This is a bit of a worry!
I wonder how many of these sub-standard "NOTJems" will flood into the market due to the cheapo price?
I can't see them being much in the way of quality and I hope Ibanez put a stop to them.

Oh you'll have to manualy insert the eshay word as I can't get it to link.
Hope somebody knows how to contact Ibanez about these as they've ripped off everything right down to the headstock shape.

Rofl.

I guess it's better then buying a squire strat to start of with though...

Monkey grip is off......so is lower horn.....

And looking at all three guitars.....there isn't even body uniformaty amongst them.

Heh, the monkey grip is HUGE. I bet I could stick my entire hand through that.

I think the mokey grip is big so you can get your entire arm through it......
....You know,, for that "over the shoulder" look.

At least it looks like a good guitar, almost

I would hope the members of Jemsite would be able to seperate what "looks" like a good guitar and what IS a good guitar.
I bet the finish and the build quality are shocking!

Oh no, the germans are coming, the germans are coming. NOT!

Looking at all 3, I could tell there was something wrong with them. Quick, someone buy one so we can see how bad they really are. I'm sure they play, but how well is a different story, and miles away from playing like the real thing.

I guess if you just want the look but your probably better off building it yourself.

I wouldn't consider it a problem.

You can either buy a JEM, or you can buy that twisted hunk-o-junk. Now, if they were as good as a Jem, but for less, THEN there might be some cause for concern on Ibanez's behalf. But otherwise, that things a joke, and anybody in the JEM market can easily tell that that thing is an oversized splinter.

Oh my god those are freek'n hidieous! The old "crap" is rolling off the line now. Some dork is going buy those thing,,then come to the Jemsite with pics and an attitude, wanting to hang with other Jem owners..... Poor little dude is going to be run out of town....

here's me about to buy a bona fide 7VWH but all the while there's an absolute bargain to be had right there on e*ay!

yikes!

Globbits · #13 04-22-2005, 09:40 PM

looking at the buying history- some poor chap has gone and bought three- perhaps one of each colour, for his aspiring musical triplets?
Wonder how long before the cheapo floyd inserts soften and take little Timmy's eye out with a whiplashed E string...?

Shep · #14 04-23-2005, 06:15 AM

i think the body's made of pine....

wow it has two humbucker's and a single pick up ....... that must good.

I think it's thats same model to what Steve Vai play's ......

it even has the trem like Steve Vai's guitar- it must be then.... i am going to get me one.

there are people in the world who would buy this guitar purely on looks.. sad but true..
