Hello I hope it is not inappropriate to ask such a thing in this section of the forum. I will sell my beloved JEM505, but i am not sure what price tag would be the optimal to set, since i'm quite inexperienced with selling guitars and i want to know below which price i should simply not go...

For sale is a JEM505 Japanese made guitar, in white. Never gigged, solid condition. Comes with a hardcase. Upgraded to Dimarzio pickups (super distortion bridge, PAF 30th neck). Black pickguard but original pickguard included if you like. Based in Sheffield, UK. Sold on sevenstring.org as...

I'm in a position where I may have to sell one of my JEMs. I'm just curious what sort of price I could reasonably get for a mint condition white JEM505 upgraded with Dimarzio pickups. I'm based in the UK, so prices in pounds of course.

Hi guys, I need some advice on selecting the best pickups for an Ibanez JEM505. Basically, I'm looking to get a bridge and neck humbucker set to make the ultimate metal guitar. I'm wanting to cover as many bases as possible from prog metal to thrash/death and modern metalcore styles. Some of...

Hi, Finally pulled the trigger on a UV70P after having had GAS for it for quite some time. I was not an Ibanez guy up until a year ago when I bought a JEM505 (pictured as well). I had a Japanese made Fender strat from 1984 (bought it new) that was modded along the line but it was stolen from me...

So, hoping to have the money by the end of this month to fund a second JEM505, i'm curious to see if there is one available on the used market. Based in Sheffield, UK - so UK sellers only please. Can budget up to £600. PM me on here or leave a message if you have anything available.

1) i just had to show off this pic of my quiver cos they look cyool! 2) what colour pick ups should i get for the Jem? The plate is smoke mirror. .

I am looking forward to modding this up! The jem505 is like a "clean slate" jem. All of the quality of a made in japan ibanez and all the quality components, but none of the vai signature ostentation. I got it secondhand dirt cheap yesterday, this guitar has never been used!. Its immaculate...

Hi! I know there are thousands threads about it, but I want your opinion before I get something that won't get along well with my guitar. I have a JEM505 - basswood body, maple fretboard. I play it through a Blackstar HT Stage 60. I will replace all my pickups because i find dimarzio - ibz a...

Hello there! Newbie and got new JEM505. However i am having problems and very disappointed. When i play a note anywhere the note oscillates (like vibrato/ring modulator). What could be problem? 1. Around bottom is it low 2. Top moderate 3. Middle high On clean it is there but not obvious -...

Oi guys, 1. I just bought a new jem 505, 5pc Maple/Walnut Prestige Jem neck, baswood body and maple fingerboard. It is quite an amazing guitar, i expected way less of the V´s, they are actually decent pickups but definetly not enough, it is a sin not to change the pickups and customize the...

i am modding my jem505 and am thinking of changing the pickguard. does anyone know if the jem7vwh and the 505 are the same size? i mean, chances are, it is, but i still like some reassurance. please help!! :smile:

Oookelidokeli, the much debated jem 505... :) I loved it from the first pics I saw of it, although I knew it would need new pickups, I'm not a fan of the V7-8s. I was the first to drop an order for one of these to Rich, an I had him replace the pickups aswell. Even with his labour costs, it was...

As I haven't found a thread that is dedicated to the upcoming JEM505, I decided to start one by myself. The guitar is no longer a surprise, since it is already listed on the German distributor's page at ibanez.de. The guitars are supposed to round out the JEM-line in the budget sector, though...
