Silverchair jem?


Today I watched a silverchair video clip that was on rage today and the main guy/kid (He looked like 12 in the video) had what seemed to be a jem fp body with a tune-o bridge and a fender style head, it was weird as. It did have pink pickups though.

What kind of weird mix would it be? I would understand if it were a proper jem body with a strat neck but a tune-o?

It is just that mate..... A Floral jem with the neck replaced with a fender.... Don't know wether it was one of his regular guitars or if Daniel Johns just did it for the video though

Re: Silverchair jem?


From my memory, when that Video came out, I could clearly spot it was a fake Jem....

Im almost certain it was a fake.... Id have to watch it again

Here are a couple of photos, the website claims that it is a real Jem....

Check the pic... Its a Jem body with a Jem fretboard and a weird headstock... Looks a little dodge...

then the pic below is a Jem with a fender neck....

Re: Silverchair jem?


It's real, IMO.

The first pic has a weird headstock because it's been badly photoshopped. Daniel's head is a weird shape too in it. The bridge on the guitar also looks like an Edge.

Looks like between the first pic and the Tomorrow video it's had the bridge cavity filled in, Gibson style bridge installed, and a Fender neck replacement.

I can't remember what video it was and I'm not a fan of them at all so I didn't know the song, and it was hard to tell what I saw as it was just short shots of it and the picture quality was bad.

Ah damn, I thought no one would ever have brought it up before so I didn't check too see if there was an old thread, oh well.
