 | Any Ibanez with ebony fretboards? I don't feel like getting a Schecter (unless it has ebony fretboard and Blackouts) and I love my Ibanez's! Bonus if it has a Mahogany body. |

 | Nope unless you can find one of the old CSTs or an old Jem (which are $1800+ if you can find one). Ibanez sucks at business too much to make any guitars with ebony boards. They must think its not worth it to replace the fretting machine they do have, which smashes the frets down onto board - fine with softer rosewood and maple boards, but not good on stiff and easily cracked ebony ones. _________________________ "Ah, she's built like a steakhouse but she handles like a bistro" - ZB My Soundclick Page |

| I see. I was looking at the Blackjack ATX which has both Blackouts and an Ebony FB but the access kinda scares for me. Are ebony fretboards hard to maintain or something? Last edited by Xtremevillan; 01-13-2008 at 10:57 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

 | An Ibanez endorser I know who had an LACS made for him not too long ago told me Ibanez prefers not to use ebony. He said they believe the quality of ebony out there as of late isn't very good and unstable or something. He basically wanted one and they went out of their way to recommend against it. Doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I mean yeah ebony is prone to cracking and stuff, but it can be avoided. |
