Re: DBK vs BRMR
Besides the cosmetics? I think the only think different is the neck volute and the neck woods (the DBK was a 3-piece, the BRMR is a 5-piece). Nothing much, really. With that said though, I would pick a BRMR over the DBK if I had the cash.

Re: DBK vs BRMR
I would go with the Tsung-oiled neck on the BRMR.

I think neck size also the BRMR is 19mm-21mm while the DBK was 17mm-19mm

Re: DBK vs BRMR
If it was still in production, the DBK would have the 5 piece / volute neck that has become standard.
Wether it would have the Jem or more Wizard-like profile, i dont know, but other than that? yeah, finish and inlays is all there is to it...

The ~tone~
The BRMR has the best tone of any of the Jem's I've played to date. I know they are both breed equiped, but the tone is like night and day between these two guitars

Re: DBK vs BRMR
i'm hearing that alot Jim. i'd love to have the chance to get a blind test and play both.
the basswood might be a higher grade basswood also. i'm shooting in the dark but i'm giving Ibanez the benefit of the doubt about the price point between them actually being something other than the binding and the top.
either way i am a believer that there is SOMETHING that sets them apart besides the obvious cosmetic reasons.

the cosmetics seem to be the big difference on the spec sheet between them which is why there have been sooooo many threads just like this one.
the interesting point is the owners of the BRMR's who have played both say there is a big difference but i haven't heard from the DBK owners who have played both.
again, i am a believer that there is something between them that makes the BRMR sound better.
i could guess that the more neck mass might add more tone. hmmmm....?
