@mattier303 Thanks! Regarding the neck, not especially? It isn't original Wizard thin but it's not far from it, either. You can compare measurements on the Ibanez wiki.

God I can't stop looking at this.
How many RGs did Ibanez do with Vintage Violin as their finish? Was it just this and the HSH 6 string? Really fancying getting a RG3120 and getting it refin'd.

@JimF I really couldn't say, though going by the Ibanez wiki there's quite a few.

Some Reverb searching showed that there were a couple of iterations of the vintage violin finish. One with much more brown around the edges. Looked like one of those unplayable accoustic guitars you see on the wall in a restaurant.

@JimF Honestly it's a bit of a mixed bag with how they applied and sanded back the stain. I've seen some beautiful bursts, though some (such as this JCRG7 in particular) have no burst whatsoever:
Also, noticed in the original post/photos you can't see fully into the pickup cavities. During the pickup swap I added some red hockey tape to emulate the same sort of vibe the Charvel Guthrie Govan has going on.

Seriously beautiful guitar. Vintage Violin is honestly one of my favorite finishes of all time. Making me miss my old J Custom! Rock solid guitars.

I think the zero burst is my favourite type. I like how they're all different.
