I don't disagree but just couldn't resist.

I mean come on it has flower curtains on it. Nothing screams masculinity like interior decorating!

🤣

I don't think the Jem looks masculine, we occasionally play with this girl (vocalist) who looks like a Disney princess, and infact she's obsessed with the whole Disney thing. She's the most stereotypically feminine person I know and she was the first female to acknowledge and comment on how "pretty" my 7V was. I don't think there is anything manly about a Jem, but it's a cool looking guitar either way. And sure the PIA is even more feminine. I don't get the point of this thread though, it comes across that you're just bitter about Jems being expensive.

Lots of other high end guitars are expensive, but you don't need to own them to have a good guitar, they sell because there is a demand.

I think it depends on the jem cuz a 77v is a pretty nasty looking beast. That's the one I was referring to when I said it looks like something a viking would wield into battle... A shred battle!! 🤘😎

A lot of guitars are very expensive but in comparison to the rest of the ibanez line up, a jem and pia are pretty up there on the pricing scale. Especially a MIJ jem cuz... They are no longer manufacturered anymore.
