IMO the difference between the Wizard II and Wizard is vast, especially on the newer MIK S bodies that Ibanez churn out of their factories.

Not only is the Wizard II a different shape, the fretboard is a different radius to the ZR and makes it harder to achieve super low action without buzzing, of course this only affects the S series.

Another point; the RG Wizard II necks are different to the S body WII necks. On the MIK S the WII feels like a slightly flattened baseball bat, where as on the RG it's not too bad.

...just my 2 pennies.
