hey,

i really want to buy a JEM 7v, but i cannot afford. What would u say is the best substitute?

ALso, what do you think of the new RD 2620 black pewter coloured guitar?

A decent substitute would be the RG series. I prefer the older RG5xx and RG7xx myself but the new RG1570 and RG2550/2750 would also do well. Bear in mind that the Jem 7vwh is alder and most RG's are basswood so there will be a difference in tone. And if you desire the Jem77brmr well fear not since both the 77 and RG are basswood. But to answer your question an RG with the right pickups would be the best option. Joshua
