Here we have an Ibanez Jem77 GMC
REPLICA which was swirled by Nate Perle of perleguitars.cjb.net. It was then worked on by Simscustomshop who worked his magic by reclearing it and upgraded the Ibanez headstock decal with a neon green one subsequently clearing over that too. There is a discussion here about Perles swirls which includes a run-down of what happened with this particular body -

OK so from what I remember its an Ibanez Edge trem, genuine zebra Dimarzio Evolutions (?) (which I believe were a custom order), Dimarzio Evolution (?)/Jem single coil and Dimarzio switches/pots. The neck I think was an Ibanez RG550 or 570. This also comes with a genuine Ibanez UV1000C hardcase and a clear pickguard fully drilled should you decide to screw into the paintjob. I'm sure a few people out there know more about this than I do so if I correct any of these details I will make the changes clear.
A once-over with some lemon oil for the fretboard wouldnt go amiss and might be done myself if I have the time. It has none of the "usual suspects" so no cracks through the locking nut or neck joint splits.
I've had this since July 2005 and kept it safe never playing it myself - the occasional stare at it was all I needed. He worked hard on this one (apparently took 27 swirls to get it perfect). I was always on the look out for the final touch which would have been the proper green vine Jem neck and just as I see a couple of them floating around the Bay the exchange rates priced them out of my reach.

(?) I'm not sure if the pickups are Evolutions or Paf Pro's without unscrewing everything but am thinking Evo's rather than the other given the production date and will disassemble if thats a deal breaker for someone.
I'm looking for £650 + £20 UK postage or collection is fine. Postage to the US or Europe might be more but that can be negotiated/sorted out easily enough.
