Ibanez's Lack of Maple-Fretboard Guitars...

[noodleplugerine]

I voted for maple, although it looks shitee on black guitars, therefore not totaly metal  :twisted:

WOT?!
Nothing says danger quite like Black'n'Yella

Wasn't there a Christian metal bands in the 80s who wore black and yellow? :D

Just a guess on Ibanez's apparent reticence with maple: I'm wondering if this would necessitate  them builduin gtheir pups again from the ground up? I'm again thinking from the angle of Dims sounding (to my ear) fine in the woods they use, yet too tetchy and over-puckered(er, why have I chosen those words I wonder) in proximity to too much toppy-sounding wood.
  They still(again) do an Artist AR300, which is as close as you get nowadays. Very nice I gather(nice pups too); even better with pot/cap upgrade. (I did have a S1540 in bubinga some time ago and I liked the Prestige neck and Quantum pups; flogged it as the trems do me 'ead in :oops:

I love you.

Typing in a glouctershire accent. I think that's the coolest thing I've ever seen. And no - I'm honestly not being sarcastic.
