School me on the Ibanez RG

Re: School me on the Ibanez RG

Mine is an RG-120, yes I know the entry model.100_4773.jpg
Picked it up for less than a bill a few years back. It has since had a Mayhem set in Triple Shots installed, .047 Orange Drop cap installed. Recently switched the bridge to a TB-15 and put a RCA4 into the SH-6n. Oh and TusqXL string saddles and nut. Put 5 springs on the trem and run Cobalt Skinny top/Heavy bottoms. I bough it for the 24 fret neck that I couldn't have bought by itself for less than a bill. Now, if I could just find a mahogany or basswood body for it...

I wasn't a fan of the Wizard III it's too round on the back. If I didn't have guitars with premium & Wizard II necks I probably wouldn't notice but it just feels wrong for an Ibanez IMHO. It's closer in feel to my Jackson DKMGT than it is to my other Ibanez

The funny part is that the Wizard Premium neck is nearly identical to those of the new Charvel Pro Mods.

Maybe a bit thicker, I'm not sure, but I remember that the profile is similar.

That one hasn't got a wizard neck right? I sort of have the GRG170 lying around back home, it's definitely got a fatter neck than the Wizard on my JEM.

*edit* Never mind I looked it up and its got a Wizard II.

I find the Wizard to be the flattest neck I've ever played, even flatter than the thin-U's on ESP/LTD's and D-shapes on the Jackson, the latter two being slightly rounder IME.

I've got an older MIJ Pro-Mod, and the neck supposedly identical to the new MIM ones. Mine's got a a still slim thin-C profile neck, and its definitely rounder and more substantial than the Wizard III neck, and IMO much more comfortable to play on.

Until you said so, I wasn't sure of which neck it had, only that I liked it. Thank you, now I know for certain.
