Im actually no fan of the Ibanez playability. The neck profile doesn't suit me all that well.

There are different Ibanez necks. Look at this site:
http://www.jemsite.com/jem/necks.htm 17 different profiles! The Jem profile and the profile of my Ibanez feel very different to one of the wizard necks. Inhe can compare easily, I would be interested in his opinion. |

Agreed. The Ibanez neck profiles feel very different to each other, my RG has the typical thin neck and my Xiphos has, suprisingly, quite a thick neck. Both awesome of course.

Interesting! Maybe i would like a Xiphos neck then. Too bad it has the strap issue and i can't get how the fuck do you get under the wing tomake the hole? That has to be pretty hard. I could think myself one but replace the Edge with a Edge Pro or simply block it and ofcourse the tuners with Grover or Schaller.
Well my friends Ibanez RGT42 feels different to a RG 350 so you could have a point. I am a fan of painted necks though...can't stand satin necks.

It's not hard to drill a single hole. And tbh its really only the wizard necks that are noticibley thin.

Yeah but the hole should be in such a tricky place :S
I'd definetly buy one if it didn't have edge 3

Not really. Check where I did it (masking tape) like Muhammad *fanboy*
 and imo the edge 3 is not bad at all, not sure what experiences you've had.

My experiences are solely on my friends RGT42. It's smooth and easy to use but it hasn't kept in tune that well. BTW FOUND SOMETHING REALLY COOL! Now you can make all your pedals true bypass http://www.thomann.de/fi/toadworks_t...bde4f1cd3a0368

You can build it yourself easily for 10 euro's. You need 4 jacks, 1 footswitch and a enclosure. |

Just padded down a vice and locked the wing into position so I could drill directly downward. Be careful though the wood was a lot softer then I initially thought. I used masking tape so I could measure and mark up a cross where I'd aim the drill, and also to prevent the paint flaking. I should really take it off now

Yeah I've seen people do that to; to imitate the strap button positioning on the Jackson Warrior, so I would think that would work well. I only chose to do it the way I did because it's exactly how Muhammad has it, well, that and I was rather reluctant to drill more than I needed to.
Jeeeeez this thread is going sloooow

aw man, that's great. I actually thought we had to change both the strap lock positions. but if just changing the lower one works, then that's great news
 Although, I'm a bit reluctant to do it myself. I should probably take it to a guitar tech.

Okay I just went on the Wiget place, or whatever it's called. I entered the chat room, and there was this kid named J.P, saying he knew CoB and stuff. I just raged and left.
I dislike little kids that think they are kings of the world. (He said he was 12.) |

So from what I understand, both playing ability and overall entertainment level of performance are judged. Do you guys have any ideas on how to make yours interesting, other than simply kicking ass?
