What a great day! Today, i went to the local music store, and purchased a brand new 7vwh for myself! Beauty!
Asides for the semi-rough time I had with the employees, all of whom had a major attitude problem and seemed to be jealous that a guy so young looking was walking out with that guitar, I am proud to say this puppy is mine, and mine for good. And I deserve it, its been a long time since I've bought something for myself!
It needs to be set up as some employee tuned it to E flat, but it plays like a charm! I am so excited I can hardly type!
Believe it or not, the sky actually looks bluer and the flowers smell nicer today!
I have 3 things to say,
1. I hate you.
2. It's good to hear that a "young person " would rather buy a guitar ( even better, the ultimate guitar) than fork out for decks.
3. Get insurance for your axe.
just my two cents....................
grats on the vwh i just got a vsbl my frist jem totally in heaven with it i tuned it a week ago been using the trem like crazy a week later its still in tune, am in ahh myself with the jems, and i havent even started on how much i like the pickups. hope you enjoy it as much as i have been .
I'm guessing here, seeing as the last time I was in Canada was when I was five, but if you check out various guitar magazines + the net, there should be several companies out there that specialise in insurance for musical instruments that are based in your area. I may be completely wrong, but I'm operating from logical thought here. :roll:

As far as insurance goes, get a specific rider added to your homeowner's or tenant's insurance for your household contents. If you have neither, you should reconsider that.
thanx for the advice darren, and guess what, it was Steve's.
Scuse my profanity, but they are nothing but a bunch of assholes there. never used to be like that, too bad.
Vai the god of sound, yes my friend, that guitar is now my jem, but i got it at the regular price, because I had it on lay away. See, they decided they wanted to void my layaway and put it back on the floor.
I basically slapped my receipt down and said there's no way in HELL I'm paying 400 bucks more when I have a document here saying I put it on layaway for the lesser price!
I have a bit of a problem tho, the guitar is not staying in tune as well as I'd hoped, seems to have a bit of a problem, not quite sure what to do.
I've followed the steps outlined here at jemsite and ibanezrules.com.
they only thing left to try is tightening the bridge a bit, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.
Dave, I'm not so sure its just the springs....I've really worked it in a lot the past few days (you can take it to the bank when I say alot :wink: ), but there is just something strange.
I suspect I, like many unfortunate jem buyers of 2001 models may have incorrect trem posts (slightly big).
I've taken the issue up with rich in a thread in the tech section.
I'm a little nervous about it, the guitar seems a bit unstable.
i won't over tweak tho, probably get a pro to look at it. I'm pretty bad with the technicalities of a guitar. :roll:
