    Hey all, I have a mint 1991 RG550 so there is no wear on the maple fretboard. However the frets could really use a polish and I usually use Gorgomyte cloth. Don't really need to do the whole board, just the frets. Never had another maple fretboard. Is there a protective finish on here...

    Hey, Just recently joined the forums so I'm totally new here, but was recommended by a friend that this is the place to go for all things Ibanez! Yesterday, I got my hands on a 20th anniversary RG550 in DY. Very happy with the guitar, completely surpassed my expectations and it's in great...

    I'd have purchased an RG550XH already if it had a maple fretboard (my favorite). I really like the concept of the guitar. As it is, with rosewood fretboard material, I'll wait for it on the used market.

    Hey Jemsite, I have a quick, easy-to-respond-to post. I was just surfing Vai's website on the tour dates page and looked at the guitar Vai was holding. After a quick double take I realized he was holding a White Jem with the Tree of Life inlay with a maple fretboard. Am I the only one who hasn't...

    Hello everyone! I'm looking for an Ibanez RG neck, would be great if it was made in Indonesia, 24 frets of course, with a MAPLE fretboard, black or natural headstock. I want to install one in my S series (indonesian 24 fret version) since there were no maple fretboards in these. If anyone has...
