It will still have a better neck than a hellraiser

That is a matter of opinion. There are a bunch of people who don't like the Ibanez neck profile. Personally, I think they took the good thing they had (the original Wizard neck), and ruined it by morphing it into a D-shape with really sharp shoulders. Modern Ibanez necks are fatiguing to play. They just cramp my thumb and wrist up.

Granted, I don't like the Hellraiser baseball bat, either. However, the Loomis is skinnier and C-shaped, much like Jackson and ESP, and I bet it will come in under the cost of this RGA7. You know, if it ever actually comes out.

Blackjack>Hellraiser, simply because I'm not that big on EMG.

Honestly, if they do release this, if it's not ungodly expensive, I'll be grabbing one and probably selling my Blackjack.

I'll bet you fifty bucks that if it comes out, it comes out three years from now, and only in black.

Actually my RG's are C shaped and the S7320 I played doesn't have as square a shoulder as the RG7321's I've played. Also the XPT700's I've played are good too. They seemed to have cleaned up their act a bit but I know where you're coming from.

Anyone know why they changed to D shapes?

Except for the stripe down the middle.

If the RGA7 has one of them I will KILL Ibanez!
