Hey Dee Fathom you posting in a RG550 thread


I know man, who would have thunked it!

Yeah though, I think you're right, Jimbo. These necks don't feel bad at all anyway, despite the lack of luxury fret finishing. I've got no sharp edges and the neck feels as good as any of the older RG's I've had.

I'm not sure what the N (or Z) means. Does anyone else know?

For me, no. I haven't played anything else for 20 years. I was instantly comfortable with the 20th neck. They do need to be set up, and I guess the one you played probably wasn't set up with your desired action height.

Re: Replacement 20th RG550 DSY Body....
It's sad to see one of the 20th's parted out already =( I wonder how hard it will be to find a neck to fit that body that's for sale?

The setup was low, i play a lowend Ibanez GRG, prolly just needs some getting used to.

Anyone else catch how the neck pocket route is different from the originals? Makes me wonder if the necks have the fingerboard overhang. --Jason
