The Ibanez FR series is a model based on the Fender telecaster. Instead of a fat C shape-ish neck like the telecasters, Ibanez decide to keep with it's tradition of thin wizard neck which they are so famous for. I believe there is even an industry standard to refer thin neck as "Wizard Thin".
Another difference being with the bridge of the FR models, known as the tight end bridge. The FR models used to be only prestige but it would seem that Ibanez wants to break into the mid range market segment this time. Think of it this way, an affordable Telecaster-ish guitar with the attributes of Ibanez. Not a bad idea at all I would say.
