I am hell bent on getting me an Ibanez with a neck that has a profile true to the wizard/super wizard dimensions. In one of the other threads i have been informed that J-customs no longer really come with the dimensions that Ibanez advertises on their website. The neck should be 17mm at the...

Well, I got a great deal on this. I had to sell pretty much everything else to pay for it (I try and work a zero sum game on my guitar hobby) but it's worth it. I used to work at Washburn and had a N4 back then that I liked too, but this one is even better. White stain on Swamp Ash with aged...

Hi, everyone, this is my first post here :) I like the look of these forums! I didn't really know where to post this, as it's not necessarily just about "other 6-string Ibanez" guitars :P I'm looking to buy a guitar in the £1000/$2000 range. I learned on a Yamaha Pacifica 312 and a £50 Peavy...

I just bought a Yamaha Saxamophone for my daughter Lisa ...no, my daughter Aoife ;) , so my early 80's Artist funds are almost gone. I was hoping to get a nice hardtail guitar and I'm now looking at getting a Tele. I had one in the 70's and it was nice, so why not? So, if you wanted a maple...

I'm embarking on my first project and through a mixture of naivety and simple bloody stupidness have come upon my first hurdle.. I bought a cheapo body off the bay which it seems is either an RG220 or 320 - the seller wasn't sure but since it's routed for two humbuckers I was happy enough with...

I need some help here picking out a guitar here guys. Basically what im looking for is a RG prestige (or atleast something without one of the crap ibanez trems, which makes older rg's an option) that is HSH. Some things that i would prefer is a maple fretboard, flame top, or a pickguard (not...

While at GC today, I played a $2099 Suhr Tele. Then playd a $149 Squire Tele. The diffenece? A whole bunch of money. That's it. The tone was a little different. But not $1800 different. Not even different enough for the average person to notice. And get this. The Squire was set up and...

I have 2 RG 470s and a 570 on the way. I'd like to try a maple fingerboard, and I notice those are scarce. What are my best options? Will a 550 neck work with/out significant mods? I see 550s with maple f/boards. I did a search herein and saw some mention of having a luthier take a rosewood...

Would a RG750 neck work on an RG550 body? And vice versa? thanks

Hey guys, I was wondering if you have ever played them or seen any custom guitar luthiers that make them. I just recently learned about the wonders of Greg Howe's fusion playing and when I saw this guitar I knew I had to have it hah

I just saw the video posted on the Paul Gilbert Reverse Icemans thread where PG praises his custom Reverse Icemans and a newly designed PGM301 for having thicker necks (Reverse Icemans) and a thick, old-school block neck joint (PGM301). Why? Because these thicker parts supposedly give thicker...

I'd like to get some opinions on this. I've owned at least 20-25 Ibanez guitars over the years. Mostly RG models but I also had a JEM and a JPM model for a while. Now I realize that Team J Craft is a specialized group of Ibanez's most experienced builders and the VAST majority of their guitars...

Thinking of getting a UV (old ones) and have a few questions regarding them. 1) I have heard the frets are smaller on these compared to say the RG7/K7 series which I have owned in the past. Is the difference really that big? Are the smaller frets noticeable? Is it a down fall for someone who...
