I hear alot about how fast and smooth the Ibanez necks play out, but what makes them so special? Is it the wood that makes them smooth, say Maple verse Rosewood? Is the fretboard curved or flat? Are the frets smoother, higher or lower to the board, etc? What makes it smoother than another guitar? Does anyone have an Ibanez and another make of guitar who can honestly tell me if they feel that difference?

I have a Jem - the radius of the neck is lower, and the width of the neck in your hand is a lot flatter, making it easier to grip and move around, its a big difference compared to my Strat.
