I have often almost pulled the trigger on a Mick Thomson for the FX Edge bridge, but I hate the way it looks...

I know! Cool, isn't it? I never knew until recently, when I saw him playing a Gibson G3 (my bass!). Then i read the interview on him. He seems like a really good bassist, seeing as he is playing a high end Lakland (in the photo too), and does lots of sessions work.



EDIT: Oh wait, it's not a Lakland. Just looked like one, and I've seen him with them before.

I've never understood why the FX Edge isn't used more extensively on Ibanez guitars...

I think the fixed bridge Jem looks much better as the RG1451.

RDNZL is the Zappa Plays Zappa JEM, the tribute tour that Frank Zappas son Dweezil has done or is doing now.

Re: The 2010 Flower JEM


Unlike the Floral which fades to black at the edges of the body, this one looks like the pattern goes right to the edge and abruptly stops. I hope the pattern either fades or goes all around.

3) All the current JEMs are AANJ, but the reissue swirl universe had a square neck joint...

4) Pablo's latest squeeze has the old neck joint, Satch's guitars have the old neck joint, press a button on a computer and Steve's guitars can have a square neck joint, giving the public what they want = economics 101 success

I'm not saying that this is or isn't the new JEM, I really don't know, but I don't think your logic holds up!
re-issues are in limited production - REUVMC is 100 pieces or something, new jem will be mass mass production guitar NOT reissue. since steve has approved of aanj i simply see reason to go back. gimme a reason dudes...
