i like maple. it's very hard and the sound it brings is real clear and sharp, compared to rosewood. but i like rosewood for the softer touch and feeling.

i would want to own an RG with a maple fretboard though...

 

[neuro182]

im pretty happy with my RG now + i got a Strat with maple fretboard. sweet!

 

[thailoverboy]

yucky lacquer.

hey, i like laquered fingerboards.... :lol: jk, to each his or her own preferences, but i find unlaquered fingerboards quite rough, and they dont have that vintage vibe

 

[tany]

i like lacquered maple also. i think it's smoother to play with and move around.

 

[shreddedsweeper]

look abit like jackson dk2m. preferred the jackson looks although, dun flame me, ibanez and aanj lover :lol:

 

[johnny_be_goode]

The Jackson Dinky is a better choice compare to the Korean Maple RG, if only its a Japan Maple RG, now Prestige. :?

do not demerit an instrument too much with regards to its country of origin...

lacquer, especially the 1cm thick type they used to put on Ibanez really sucks...yur fingers stick to it.. I hope they use a thinner lacquer these days.

 

[neuro182]

i prefer my maple neck w/ rosewood fretboard..

 

[johnny_be_goode]

Not demerit-ting base on origin, just that Korean RG's tremolo system is not as good compare to the Japan ones, the Japan Jackson has better electronics - Seymour Duncan pickups ++. Some manufacturers differentiate their product by country. That's how it is?

 

[subversion]

they designate the production venues based on the economics of production for a particular model.

eh, not realli true for some Korean pieces e.g. my RG350DX which utilizes the Edge III floating trem.. i find it to be relatively more stable than the models with Lo-TRS or ILT1 trems.. even the old RG470 is using the Lo-TRS II floating trem & its a Japanese model :lol:
