Konnichiwa forum!

Forgive me for starting up another topic, But in my desperate search for a PGM301, I've come across some mixed opinions on the 301's neck !

- Basically, I was hoping you guys might be able to enlighten me about this... I've heard that the newer models, with the 3 and 5 piece necks (more so the 2007 and 2008 models) feel 'unfinished' compared to the older ones.

This has worried me, because my love for maple necks is based around necks with a nice finish on them. So If anyone could give me their opinion if they've ever played one, as I haven't had the chance to yet...

Cheers!

Neck preferences are a personal thing. Everyone likes different things.

If any local stores have any prestige level Ibanez models go and play one. The models with wizard prestige neck profiles should be pretty much the same as a 2005 and newer 301. The super wizard prestige profile is slightly thinner.

I don't have a newer 301 so I can't compare it to my other PGM's.

Ah yeah, That's the only problem.. there are absolutely no stores with them in stock anywhere near me!

Hence why I've reverted to researching long and hard and joining forums like this to clue myself up about them before buying off ebay or through ads in forums etc...

Anywho, Thanks for the info!
