Yes Todd I am. I didn't think Satch ever had an affinity for the S
 I know Mr Gambale did though  QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Apr 21 2016, 06:57 PM)  -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

HE was a BIG fan of the "Radius" series
They later became the JS series. Ibanez discontinued the Radius series and just started making JS series instead. He did used to own some Sabre series during the development of his own Axe. But this was around 1988 when he was putting bits from different guitars together to try to find "his" own instrument. http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/JS1 The S and R versions of this guitar were all part of the Roadstar Pro Series. They even look alike. http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/540R http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/540S QUOTE (Phil66 @ Apr 21 2016, 02:01 PM) Yes Todd I am. I didn't think Satch ever had an affinity for the S

I've always loved the radius guitars. I always wondered if the JS100 is the well marketed replacement for the normal Radius range and the JS1000 the effective Prestige model. Obviously they now have their other numbers but I'm just using those numbers to keep it short.
Are the JS100 range worth having? Or are they just a marketing thing? Cheers buddy

The100 is sorta the starter version of the 1000. But as with any guitar it just depends on the player. If you play one, and you like it, then sure
In the end it really does come down to that. But as far as build quality/etc. The 100 is not in the same league as 1000 as you can probably tell by the price difference. Still, just because a guitar isn't expensive doesn't always mean it's crap. The 100 was built as a low cost import alternative to the pricier model. The components are not quite as nice and the neck doesn't get the hand finishing that the japan model gets, etc. So yeah, it's just a cheaper version with similar design. More info on it at http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/JS100 and the pricey one @ http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/JS1000 Pretty much the same neck on both, just the pricey one is finished by hand in Japan, where the cheaper one is finished by machine in indonesia or korea. So don't think of it as a replacement for the 1000, more of an intro version. But again it all comes down to you playing them. If you play the 100 and it speaks to you, get it Todd QUOTE (Phil66 @ Apr 22 2016, 01:18 AM) I've always loved the radius guitars.

Thanks Todd,
I think I'd go for a used 1000. They did a hard tail at one point I think. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Apr 21 2016, 03:06 PM) The RG570 was the original model name of that line. It was later changed to 1570. There were two necks used on those. One neck is 1mm thicker than the original wizardon the golden era, it depends on what year it was built. But either way 1mm is really not that big a deal so either way it's a spiff neck Prestige on the headstock now means it was built in japan and has one of the spiff necks similar to the golden era necks. They have started using titanium rods in the necks (HP ULTRA/PRESTIGE WIZARD) to keep the necks from warping like they did on the original guitars.Todd Mine was made in 2009 and has the five piece neck. Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant, Japan 2009 Production Number: 274 Phil BTW, I found this thread while I was trying to find some credence for the thing I read about Ibanez creating the S series when they saw the Squire HMIII -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

My first Ibanez was an Iron Label, I believe. I don't think I had an Ibanez before that. Then after that an RG3570z

I've only owned a couple in my time;
80's Blazer - lotta love for this instrument. Was the first guitar I owned that was actually decent; Blazer Models FGM100 (signed) in Desert Yellow. Big Gambale fan but ultimately didn't dig the neck shape (don't kill me!); FGM100 Happy days.. Si |

I've only had my 1st Ibanez (a 2001 RG770FM) a short while.
Now maybe I'm not too picky about guitars, but it holds its own against my Tyler. Both have great necks even though they are wildly different in dimensions, both extremely playable. The only thing is the pickups, I think I will be on the search to replace the ceramic Quantum pickups in it.
