is this worth £920? I certainly Think so!

First time, i have ever played on these, shes amazing!

The humbuckers are the original PAF pro’s, whilst the single coil pickup is the original custom wound Dimarzio, especially made for the JEMs to blend perfectly in tone with the humbuckers. The volume and tone pots are original, with no sign of wear on the knobs. The original 5-way selector switch gives noiseless transition between pickup selections.

The earliest 777VBKs were fitted with the Edge tremolo, but this one is fitted with the slightly later, and improved, Lo-Pro Edge trem. The neck has recently received a professional fret dressing and setup.

Finally, if you’re that clued up on these as to question the strap buttons – well you’re correct, these are Schaller Straplocks (wouldn’t want to drop it, would you) Pics are below.

I think it's great guitar mate but as to your original question, I think you paid about £100 too much.
Still.....If you love the guitar, what does it matter eh ?

ya had to mention something bad didnt ya! lol Honestly though i have been after one of the 777VBK JEMS for around 2 years now, after recieving her in the condition that she is in, i really don't mind paying that little extra.

Probably could of bought it cheaper if found one from the US i suppose.

Well you did name this thread " is this worth £920? ".

They're available on the bay (UK bay that is) periodicly for a bit cheaper but the real question is, is it worth 920 to you ? I think you've answered that.

At the end of the day it's not gonna depreciate so don't worry about it.

I think you could have got one for around £800, probably less, but it would mean waiting until the right time, if you're happy with the guitar then that's all that matters.

Zoot · #8 03-09-2007, 04:35 PM

Honestly !

Who could do THAT to an LNG? Christ almighty. I've seen it all now.

Zoot · #14 03-09-2007, 06:34 PM

PAW you realy do have the love , that LNG Is about as bad as it gets.
I meant it about the VBK I would have gone for it if you hadn't been so quick.

Eggy · #15 03-09-2007, 07:01 PM

don't get me wrong PAW, that guitar you've got yourself there is fantastic. I rate them far higher than the VWH and the new VBK ones. It's got paf pros like mine so you'll be well pleased with the tone when you get chance to crank it up to live volume.
