What do you think of this?

Opinions? I think it plays better than the 77FP..

Some people (including me) would leave that just as it is! (and be happy about it!)

It's nice the way it is, but the paint's quite cracked and you can see the wood quite easily.

Let's see how this grows on me =)

...don't fix what isn't broken...the guitar looks unique man. Let her be. I would if it were mine...

Another thing....pianting it black will only make it look like anyone else's guitar, and so what if the wood is exposed? The FP has it's whacks....you going to repaint it too because of some small flaws? That's character bro !

So you guys think it looks good?

I remember when having these ideas about RG body and Jem neck, some people here were almost furious about doing a "fake jem".

Anyways, I love this thing. It's SO awesome to play!

You have a point in there!

I call this my JEM/RG 7VPW

With 77FP's pots:

With white pots. I think these are the best:

brianxtr · #9 04-03-2008, 06:39 PM

white is the best!

(for the knobs ofcourse!and i have a uvpwh/rg-white/fender olympia white.)

funkdubious · #10 04-03-2008, 06:55 PM

White knobs for sure. I like it,dont paint it black.That would be terrible!

CosmicDebris · #11 04-03-2008, 07:05 PM

It is cool dude. The only and mean only thing I would do diff is a while pearloid pickguard with black knobs.

RG1820X · #12 04-03-2008, 07:54 PM

I like the white knobs also. I thought the "real" fake jems were those chibanez one. Even though I do like those pbk's, I think your custom looks really nice and has character. Good job picking the color scheme.

Yepp, white headstock isn't the best for this but I'm not going to paint it. The neck's too expensive for that =)

Nice that people like this! Soldered the electric parts and it sounds good! There's some issues with the 5-way switch, though. Gotta fix it tomorrow. Something's too tight in there because can't get it on the neck-pup-only. The pups are cheap ones but sound surprisingly good. Will change them to Evolutions or something later.
