I was looking at Jem related items on ****bay and saw this 300309117366. Is it fake? It seems fake to me, but I am still learning about all the different Jem models and features.

No, that's a real one. It was only available about two years.

If anyone really needs a laugh, go to www.ioffer.com and search Ibanez. It's a Chibanez paradise!!!

Here's an example -->

It's not all original. The guard is changed, the plate is off another JEM, etc.

On the pics of some of them, they only say 'JEM'. I cannot possibly fathom they ran out of Jem Jr. necks.

Re: FRAUD/VERIFICATION MASTER TOPIC: verify a guitar, seller, fakes, etc.


Recently come across these on "you know where"

Ibanez PGM30 JB Paul Gilbert PGM 30 301 401 jem rg 300
NO RESERVE! Super rare.Hard to find

Item Number - : 280338098773

AND

1991 Ibanez Jem77bfp Steive Vai jem bfp fp rg guitar
NO RESERVE! Super rare.Hard to find

Item Number - : 280338097203

The same seller is selling both "1993penny1993penny1993penny" has 13 feedback, 3 of them being a sale (1 is an eric clapton strat, the other 2 are unconfirmed) and a few purchases majority of which are ebooks, several of them being "How to receive 100 feedback in a few days"

Seems pretty suspicious, maybe you guys can confirm. Sorry if this post doesn't adhere to the rules, I did read them. If not, please make any necessary changes, thanks.

If it's so hard to find any scratches or marks, why is there a chip?

So after a lot of work I managed to get my money back through paypal!!!
I'm super happy with the outcome and thanks to everyone who helped me!

Just a quick note - the guy selling this gear on **** is genuine so far as I can see and I do not believe he is the same guy who scammed me.

Re: FRAUD/VERIFICATION MASTER TOPIC: verify a guitar, seller, fakes, etc.


Sooo, this is news to me.
I wasn't aware of the fake JEM issue.
I have decided to sell my guitar, and received a question asking me if it was an authentic Ibanez? I thought the guy was being a smart alec, until I came here and now I see why he asked.

The auction ends in a day and a half, and I want to be sure I'm selling the real deal. I bought it used in Sep of '03 off of the 'Bay, and according to the internet, the serial number F0010XXX says it was made in the Fujigen factory.

Am I selling a real one? Are there key things to look for?
