How many have multiples - Jemophrenia

Patrick, you're not the poorest. *I own not a single Jem

But - I 've owned: *7V, 7D (2), FP(2), VDY, LNG (same one x10), DNA, UVPBK, UVMC.

Biggest regret - selling the 7V. *(I am on the hunt for a beat up one, with a lot of "character." ) *This was by far my favorite Jem, sounded and felt the best of them all. *I personally like the Evos over the Breed though.

Today I am happy with the RGs and the S that I have. *(note I say today, but hopefully today will be longer than yesterday)

I'm a little lacking in the Jem department, but that's okay...

I currently have a VWH and a DBK, which I view as the yin & yang of Jems. The VWH is bright & shiny; the DBK looks like an industrial accident. I traded a BSB (never quite got used to it) for the DBK. One of my friends has a JEM90 & a FP, and I'm amazed at the variety of tones available between all the different Jem models (and how different all the necks feel--but they all feel good in their own way).

I also have a UV777BK and am working on a UVMC. In the non-Jem/UV world, I've got more stuff that I really know what to do with (RG-ART, JPM90, JPM-P1, RG6CST, RG1880, RG3120, RG1200, RG570CTAM, USRG30, UCEW, RG7CT, and a few non-Ibanez guitars that I rarely touch).

And some say *I* own too many guitars! LOL

Re-reading this thread, I'm reminded of the expression:

"There's a fine line between hobby and mental illness."

PS--Okay, actually I'm reminded of this every morning when I walk downstairs and see 13 Ibanez headstocks glaring back at me.

That's funny Brent, I count 14 looking for 15?

I've got more than I probably 'should', but I know Butch still has more than me!!

"And that's all I've got ta say bout dat" Forest Gump :biggrin:

Funny you should make that statement about "my" dbk, Brent, because I could never get used to it - but I LOVE "your" BSB! * *Jeez - I was thinking GC really ripped me off on that deal before I traded you! *Anyway, glad you're happy w/ it.

Glad to see that Rich can count better than I can! The 570 hasn't been staring me in the face lately because it's in lots of pieces on the kitchen table, so I tend to forget about it. But it should be back together w/ new pickups & such sometime this week! And, in theory, I should be picking up the UVMC this week, at the expense of saying 'farewell' to the Steinberger.

Chris-- I'm pretty down with "your" DBK. I still never quite figured out why the BSB never clicked with me, but those wonderful Breeds pretty much clicked with me right away.

Keep rockin!

Well,,,Looks like there are some serious "jem heads" in here. *I can only fess up to having one at the time and it is my first Jem ( Vai2K, #14) *So that is a good start. *
I have owned 3 Ibanez before that, the first was the Saber 7 string,,,forget the model number. *The body was to funky looking from above and had to let go of it even though it looked and played amazing. *
I have had a 92 UVGR777 for a short time and freaked out when I saw what it looked like when I had it strapped on and was playing in a Metal band. *I named it "kinko the clown" and sold it the next day. *Deeply regret it now,,,,but then it was not me.
Most recent was a UV777BK,,,,loved her to peices but sold it to get my DNA,,,I will have another one soon.
I want to have S*&t load of these things laying around the house,,,,I want to have so many that I will be able to remove the necks and use them as legs for a table, and would have to get ahold of one of the "root beer" Jems so that I can drill holes in the back and put drums sticks in it so that I can have a end table to set my guinness on while watching discovery specials on body painting!!!! *LOL.....just kidding,,,,don't beat me up.
