Question about JEM 777SK

BK · #1 07-21-2003, 08:38 AM

Hi everyboy. I'm new at this forum, so I'm not really sure if this is the right place to post this.

I'm not really familiar with Ibanez guitars, I'm a Jackson man, but now I have the opportunity to buy a JEM 777SK pretty cheap. The problem is that I can't try it out before I buy it since the seller lives in another part of the country than me. So I was wondering what do you guys (and girls) think about the 777SK?

If it's cheap,I say BUY IT,they are lovely guitars,barring disaster it'll play better than most Jackson/charvel axe's,if you dont buy it can i have his phone number :-)

Before you throw down your cash for this, you do know that it's neon pink, right?

i got a 777sk real cheap also, i think its great. but i wouldn't buy a guitar with-out playing it first, how-ever if you must, you can always sell it on for more if you don't like it.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing

I know, but that's just cool. And you ain't a real man until you've played a pink guitar

Well, the seller lives in Norway (so do I), so I doubt he'll sell it to you.

That's why I'm asking you guys what you think about the guitar

you know what really struck me when i saw an SK for the firs time 'in the flesh' was how really pink they are. i mean i'd seen photos and knew what to expect, but damn, they are really, really pink.

nothing worng with pink, I know some really cool things that are pink

I still dream about picking up a cheap SK. I mean, I have a LNG and a DY, and the SK makes the original neon holy trinity.

though of course my DY is a little customised - maybe I'd take marker pens to the SK or something. dunno really. guess I'll have to see if one ever turns up at the right time.

Nah, I love 'em (in fact my last gf and I first bonded over drooling over pics of them on Jemsite, long story and no I didn't meet her here), but for all we know BK could be Zakk Wylde looking for a new guitar. I just had a mental image of Zakk's roadie throwing him his new axe (sight unseen like the time I saw Foo Fighters and the first time Dave saw his new guitar was when his tech handed it to him), and he's standing there blinking in disbelief.
