HI all... i am still new in here and i am currently living in Malaysia now... Planning to get a new rock axe... 2nd hand JEM which sell about US$ 600-700 looks still affortable for me... but since that is so hard to get the price now (cause i am keep searching on ****).. maybe looking for others axe which also nearly same spec with it... actually i damm like the feeling of the JEM neck because it is so thin and make me feel that i can play very smooth on it...(i tried a JEM jr before)..

so, till now i still cant find a 2nd hand JEM with price range US$600-700... any good suggestion on others nice axe ??
JS ?? (i m also keep searching but can really see ppl selling JS1200 worldwide)
RG ??
or watever suggestion ??

any suggestion and opinion are welcome !!!!
Thanks a lot !!!

p.s: sorry that i m using poor english

Hey there ah keat, a jem for 600-700usd are rare but I saw those DBK sold on the bay for around that price once, seriously the jemjr neck is totally not the same as ar real jem's neck (I own a jem77bfp :P) anyway i have it repainted right now and changing out some other stuff,

You can get a good rg 550 for around lesser than that price and they're good guitar

Go for a 550, 570, 520, etc. essentially any japanese rg with the pickup configuration you want and youll be in the zone.

I remember seeing an RGT3120 TV going for $700 a short while ago (either on E*** or here on the Jemsite). Great guitar and a great price!!

so......
izzit RG those day with prestige good enough ?? or ..... RG 5xx RG 7xx ??? what is the different between both of them ?? the neck dimension ???

Ozzdoc · #12 07-20-2006, 05:09 PM

RG 5XX and 7XX's are essentailly the same performence wise.

Both have Edges, (Lo-pro depending on year) both came with Maple or Rosewood boards, both Wizard Necks.

The 7XX just ahve sharkfin inlays and sometimes a clear pickguard like a UVMC.

Sorry to a bit noob of question... does anyone mind to answer this ???

what is actually mean by prestige ??
and also why now a days all rg series come with prestige and with the model name 4digit ? such as RGxxxx but i cant see any new guitar with RG5xx or 7XX ??
