Bless the Gods! Ibanez has brought back the 17mm necks from the original WIZARD and and made them available on what looks like a reissue of the much loved RG570. Also, they have a swath of MAPLE neck/fretboard combos which is great to see
These are not everyone's cup of tea to be sure, but I gotta say I"m way in it I hope to see some of these in music stores and I'm stoked to see how they play. http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eg_page...&color=CL01 |

Excellent, and with maple fretboards! If only they could ship these with real dimarzios this would be a nobrainer for me! (In GAS-heaven that is)

Btw I wonder if it's possible to do any scalloping on these kinds of thin necks without risking to break them..?

Too thin for me, I find my American Std Tele too thing, I like my Tyler's neck. What is the thickest neck Ibanez does for the RG series?

Too thin for me, I find my American Std Tele too thing, I like my Tyler's neck. The original wizard was extremely thin, and I don't have such guitar. I would like to have one though - because it allows you to do some stuff not possible with a thicker neck. Extreme arpeggios/stretching licks etc spring to mind. Of course the opposite is also true, that kind of neck does not work well for some types of bluesier/Hendrixy stuff. Btw it seems several RG models have the "new" Super Wizard HP Neck. I really like this one as well: http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eg_page...&color=CL01 |

About 19mm at the nut is as big as the 6 string goes on the IBBY
Too thin for me, I find my American Std Tele too thing, I like my Tyler's neck. What is the thickest neck Ibanez does for the RG series? BINGO!!!!! The "Super Wizard HP" is a throwback to the original WIZARD and is 17mm at the nut which is amazingly thin. If you get the chance, give one a try!!! My old RG is still my fave guitar, just for the neck Here is a shot of my RG next to a HAMER SLAMMER. The Hamer also has a very thin neck and you can find them for a few hundred bux on ebay in decent shape. I liked the Hamer But I still prefer the RG. Todd The original wizard was extremely thin, and I don't have such guitar.
