Im no rocket scientist but I think that this shop in town screwed me over when i payed them to block my trem and set up my guitar. Shouldnt the trem be level with the body? What are your suggestions. The reason I blocked the trem was because I did not have lock nuts and I do alot of drop tuning...

I have been playing 20 years - mostly blues/hard rock. I mainly play a strat but I was looking for a change from the standard Les Paul / Strat guitars. Which is a good JEM model for me to check out? Is there a $1500 model or are they all over $2K. Also - which non-Jem ibanez model compares...

What are the main differences in these guitars besides the top shape. I would be replacing the pickups in either one. Is there any differences in the necks? Some of the RG's I've played had too thin of necks...

I'm a complete n00B in the ways of pickups and guitar modifications, so I need you guys here at jemsite to help me a little. Recently I decided to buy the parts I need from warmoth.com, so I could assemble the fabled "me" guitar. Now, I've made a parts list of (most) everything I will need...

Hey Guys, I am looking to trade my 06 7V for something different. This is the last of my Jems. I kept this the longest because it is the best one out of all the Jems that I have owned. I swapped out the gold with the cosmo hardware from a 94 RG550 ltd. Mirror pickguard too. It has the original...

Hi, I'm in need of a little help or I'm afraid I'm gonna blow up stuff ;) Situation: For practicing after 10pm etc, I would like to hook up my guitar to my pc and use software like Amplitube or Guitar Rig, using headphones, to do exercises, jam along with MP3's etc. So I used to plug in my...

This auction is for an authentic 2001 Ibanez Jem 7DBK guitar with case! The guitar is in excellent condition and has been taken good care of. I had custom EMG pickups installed, including an 85 in the bridge and neck and an S in the center. They sound fantastic in my opinion, and if you give...

Hi guys. First post! I've had an RGT220A for around 12 months now, and am really happy with the look and feel of it. My only gripe is with the pickups. I bought an Edwards (ESP) Randy Rhoads a couple of weeks back, fitted with 2 EMG 81s, and although it is a much cheaper guitar, sonically...

Hi folks, This is my first post here, and the 59 model is my first Duncan pickup (used DiMarzios in the past) I'm really glad that i discovered the 59 model. Since i went to 10-46 (from 009s) i never was happy about my tone with the DiMarzio Breeds (too buzzy and hard, but dull, without...

Hey, Just got this.........totally a new style axe for me. I'm much more of a strat/tele/335 player......... Having tried these in the past, I assume I'm gonna want to swap pickups. What are some good choices for classic rock .........say, Cream to Van Halen level gain? I don't have much...

As you know the RG 2550 is a basswood body guitar with pickguard. I also have a RG 2620 with DiMarzio Breeds in it and now I want something different for the 2550. Shred and picking - sensitive for the neck and lots of harmonics would be great The brindge PU should have lots of harmonics, too...

Hey folks! Someone (no user of jemsite) has offered me to buy his JEM 777DY. Condition is good, little fretwear, very small flaws. Including hardcase and shipped for 1300 Euros. A lot of people told me that the jemsite- pricelist is not up to date any more - so I have no idea if it is worth the...

I used it to try out some heads, it's just perfect playability wise, but does anyone else find their picking arm gets really achy? Also are V-series pickups supposed to sound so twangy?

I seriously want either green or pink humbuckers on my DY. :D But I actually love the stock pups, so can I just get a pup cover? Also, does anyone know of a vendor that we can buy the EXACT stock pickguard? I can tell its going to be scratched to hell after a couple of gigs, and make no...

OK, so none of the prestigues come with good pickups in them and, all the J-customs come with the tone zone/air nortion combo (which i don't perfer) couldn't they swich it up a bit? what are your thoughts and comments about this? this is why i want a JEM. the evolutions are my favorite...

I own 3 RGAs, RGA121NTF, RGA321SPB, and a RGA121TKF, all of which i am obsessed with! I love the way these guitars feel, sustain, and pretty much everything about them! I've always loved the idea of an RG with a hardtail, i've had my fair share of rg's with trems, but as i've gotten older, i've...

Hi all, I am trying to decide what kind of pickup configuration I would like to try next... I would like to know what everyone's pickup preferences are for both neck an bridge positions.....and why..... Please state brand and model and why you like it/them for whatever your type of music is...
