Speaking of thin, I briefly owned an orange RG331M. I can not remember whether I strung it .009-042 or .010-046 but, either way, its neck was unstable under the string tension. The person to whom I sold the 331 did not keep it very long either.

Maybe a QC issue?  I haven't heard of other Ibanezs with Wizard necks having stability issues.

Im pretty sure that like a fair few others (yourself inc) that i take note of these types of WTB threads because they are the kind of guitars id buy myself (im on a buying ban atm due to just getting a new puppy in the house!)  so when i saw them pop up they trigger my "oh a guy on FB wanted one of those" brain cells as i recall you yourself were/are still on the look out for an ibby rg550 Genesis
