Wizard necks Vs. Jackson necks.

[6_string_master]

Overall, in an unbiased opinion, do you like the feel of the Ibanez Wizard necks or the Jackson necks. I haven't tried alot of Ibanez guitars out, but from what I have played I personally like my DK2's neck better.

While Jackson Dinky necks are thin, the Ibanez Wizard necks are just a little too thin for my tastes.

I don't know each one's exact dimensions, but the Ibanez Wizard neck is thinner. I like both of them, but would choose the Jackson neck if I had a pick.

[wicked_lester]

I like 'em both. I have a couple of Ibanez guitars with the Wizard neck and a DK-2. If I had to pick I'd say I prefer the DK-2's neck thickness. I like the extra bit of tone you get from a thicker neck.

I like 'em both too. I have a cheappy Ibanez DT200 Destroyer, but it has the wizard neck profile (they did that for only one year on the first run).

I've owned a slew of USA and Japanese Jacksons as well, and above all, love the KV/Soloist/Warrior profile the best. The RR profile is a bit meatier, and my tastes fall towards thinner necks.

While I prefer the thinner Fusion shedder necks, I have to agree that my bone-stock DK-2 has a surprisingly fabulous tone, even with the cheap Duncan Designed pickups.

I never had an Ibanez.

i cant get used to any ibanez necks. had a wizard 7 neck, wizard 2, standard wizard. they are all way too thin for my hands and make them cramp up

[zeegler]

The thin necks make my hands cramp too. The thinnest neck I can handle is my RR1.

YEP thats why i sold my SG, & cant own any 60's slim taper necks. jacksons are about as thin as i can play. I have an 86 soloist its really thin front to back but its 1 3/4" wide it takes some getting used to but its great. my bolton jackson is 1 5/8, little bit meatier but i still cant play it very long without some pain.

I love the wizard necks, but i also have small hands, to me i like my necks like my woman, the thinner the better.

So you like anorexics?

You can play their ribs like a xylophone.

[Racerx2k]

I've had plenty of both, but I DO prefer the Jackson necks over the Wizards..

The original wizard profile was too thin, but the wizard 2 is a good feel to me. BTW, if you order a Warmoth neck with the "wizard" profile, you don't get the old style "ultra thin" one, it's more like a wizard 2 (which is almost the same as a DK2 neck).

[QuantumRider]

Not only are the Ibanez necks thinner, but they feel a little "flatter" to me.

I owned an Ibanez RGT220 for a while, couldn't get used to the "flat" neck profile, and got rid of it.

My favorite neck is the one from my 1988 USA Dinky. I've had it on three bodies so far, and whatever guitar has that neck on it gets the most play time.

I like the necks on my Model Series Charvels, too, although they feel just a tad fatter than the aforementioned Dinky neck.
