R.I.P. John Carter. Kayla: Check out this number 1-800-906-3999 for the Cancer treatment Centers of America. Maybe Gram could get some help from them. They do good work like St. Judes for children. I just hope it'll help some. Going to see older bro soon and I'm getting my job back at Target soon too> Whoo Hoo! I might miss the Album roll out for TLB. I'll send them a e-mail if I can't make it. {Break a leg Joe on your show here in the bay area!}

RIP John Carter. Sorry for your loss Master Joe.
I am having a great somewhat day. Just got my JS100 in. I hafta say the guitar is just awesome!! When we took out of the box, the first thing, the guitar manager and myself said was,,,WOW!!! The internet doesnt make it look as great as it really is up front. The curves, angles etc, is just stunning. And since the JS100 is the cheapest model of the series, I can only imagine what the others look like.
Anyway, I do have a problem with it though. After looking at it, another customer in the store bumped into it and knocked it over by accident. Between him and I, I dont know who was ready to cry first. Still in plastic etc.
It seemed ok, but once I brought it home I noticed a few things. Going to bring it back tomorrow and have em look it over. If I look at it real close, it looks like the neck may have moved a fraction. I can tell from looking at the side view. Plus there is a small fraction of a gap there too.
Still a sharp looking guitar. Says "Joe Satriani" at the 21 fret LOL :) Didnt see that either on the internet.
But I do have a question for everyone. I want to replace the JS100 neck with a 24 fret neck, WHICH, only comes with the JS2400 series. Are these 2 necks compatible??
Dave
PS: And where can I get this? didnt see it on the Ibanez site.

DavidFord - I have a feeling you can't just throw a 24 fret neck on a 22, something to do with scale length? There are way more competent and technical guys on here - someone will chime in, or go and post/read over at jemsite
HNG day though, shame about the bump

JOE: Sorry to hear of Carter' passing away, I didn't know how much he has influenced..he will me missed....
Kayla: Godspeed to your Grandma, our prayers are with you and yours....
Ibanezplyr: Happy to see the good vibes are working for ya bro, and great news on work again!
DavidFord: I wouldn't worry about the neck gap too much.... That is normal as you get the luck of the draw when you buy a guitar..some have a gap, some don't, but if it is not out of limits, it passes QA. Now if a PRS or other hand made model has a gap, the luthier would be fired, lol.... Good luck, and btw, I'm originally from Medfa ;-)
Yup, gotta love OZZY, lol, thx. for that michelle, the man is a genius & legend!

Putting a 22 on a 24.... has to do with the harmonics and construction of the body with the neck. Deal with what you have... what are the chances of hitting that note on the 24th fret?

Michelle- Thanks for asking about dad ..he is doing okay but he still has not had the arm removed yet. The Dr.s keep telling him its his best chance but he keeps delaying the decision. Maybe that is him making his decision....anyway time will tell.
Also your new kitten Loki is very cute.. :-)
Kayla- Thoughts and prayers for your gramma.
Kinda sad today ....our golden retriever TEN got really sick and had to have an operation yesterday..vets not sure if she's gonna make it . She has been a devoted pet...and a member of our family for several years.
JOE-Condolences on the loss of your friend Carter. Condolences to Sammy also ..sounds like they had a long and enduring friendship.......

Dave Ford: You can't change the neck from a 22 fret to a 24 fret as the neck is father forward. The pick-ups are in diferent places not leaving room for a longer 24 fret neck. The intonation would be way off if you did, unles you removed the pick-up and routed out for the neck to be in tune. Note too, that the 24 fretters bridge/trem is father forward also. Good luck. Keep in mind all those harmonics are still here on a 22, just not fretted. You get a deeper/fatter sound out of the frount/fretboard pick-up that way.

Peace Lily: Thanks or the update on your Dad, I hope whatever decision he makes it will be the best one for him. In my case, I'm just glad I was able to get in touch with my Dad before he passed, as I hadn't heard from him in over 20 yrs. Our thoughts are with you..Godspeed....
GoldenGirl2: Thats the spirit, never give up! :-)
