ones? hhhmmmmmm......
Sure hope I can get confirmation on the fret size of those old RG frets.
