Title: Ibanez Wizard Neck
Post by: Matt77 on January 04, 2009, 02:06:26 PM

Just a quick one.
Anyone got any idea what an Ibanez Wizard 1 neck is worth? 22 frets with no cracks

Is it the square heel?  Maple 'board or rosewood?  Headstock colour?  Comes with hardware or not?  All these will affect the price.

If it's a square heel one with a maple board I'd be interested in buying it if you're selling  :)

A Wizard I is the top-dog neck, it is thinner than the Wizard necks on Prestiges. That information itself is skeptical though.

sorry rather too quick with my first post :)

full info: black headstock, 22 fret square heel, rosewood board on 1 piece maple.
hardware: original tuners, locking nut, spare shims.
Jumbo frets, but it's been re-fretted recently by Cottam Guitars and it appears to be a decent job.
It's one of the last ones assembled at the Bensalem factory around 1990 so it also has the Bensalem plate and 4 neck bolts. It's the last year before they changed the heel to the all access neck joint.

I'm 50/50 about selling it as it all depends on a new project I'm pondering.

I reckon it's worth around £100 if the neck is straight with no warping and there are no locking nut cracks on the back.  Price goes downwards if there are issues.

Let me know if you're selling, I'd take it off you.
