weird Jem


There's an ad at the local auction site called mercado livre.

The owner says it is a Floral (green floral hahahhaa), that he painted black, replaced the edge for a Gotoh tremolo and stuff

What do you guys think of it ?

To me it looks like more a 77GMC because of the pickup color scheme

anyways the dumba*s destroyed the guitar ehehhahaha

Re: weird Jem


Looks more like a VBK, minus the pickups and the bridge. Without better pics, it's a tough call. Can't tell if 21-24 are scalloped either.

Proceed with much caution if you're planning on buying. Demand some better quality (and closer) pics.

Re: weird Jem


Does not look authentic. I dont think 21-24 are scalloped based on the picture.

Re: weird Jem


the seller said the tremolo was replaced (to a gotoh) and the guitar was repainted. The weird stuff is that he claims that the guitar WAS a Green Floral

for our brazilian stardards the guitar is cheap, a used jem usually is about twice that price

and no, I'm not interested in the guitar, a friend pointed the ad, and I was intrigued as everybody

i don't think it's a fake, but I am very positive that he ruined it hehehahah

I like it, but they shouldn't have put the gotoh on it.

Re: weird Jem


Looks like a VBK to me with GMC style pickups. I can't believe anybody would want to paint over an FP, to each his own I guess. I'd rather have the original trem than the Gotoh too.
