Frequently Asked Questions
The Wizard-8 is thinner and flatter than most standard Wizard necks, optimized for the longer scale and 8-string layout – expect a very fast feel.
While they *can* produce clean tones, the Fusion Edge 8s are designed for high-gain applications, so clean sounds will be less nuanced and potentially a bit harsh.
A 430 mm radius is a fairly standard choice for Ibanez, offering a balance of comfortable playability and string bending ease.
