Re: I GOT A JEM!!!


how much did you pay for it, Its cosmetically not too bad for a chibanez, but of course that isnt saying much

If I saw it from a distance Id have to have a closer look to tell if it was fake (if the bar was off).

Re: I GOT A JEM!!!


ok. i know the value of money. i kno how hard it is to make money and get a job nowadays, the neck was s**t anyways. bent more then an elephent statues trunk. the body is still good. ill either find a neck for it or it will sit. collect dust like a chibanez should. maybe take out the pickups, the trem and anything else and redo it. is it possible to refill the monkey grip. would it take a long time. i might just make it into a rg looking guitar. ill even change the pickgaurd on it. but for now it sits. so dont think that i dont know the value of money. for a 15 year old. its hard enough to hold on to 50 bucks. let alone 5 dollars. without spending it.

Id just throw it out, but then again I wouldnt have bought it in the first place.

The body isn't as grossly obvious as most i agree,but the whole trem is an instant give-away.And the pickguard fit is err......shabby to say the least

Congratz on the BRMR dude, have fun

I said from a distance , as in if I glanced it from the other end of a large music shop id probably wouldnt think to much of it.

You dont have to tell me what the signs are.

ah, i remember that fateful day at school last year. Katrina runs up to me, "OMG! Ethan has a Jem!!!"

naturally i sh** my pants and ran around the corner.

He opens the case, and all of a sudden, i felt the need for viagra.

" I hate to burst your bubble man, but this isn't a real jem."

man, the reaction was priceless.

but it still sucks that you wound up with that.

but then again, you do have a real one now.

Re: I GOT A JEM!!!


You're one lucky kid, parents buying you a Jem BRMR...

I know I had to work my ass off for a used UV which I bought for $1200 less than your BRMR was brand new...I don't even want to think about saving up TWICE that amount..

I hope to never hear you complaining about what your sister ever again, okay?

haha

You kids in Vegas have it damn lucky. Three of you all from the same school all have bought Jem's and UV's brand new. Whether or not your parents bought it for all of you though I don't know. Maybe a few worked hard like I did.
