More maple necks please!

I just don't get this. Judging by the prices I see on replacement necks, maple is as cheap or cheaper than rosewood. But as far as I can tell, Ibanez doesn't offer it at all. They even got rid of the J-custom with the maple fretboard. 
Is it because it needs to be finished?
I don't think Ibanez uses ebony anymore either. Bleh.

Yeah I don't understand why you don't see at least a few models with the option of buying a maple neck. I was looking through the available models on ***************.com looking for a maple neck model and to my suprise there were none!
Duh. How did I forget about the PGM?btangel said:PGM301 has a maple neck. I'd love to get my hands on one of these.
I would get one of those in a heartbeat if they used *anything* other than basswood for the body. Well, maybe not anything.

I played one of these the other day and was amazed at the overall setup and playability. The frets were great. what dunlop version are these? Anyway back on topic I wish ibanez had made a birdseye maple neck. I would bet that one of the new Rg archtops would look great with a birdseye maple neck, rosewood headstock overlay, and light blue flame maple top. It would be very much like a wolfgang. Does anyone know if their are any plans to offer the rga with a floyd in the future?moro said:Duh. How did I forget about the PGM?
Is it just me or is anyone else bothered when people constantly refer to fretboards as 'necks'.
Nearly all Ibanez bolt-on neck guitars have maple necks, some with maple 'fretboards' and some with rosewood 'fretboards' (and even some with ebony 'fretboards').
Come on people, get it right!

Other than the PGM's there aren't any....I miss the good ole RG550...even if they added a maple finger board option to the RG 350's I'd be happy right now

It would have to be a 7-string neck.
I already knew about the PGM but I don't count it because I would never want to own a PGM. It looks too.....not me....kind of like a JEM. And after playing a JEM, I'd have to say that I'm more a fan of the prestige RGs. I got to play some of those on friday and I just love the Prestige wizard necks.
