Its showdown time! The best custom signature on jemsite!

[RCB]

OK, its time for the voting. Of all the posted guitars in the "Best Custom Signature" thread, I selected the ones that:

1) were finished guitars
2) were praised at least by a couple of fellow jemsiters

For links or pics of the guitars check the original thread (then come an vote!)

As some of the owners/creators posted links instead of pics, I think its definately a good idea to check the links since there youll find very good pics of some of the guitars listed in the poll (that otherwise you ll miss).

What.... no link ot the original thread????

[RCB]

Sorry!

Its done now.

[Tubarão Guitars]

wow!
sorry to say that RCB, but i'm really confused now about the description you did on the pool.

[GilkyBear]

I only needed one description to be clear, custom PGM!!!!!!!!!

I wish you would have waited a little longer before doing the poll. I have 3 really awesome and unique modified custom JEMS I'm finishing up now and would have like to of entered one of those. I actually didn't get to post a picture of the one I thought was the best of mine, RCB chose it himself.

How about this, I think this would be cool......

Instead of this being a one time thing how about doing this monthly? Call it "Best Custom JEM of the month" We should probably figure out some rules and stuff, but I think that would be really cool. As long as it wasn't the same guitars month after month, etc.....

Rule - # 1 I think should be it has at least 4 modifications, for example

Different Pickups
Custom Paint
Different Knobs
Body modifications (i.e monkey grip, lions claw, custom pickup configuration etc.....each one of these would count as a modification)
Custom inlay
A custom made Body would count as a modification as well.

So it wouldn't be hard to have at least 4 modifications.....One example would be a Custom made body, set of non-factory Ibanez pickups, custom paint and knobs.

Or a factory Ibanez body with a monkey grip, lions claw, custom paint and lions claw.......

What do you guys think? We need to come up with some kind of guide lines tho so that people don't enter stock factory guitars with nothing other than a set of green knobs. By requiring there to be at least 4 modifications then ever guitar enetered would be something cool, and not just a guitar someone through some pickups in, or just custom painted, etc....

Something else you did wrong in this swirl is u picked and cose the ones u wanted in. Why wasn't Simons blue swirl put on here, or my spalted maple JEM, or Glens Abalone swirl??? The only way to do this right is every guitar that was in the best custom signture thread in the poll. What about Legacy's IbanED?? I don't understand why you have left out a bunch of good ones, and in my opinion some of the best. Glens Abalone swirl is awesome, why isn't it in here but Richard Fays is? and the IbanED, Turbano's orange and pink swirk, etc etc...

Can u also please explain which swirl the "many colors jem" is? They all have many colors.

[RCB]

SCS I know you have amazing projects, but we need to compare between finished guitars. I chose them according to the feedback they got. We could make another poll a year from now and incorporate the coolest new products and exclude the less voted guitars in this poll.

THe spalted maple jem isnt there because the pics of it showed it wasnt finished or close.

I forgot about the IbanED, you are right there, my mistake.

[PatrickSimsCustomShopUSA]

U need to include the IbanED, 4 of Turbanos completed swirls (Black and Pink one, Yellow and Green one, Pink and Blue one, and Blue and White one), Neinturi's Herc DNA UV swirl and his Purple and Pink UV swirl and his blue and black RG swirl.

Thats 8 completed guitars that are in the other thread that have been left out.

[Sabre]

JPM all the way for me!

[Lefty Robb]

you need to make multiple polls (obviously theres more than 15 guitars) and have a mod sticky them all until the contest is done just to make them stay together. and make the poll public so you can see if someone voted 2 times or more and discount the extra ones in the end.

[moebius]

How about posting pictures in this thread?

[ibanezdiehard]

^^^ just look through the other one it's only 5 pages.

they are all really nice, but i can't go past that custom DNA with the maple finger board

[Flobanez]

Voted.
