    Ibanez string spread question

    Hey fellas! I wanted to ask if any of you know the string spread at bridge on the Xyphos Ibi and on the RG 7321 Ibi. My 7 is 65mm at bridge, but i played a 7321 and it seemed to be more spaced. I know the neck is 68mm and 24th fret, but is the string spread also 68mm? Thanks!
