It has a 3 piece neck, and the headstock is a totally separate piece of wood than the rest of the neck. It will break alarmingly easily at the third fret if you smack it around.

I have 7 Ibanez guitars, and have only had one broken neck (in shipping - I didn't break it). They aren't weak as such, but are not as strong as a neck machined from a single piece of wood.

Not sure it'll cause you a problem, but thought it was worth a mention as you've said you're not too careful with your kit.... The trem is an Edge III rather than a proper floyd - not sure what tuning stability is like on them...

Whoa... my friend, you have made me sad now... It would mean, if I grab a headstock and wobble it, I could break it real, real easily?? :eek: :(
That is bad. That is real bad. Now I gotta have me a beer and consider things over. Thanks for the warning though. :( Never thought about that side of the coin... Damn. I do batter my guitar a lot... uhm, damn. Now what? And I love the 350 DX... the white one.
