Aaaah, what does Rich know

My bad, thought they had SK or DY or LNG on there after the 777.
Like I said, it's a torn shim.

Did I mention I was in a drunken stupor last night?
This morning I feel like I've been eaten by a wolf and shat off a cliff

Bet "that" smelled like an egg sandwich

Wouldnt pay a thousand quid, and i hate the way they ruined the headstock... other than that, i love it...

Anyway folks, there's a rule about live auctions that you all know, I'm thinkin'....

I think there should be a rule about eating egg sandwiches while masking off Ibanez logos to disguise old worn out Jems as proto-types..........while being eatin by wolves...........
But thats me............

Anywho......................

Thanks, just wondering

The guitar came from Ibanez Japan as a one off.
It was never intened so be a commercially available guitar, my guess is it was put together as a prototype and sent out to see what dealers / people thought of it.
Alot of companies do this to test out new product.
Its a great guitar with a unique look Ive never seen a black headstock Jem before!!

It plays like a dream and I think it sounds better than a regular Jem (my friend has a 777) as it doesnt have a huge hole where the monkey grip goes it has much better tone. "

He hasn't replied to my (very similar) question. Sounds like he's talking rubbish.

He's lying thru his teeth, there's no question about it.

Don't know about you, but I'm convinced. Now where's that BIN button
