Hi,

I could be interested in the TB. What neck is it on this one, and what year is it? And what would shipping be to Norway?

SYL · #4 01-07-2007, 07:28 PM

I beleive they are both made in 2005. The necks (and everything else) are the stock versions. They have the Matching headstocks which look amazing and the offset markers. They are amazing to play.

I will let you know soon about norway shipping Cost.

SYL · #5 01-07-2007, 07:35 PM

Shipping to Norway with Hardcase will be US$150 (3-5 Days) with insurance and tracking number.

Hi,

Thank you for the info. What I'd really like to know about the neck is the dimensions. It's a bit hard to find information about these on the net.

Also, what it the serial number?

Cheers,
Trond

Hi Syl,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. Judging by serial numbers they were made in 2004 (I'm no expert though). But anyway: I'LL BE HAPPY TO BUY THE TB!!! I'll send you a PM.

Hi SYL and other interested,

I just found a page with info regarding these guitars: http://jcustom.web.fc2.com/prestige/rg2770fm.htm

According to this page the thicknes of the neck is 17mm at the first fret (same as the original wizard), and 19mm on the 12th fret (1mm thiner than the original wizard WOT). That sounds a bit strange - no?

Anyway, I'm REALLY looking forwards to receiving the TB one

Cheers,
Trond

SYL · #12 01-11-2007, 10:23 PM

Thanks for the info Trond!

Sorry All!

I was going by what I was told so I appreciete the heads up. I am so used to seven's now and they felt so different i didn't bother to check them.

Thanks again Trond

trondulseth · #13 01-12-2007, 05:15 AM

No problem SYL,

I've discussed with someone else a little bit (over at ibanez.com/forum) and we've deceided that despite the info in the neck dimension overview here at Jemsite, the original Wizard was indeed 19mm thick at the 12th fret.

This means that the 2770 has the exact same dimensions as the original Wizard, but with the added Prestige treatement. Awesome!!!

SYL · #14 01-13-2007, 10:25 PM

No one interested?

Any feedback Fellas?

I received the blue one today - and it looks AWESOME. The pictures do not give justice to it. From what I can say these guitars are worth every nickle - and then some. And on top of that they are pretty rare - it's pretty cool to have a guitar very few others have. If I had the money I'd probably buy the other one as well
