We've seen the Ibanez RG350M before. Nothing special, just a regular RG (there's a cult following elsewhere, mind you...) but the finish is all the attraction. Anyway, a fresh batch of these guitars just arrived at Standard Value & Mike did a splendid set up for one of them (a great set up is Mike's thing, by the way...) so that I could spend some time testing it out but I've tried the RG350M & its other manifestations countless times. Mike insisted this one's different so I gave it a shred attack; true enough, the current consignment of RG350Ms feature a much slimmer neck, it's not even a 'D' profile typical of the Wizard II spec in today's catalogue. What you get is a very rounded feel, very 'C' & shallow, close to yesterday's fabled Super Wizard make. I'm wondering if there's a mistake of sorts here, a mis-match over at the factory but the slimmer, Prestige Japanese necks aren't shipped to Indonesia, yes? Maybe the manufacturer intended it to be this way which is definitely good news to ardent fans.
