Hi,

I have the opportunity to buy an RG 507 year 95' and it very looks like the 570. Does anyone can tell me wich one is the best between those two good guitars. i already have a 550LTD so wich one would be very similar ?
Are the 507 and 570 only different by there Floyd Rose or is there any difference about the neck size.

Thanks for your answers friends.

The 570 should have a Wizard profile, whilst the 507 should have a Wizard 2 profile, slightlly thicker with a rounder fretboard. The 507 should have the original edge as well.

Both are Japanese made, so really it's personal preference. the 507 came in some fantastic finishes as well. (and black too )

The 570 are a better guitar, it has a better built neck (there are a noticeable difference).
The 507 has a neck from a 4xx series guitar.

nope magus, i had 3 507 and 5 570's and the only difference is in the name.all had edge bridges and v pickups,507 are aan and a few 570 square heels.
you cant go wrong.

Okay, maybe different depending on what country they have been sold (but I don't think so).

I still say that the necks are different, low series on 507 and high on 570 (different truss-rods ,for example).

I had a 570 and currently own and play a 507, they basically are the same guitars. And I didn't notice a difference in quality between their necks. In fact my neck has "550" stamped on its heel, so there you go mag it's a 550 neck certainly not from a 4xx series. Why would they put a non japanese made neck on a japanese guitar anyway...

The 507 is a very nice guitar, the only thing you might consider changing is the pickups, everything else is high quality.

Okay, if you say so, then I'm wrong.
I don't have a 507 at home right now but I will have a look into it.

On all most all below 550 series guitar I have looked at have the neck been 4 series and the body 5 series.

Did you say that because you read it on the 507 neck (if you get it off) ? you mean it's printed on the neck where the aanj is srew on ? because i notice it on my rg7420 : i get off the rg7420 neck, and it's printed rg 7620 !!!

the seller proposed me 250 euros for his rg 507 ametist blue and it's in great condition . but you guys are positive when you said it's the original Edge which come with it ? you definitly say the 550 neck is better than the 507 neck (because thinner)?

thanks for your answers.

there are his pictures : your opinions ?

Yes it's equipped with an edge. And again, the 507 has the same neck as a 550. It seems to be in good condition and the the price is real nice, so if you like the color go for it.

I say it out of experience from alot of guitars like it.
The 505 are for sure 4 series necks (I have one in my hand now).

Look into it, when did Ibanez do Wizard II 550 necks? Never.
Where do you find Wizard II necks? On low level Ibanez.

Maybe Professor Jones has a 507 with a changed neck?
It should be easy to feel the difference between a Wizard II and Super Wizard.

I was wrong, they did Wizard II 550.

But I still think the 507 are a 4 series neck, but we will never get anywhere with the discussion about it, so lets just drop it, hug and make love.
