Isn't that what an Ibanez RG535 has? Or do they have the original Wizard necks?

I had a Charvel in the late eighties, was 3 single coils and ye old 6 screw trem, thin neck(bird beak headstock). Traded in my 74 Strat on it mainly because it was a hard tail and the Charvel had the trem.
Never seen another Charvel like that one, not a great marketing success I guess. That's the thing I'm playing there in my avatar pic. 1989

Had crossed my mind, but don't really want to modify any of my existing RG's, I guess I could buy another one :mrgreen:

Because a single coil pickup guitar like that would require some remanence of a decent guitar tone to compliment.

Ibby shred sticks have all the tonal properties of a wet sandwich. Sounds like a horrible combination to use :lol:

Recall Jeff Beck playing just such a guitar. Probably a Jackson.

JB. There's that SSS PRS on TM. Doubt it counts as a shred stick in stylistic terms but I bet you could wang the crap out of it.
