God am I depressed! I was hoping it would compare to a cheaper (Indonesian) RG series, but it just didn't. While I hated the strat knobs, the hate stopped there. The guitar had the best feel of any guitar II can remember. It made me wonder why people still buy strats. The trem was excellent and I didn't even have to tune it. The pickups were Evos which I already liked, but they just fit with this guitar.
Long story longer... I will not be asking if the Jems are worth the extra $$, because they are very nice. I don't get the
scalloped fretboard or the handle, but am not really knocking it either.
Is there any possibility that I could get an RG that plays like a Jem? I don't need the gold hardware, handle, awesome inlay, scallops.
I just want an RG that plays like that Jem. Am I asking for too much? I want to stay under $1000.00 What do you recommend?
