Prices of JEMs

[Steve_Vai_777]

Hey guys, i wanna buy a JEM as cheap as possible so am wondering what prices have you guys paid for them?

I paid $1675 plus $100 for the case for my VSBL. I paid either $725 or a little more (can't remember) for my DBK from a cool guy here on the forums.

Just check auctions and the selling section of this site often or check Rich's site often as well. Good luck!

Well...you wont be getting a new one I've seen older DY's and such in semi good condition for $ 600- $700 but that's pushin it.

got my FP for a little under 800..
From a second hand store in Japan..
not sure that helps you much!

over $800 for my VBK and $1500 for my new 7VWH w/ a UV1000. the new price hikes are getting outts hand IMHO. quite a few other companies are following suit. Washburn's N4 sig went up over $400 in the past two years - jeesh - at this rate you'll have to mortgage your house to buy new guitars in the coming years!

To me, being in england $800 for a DBK is a steal, but the problem is the customs tax they usually put a nice lump of about $200-300 on it but still thats not too bad! I might lay off gettin one for a while and see if I can maybe sort a deal on this forum and collect it when i go to florida next year !

[Steve_Vai_777]

Also... about the N4 going up IMHO i wouldnt pay $50 for that ugly POS. Hes a good player though.

in the case you're serious about buying a decent JEM, you should be able to pay $1000 or more. In the case you are lucky and find one for less than that, just be careful but don't ignore it.

I dont know if this counts but I paid over a 1000 for my UV7PWH. It was well worth it. I love it.
