Re: Jem's For $100.00!!


may as well compare a $40000 car to a $3000 one while you're at it, same diff

how is the neck etc? obviously the pups and bridge etc are gonna suck but that can all be swapped out and the axe hotrodded to be pretty nice as long as the neck is ok

the neck is alright it have the gio ibanez feel on it.... But the pups really have to go..... afraid to say this but a bit lighter than the 7v

Re: Jem's For $100.00!!


really? that's pretty sweet then especially if you hotrodded the neck a little, a light sand etc for an unfinished, maybe a fretjob etc

is the inlay pretty sweet in person?

Well, I would think so. Me, I'd get a cheap 555 before I'd get one of these.
