I just got my Jem77BRMR today and I'm so happy.

The mirror top is really cool up close and I really like the neck 5 piece neck too.

It's really light as well. I compared t to my 2003 Jem VWH and it is a tank compared to the new BRMR, but of course the VWH is Alder and the new BRMR is basswood, which is lighter than Alder.

I haven't had a chance to plug it in yet since my Fiance' is sleeping, I'll have to wait.

I was impressed with the factory setup, it's actually pretty good for once.

I also like the new case that comes with it, it's a new Team J-craft case, and even though it's molded plastic, it's still a really nice case and much better than a cardboard box or having to buy a case...even though you do pay for it, I'm glad it came with the case. I like it better than the UV1000 cases I have.

Ibanez even threw in an Ibanez Edge pro trem stopper as well, not sure if I'll use it but it's still cool they threw that in.

The tools and trem bar come in a Team J-craft ziplock that fit perfectly into the storage compartment that does close, contrary to some earlier speculation.

I'd attach photos if I could figure out how, but I always get a message saying my file is too big.

Excellent Gtr-Man! I have ordered one myself and I am glad to hear the rave reviews!!!!! How does the neck feel?? How is the factory setup? Half decient? Hey, can I ask how long it took your order to come in??? When I ordered my 7VWH back in 1999, it took 8 months to get it. I dont want to wait that long!! Patience...NOT!

Congrats
Jim

ps - Stop lookin at yourself in the mirror

I ordered it back in February. The neck feels great, I think I like it better than the one piece on my VWH. The action and overall set up is pretty much where I'd put it. This is my 5th Ibanez and the only one to come set up correctly , well close to it...closer than past guitars...I see improvement from Ibanez.

I think I have figured out how to link pictures, let me know if it doesn't work. If it works I'll hook up more... I'm better with my guitars than computers.

I'd like to see pics of the Edge Pro Trem Stopper. I"ve never heard of it. Does the thing only come with the Jem77BRMR exclusively or does it now come with all the new 2005 guitars with an edge pro?

I'd like to see some Trem Stopper pics as well. It definitely doesn't come with all 2005 Edge Pro guitars (didn't come with my JS). It may not even come with all of the BRMRs. Is that a semi-permanent install, or can it be "switched" in and out?

it's probably this old piece

It's a flat piece of clear acrylic/plexiglass that screws onto the trem block. Remove the trem, attach with the 2 enclosed screws, install trem, instructions included in with the "part". Does the same thing as the "unfloat block" for 1 cent instead of $1.
