Any Ibanez with ebony fretboards?

HighGain510 · 01-13-2008, 11:54 PM

I have an Ibanez SC1620VV Prestige from 1999 (S-Classic... better than the Saber IMHO

) that has an ebony fretboard with flamed maple binding that is pretty kickass although the neck is too thin for my hands it seems.

That was a regular production model with an ebony fretboard but they are rare as hell!

My 03' Jem has the ebony board, sooo smooth. It's for sale too

Maple all the way :thumbs:

but yeh, get the interceptor then, basically an ibanez, with the shape/bodywood/etc.

Doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I mean yeah ebony is prone to cracking and stuff, but it can be avoided.

Same they told me, that'd they'd recommend a dark rosewood above the ebony for the same reason.

Wow, that's awesome you're a LACS dude, but weird that the ebony nowadays is bad quality. I wonder where Agile gets theirs from?

Very cool guitar. I think the graphic detracts from the simplicity of the layout though but nonetheless, very cool.

I like rosewood fretboards tbh... rosewood and maple, ebony the least (doesn't feel as fast as maple to me yet requires the maintainence of rosewood) am i the only one? ._.

I never had a maple or an ebony. IDK, lol

FortePenance · 01-14-2008, 09:10 AM

Maple. Man, I tried this EBMM Axis 6string today and it was just... so fast. So bright. It was djenty. Yes I am using djent as an adjective just to grate on Zimb's nerves.
