As a lover of maple necked Ibanez guitars (they are my super hero weakness - I own 5) and reverse headstocks, I gotta say that's beautiful! Jealousy is not in my nature, but I am envious of that beauty.

very cool, I'm normally not much of an Ibby fan but this one and Dave Wieners' new one could make a convert out of me yet.

Wow, this thing is amazing! :yesway:

BTW Buz, I just started listening to Unearth recently and your music kicks ass. I haven't heard a song that I didn't like. Hope you guys stop by the Bay Area sometime, I'd definitely check it out.

I dunno, I've never been a huge fan of maple boards (the only real exception being on Tele-style guitars). Why are they so lusted after?

Is this like the general fascination with blondes (which I also don't understand)?

I dont know, I guess I might have picked up on it because it's a "fad" but I wanted one before I even saw Dave Weiners newest 7 and Buz's.
It's something I started to want after I first so the Loomis I think. I love ebony, but on some guitars it looks boring so I go for maple which has the similar quality i like ebony for: Not being rosewood.

Because maple fretboards have a slightly 'snappier' and brighter tone. Which helps when using alot of distortion as it helps bring the guitar out more in the mix.

and raw "oiled" maple necks have a feeling all their own.
It's addictive, you can really feel the fret board under your fingers.
To me anyway, it just feels like a more responsive wood.

Maple just has better attack and definition than the other woods - which is why I prefer it.
