Hi to everybody!
Glad ti have found that place sUrfing!!
I would like to start my first post asking Your opinions about that:

A guy is selling a Jem on eb*y and i would be interested,but from the pics
I seriously dount it is ,as i did'nt find any matching -right guitar on the net.

it misses middle pickup also.
here i report the various pics :
I 've putted **** instead of the famous auctionsite (e*ay) in the middle of the address as it seems its not allowed direct link to that.
If i'm acting Wrong (Forum Rules) I put my deepest apologies in advance!!!

Wht you think?
I never owned one ,but that smells fake to me

Edit :
Auction is in Italy about an used guitar ,not the "china stuff" i 've found browsing the forum before to post
,that's why i Did ask .

Not even close.

No monkey grip. No lion claw. There are no 7 string Jems. There are no Jems with v-trems. There are no Jems with 22 frets. If you look at the body, it's not even an RG.

THANk You Very much, as i suspected ( i've browsed ALL the pics of the page to check that).

Is a shop (i've posted just the pics ,but i could post the link for it).

it IS an ibanez..

but not a jem. it's a grx720 (the 7-string of the gio line), with a jem decal. Look at the 2002 catalogue.

not only the word jem is a decal i think ,
the ibanez logo is golden , it should be white?
Rest assured is not what he claimed .
Ok it does'nt matter at that point
