So true. Once you've played an Edge, you wonder what the fuss over Floyds is all about.Edge trems are beyond compare, IMO.

Most definitely... I mean, it is a Floyd Rose licensed design, but I think they perfected it. And the others always look a bit cheap to me nowSo true. Once you've played an Edge, you wonder what the fuss over Floyds is all about.
I am also interested in the recent Woody that Steve commissioned then was released..anybody see the great video about the making of It?? Here 'tis.
They are pretty thin. According to this link, it is either 19mm at 1st fret, 21mm at 12th fret or 18mm and 20mm.Brad, how is the neck on your Jem?
Is it Fender chunky or is it more like an EBMM Axis in terms of depth of the neck from finger board surface to back of the neck?
Thin and wide. "Ibanezy." Large radius (16", I think). Me likey.Brad, how is the neck on your Jem?

It's a great profile for single-note runs, or anything that benefits from the "classical grip."Cool, thanks guys.
My hands are 60% palm, 40% fingers in terms of proportions, so if the neck is thin enough, I can play a thin wide neck like PRS with no issues.
Some wide thick necks (most Fender Teles & Strats) I would have to play like a Chapman Stick due to my funky hand proportions.
I can see myself checking out a JEM soon. Fingers crossed that the wide factor works for me.
Very similar to my first super strat...the legendary Casio PG-380 , to this day , the only actual midi guitar..onboard cheesy synth tones and a real 5-pin MIDI out jack, but more pertinent to this discussion, it was made in the same Ibanez factory in Japan as the earliest Jems and Sabres from 87-89, and the neck is absolutely in the Wizard /Jem category. .and a really sweet SSH form. .Thin and wide.

The first time I picked up a Wizard neck, my first reaction was, "Ooh, this is nice!" I hope you have the same good luck.

I got this Team J-Craft -built baby from Reverb several months ago, but it arrived setup horribly and was virtually unplayable..I left it for the season with my friends from Chicago Music Exchange (parent company of Reverb) to see what they could do..picked it up yesterday and after a proper setup it is easily one of the easiest playing and sonically solid of my collection..Im shocked how noiseless the pickups are and the whammy is Vai-worthy indeed (If only my chops were...). ..now my mission is finding some tasty Legacy 2x12 IRs ..ironically, @PerChr just posted earlier today that he is no longer sharing the ones he made..anyone else got any suggestions...?(I found my Celestion 2 x12 G12-65 C works pretty nicely with the Legacy amps)
Funny, I was looking at the bridge and thinking "wow, the saddles look just like the Edge saddles" and then I noticed the bridge is stamped GOTOH.Very similar to my first super strat...the legendary Casio PG-380 , to this day , the only actual midi guitar..onboard cheesy synth tones and a real 5-pin MIDI out jack, but more pertinent to this discussion, it was made in the same Ibanez factory in Japan as the earliest Jems and Sabres from 87-89, and the neck is absolutely in the Wizard /Jem category. .and a really sweet SSH form. .
Still got it ,too..
Heres some nice shots of the same one I got back in the day.
