I'd really rather just get an S5470 with 24 frets and the ZR trem.

I just bought an S470DXQM and it's VERY nice despite being MIK.

What's wrong with the current S series?

I think some would like to see an anniversary model of the S like they did with the RG.

Depends on which one and who you ask.

Exactly.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Here is a pic that shows the difference in some of the neck profiles.

I want them to bring back the baby Blue FGM model, that one looked so goddamn badass.

Yeah it also explains why I found the current S-models to be playable, the old "wizard" neck profile just made my hand cramp up, way too thin for my taste.

[S-man]

Well...that's the point. It is supposed to be thin.

The whole guitar is thin. A thick neck on a thin guitar is kinda crazy.

I have thick guitars too...

I like both. But when the thin guitar becomes thick it's disturbing.

[thetroy]

The MIK neck is not thick, it's just not original wizard thin.

I don't really care either way since I can play on anything, but the S470DXQM I just got fucking SHREDS.

[finstah]

My Gambale was insanely thin. Made the guitar feel like a toy.

But it only had 22 frets.

[CharvelRocker]

My main issue with the current ones is they've thickened them up over the years, and have the ZR, which I am not crazy about. One of their great strengths was that they were extremely thin. They also had a very classy look to them with the inlays and finishes they used to do. That said, the guitars were not without their flaws; almost overly small necks, fragile neck pockets, and input jacks that screamed "break me!". I liked mine, but the neck was just too small.

[S-man]

For the record...the RG had the same "fragile neck pocket" and "small neck".

Though it had 24 frets.
