PerryL Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Have you seen the Jem Knockoffs on Ebay? For only 179 it might be worthwhile project. Ebay Guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorecki Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) I have one of the 350DX's (bedroom wankin stick) and really don't think the stock Ibanez PSND pickups are all that bad. Not saying they're good, but I've had worse for stock by a long shot. Only concerns I would have: 1. Will they fit depth wise, if you can route the body you're fine. 2. These guitars are basswood bodys and I'm not sure if they'll sound as good...but who knows unless ya try. 3. String spacing on the poles may be off a bit because the wizard II necks are so narrow...maybe not enough to worry about. Otherwise I'd get full specs on them first. Could turn out pretty cool sounding. Good luck... Edited September 27, 2004 by Gorecki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 ... the wizard II necks are so narrow... You mean thin, right? The Wizard necks are the same width as a standard modern Fender neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wizard necks are the same width as a standard modern Fender neck. Nope, my perception is the string spacing is more narrow but then again it could simply be the radius difference is what I’m feeling and/or I’m just that sensitive to feel. I've only had mine for a couple of months and it's my first Ibanez. In anycase I wouldn't think the pole spacing will be of enough to worry about.

lovekraft Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yeah, the Ibanez definitely has a larger radius - dunno if the string spacing is different, but they do feel totally different to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
