HetMasteen Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 i think i'ts a "super wizard"- i'ts the standard on these guitars (i think) i'll post some pics later. is there a way to order it from the factory direct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litchfield Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I just noticed that it is a RG neck. Contact LGM Guitars, or Brian. Ebay has wizard necks all the time, there's 2 types, make sure which yours is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar1Jesse Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 if you want to spend the money on a brand new one, Ibanez will send you one if you send in the broken neck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarfrenzy Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 How bad is it broken? I ended up fixing a crack on a friends guitar recently, it wasn't easy, but was worth the effort. Brian has a great tutorial (check the main site's tutorials) on how to do this if your interested. You basically have no room to insert enough glue in a small crack to hold for any length of time, so your probably gonna have to do what I did. You can see the crack is small but needs to be fixed since the guitar won't stay in tune and buzzes all over now. You can heat it up with iron and damp cloth to get the fretboard loose like below. You'll have to take the truss rod nut completely off though so the headstock can come off easier. I even got the chance to measure the width of their truss rod. Also noticed that they used foam behind their truss rods to keep the rattle down. Then just align it back up and glue it with some good Titebond glue and clamps. Read Brains tutorial it's great...

HetMasteen Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ill post some pics tomorrow.. i talked with the primo guitar guru in Israel and he said hell take a look at it. he said that if he cant glue it ill need to replace- but he cant get an original ibanez- i said "as long as its good quality, i dont care" since theres hardly anything original left in this guitar as it is- new pups, new paint job- its slowly becoming a custom instrument.

ShreddyKrueger Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 you could probably get a new one from warmoth.com. they make a quality neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
