Ibanez Jem and Universe Site

Jemsite.com info

The Site -
I want every Ibanez Guitar player/owner to be proud of this site and their Ibanez guitars. Jemsite provides a wealth of information about the Ibanez JEM and Universe guitars, in addition to other similar upscale Ibanez models such as USA Custom, J-Custom, Prestige RGs, etc. Please share your guitar photos for the Guitar Photo Galleries, especially multicolors. Your contributions and information will be appreciated by Ibanez fans worldwide. Use the FTP/e-mail link to contribute.

Jemsite & Forum History - this website began without the dot-com as a small "JEM & UV Collector's Site". It provided many details and photographs about JEM and UV guitars that were never previously available on the web. As my personal JEM/UV collection grew, so did the info and photos on the website. My local Internet Provider soon sent messages of "too much TRAFFIC" and so began the search for a commercial webhost where the site could continue to exist and possibly even grow. A discussion forum was soon added where the "jemsite community" was born so everyone can easily interact. Soon afterwards, as visitors grew and grew, a few talented musicians pitched the idea to put together a compilation CD to promote their music and love for Ibanez guitars, which actually came to fruition as the "Generation Ibanez CD". The Jemsite.com domain was chosen and added to the CD-artwork, since a long-term committment was made to to giving "jemsite.com" a permanent address on the internet. more to come...

The Author - Jemsite.com and Jemsiteforum.com is owned, updated and operated exclusively by Glen G. Cianciulli. It should be noted that guitar/music is strictly a hobby, not my profession. Never aspired to be a "rock star" or instrumentalist. I am neither a guitar dealer nor a reseller. My personal Ibanez Guitars are all played and enjoyed. At heart, it turns out that I'm not a "collector" afterall.
