I laughed hysterically. Never have I seen someone take such offense to a few words. <snicker>

Tree of life inlay would be cool but man, they're getting old... something new and just as elegant I think might be in order...

Maybe a chrome pyramid, or the lights like Vai's? I guess the Sims lights would kill the street price you suggested, but still...

Judging from Steve's post, it almost sounds like the "chrome" JEM actually has a layer of Mylar or a comparable shiny material adhered to the top. Especially since he said that the top contour is starting to "wrinkle". The LED fretmarkers sound pretty cool though!

I don't care for it much myself... I like the chrome illusion jem better. Now I love the js chrome boy! I think its the curves of the body, makes it look better in chrome to me.

There's a photo taken on Jan 11, 2003 of Steve and Billy Sheehan rehearsing. Looks like a chrome JEM.

Here's the link http://www.vai.com/updates/index.html

I want one.
