The Wizard II neck is a 3 piece neck.

Maybe its the 3-piece that you heard.... I havent heard of a wizard 3 neck.

I have an RG prestige, and I like a lot, but I thought this had a Wizard II neck, now I am confused

Is there any mention of a wizard III at the ibanez site?

I have an RG prestige, I really like the neck on it, its ultra thin, wasnt sure at first but its the most comfortable guitar to play, I`ll definatly be on the hunt for another one smile.gif

A guy I used to know said playing an Ibanez was like playing a ruler.

yea i get where he`s coming from, its definatly the thinnest neck I`ve ever played, so comfortable though, my Jackson neck seems huge in comparison and thats a pretty thin neck

I never heard about Wizard III neck. Perhaps somebody mistaken it with Wizard 3 piece neck.

I have a Wizard II neck on my Ibanez S320. It's really flat and thin. I hate it tongue.gif

Do you prefer your RG to the Custom you just got!?

It could be a misnomer for the current prestige wizard neck, which is slightly thicker and wider than the org. wizard.

Its kind of like sitting on one of those wooden benches you see at schools versus a nice couch smile.gif

ibanez prestige guitars come with super wizards necks, which are basically the same as the old wizard necks ibanez fixed on the old rg570/550s.

here is an overview of all neck types:

Good question! smile.gif

The answer is a yes and a no laugh.gif
Mirza is currently making me a new "thinner" neck for my custom, I love the feel of the custom over the RG but the neck doesnt suit me at the moment, I prefer a thinner neck smile.gif so once that is sorted out I`m pretty sure it`ll only be my custom that I use (at home anyways, I couldnt risk damaging it at band practice laugh.gif)

I bought the RG to use and abuse and I`m really impressed with it
