HNGD!

congrats. It sounds like a good idea to buy a beater for your situation. It should feel very similar to your other Ibanez.

it should, but there are distinct differences. the cutaway is completely different because of the sculpted neck heel. also, the neck profile does feel a bit different in shape, despite being described as a "Wizard II", which is what's on my '93. but it is a reasonable alternative, and that's what i was looking for. i mean, it's no PRS, but what is?
 
i took it to band practice last night. tone notwithstanding (i was plugged into a JCM2000, ugh), it plays as expected. a little on the light side and the neck has almost an asymmetric carve, even though it's supposed to be a Wizard II. it's a decent substitute considering the price. which is exactly what it was supposed to be.
 
high frets knocked down. shim is still in there, but it's ok for now. i may still have to take down a fret further, but the "twinging" is gone. plays pretty well for a POS.
 
You're all wrong. It stands for "Roadstar Galactica". That particular Battlestar was destroyed at drydock during the Cylon invasion of Tauron.
