There was no sales pitch to me about "custom shop" (laughable) this or that, or that Vai owned it. I thought it was a good price on my first Jem and having an autograph sealed the deal. There went my tax refund money.

Being 20 years old and broke a few months later, I sold it through the dallas morning news evidently to the guy who is now selling it. I think I sold it for around 700$ at the time and was happy to get it. It never really sat well with me cuz it was a bastard child of sorts, and it was well, pink.

I think its the same guy, cuz he says he got it late 92 which is when i sold it. I was living in Oklahoma at the time and met him halfway at a Wendy's in Texas for the exchange.

Seeing it again is a flashback to harder times. Lol. Extremely odd to see it on sale for that much cash though, wowser. I'd be hard pressed to fork over a grand max for it.

I guess he's basing his price off of what someone told him at a guitar show. Strange though.
wow thats coool yet strange haHA werid how things happen.

Re: New auctions to laugh at


I'd buy it and play the hell out of it for $1000 but what he is asking waaaay too much for it. He must have sold it by now, I wonder how much he ended up getting. Interesting story, how strange for it to surface again after all these years!

Must have been a GC employee at that show that told him it was worth $4000! They tried to sell me a beat up J-custom one time for like $6000.

Re: New auctions to laugh at

Speechless ain't the word dude. It looks like someone ate an MKR and puked it out on body and then clear coated it.

At least he should have had the decency to puke it out on a 7 stringer and not a 6
