monkey grip

Hello, I am purchasing an RG modified to look like a Jem. The body is pretty great, but the monkey grip doesn't have a clear coat. I know someone who could paint it for me, but they don't live locally. Would it be hard to paint myself? Any advice? I've heard that sometimes auto shops will...

hi, i have decided to purchase a Universe, however i am stuck between a 777bk or 777gr. the 777BK is very stylish, has a rosewood board (i prefare), better acess to the last few frets, and seems to be prefared on this site. however i think that it is just a bit plain, being black, not really...

remember the PGM 3 I talked about? http://jemsiteforum.com/board/topic.cgi?forum=3&topic=803&replies=1 Today I went to the shop again I realized that I had overlooked the "new Jem" last time It is the "new" Jem Jr. (isn't that the 555 is called Jr too?) On the back of the head stock, it is...

Ok, so Ibanez call you up one day and ask if they can give you a bazilion gazzillion guitars for the rest of your life, providing you come up with the ultimate *NEW* Jem, what would your own Jem be like. Many people (including myself) think the new blue jem is a tad boring, so what would be...

I was looking through the catalog scans, when I noticed how terrible the 'cover up' of the monkey grip on the proto MC is: here Just thought I'd share :)

Ok guys i got my BSB. It has a few worn ups on the sides but all in all its in great mint condition. (I think worn ups are pretty normal on an unfinished guitar. btw it looks cool) It serial # is F98 150 75. What tells this? Could somebody grab some information about it? Well and i thought about...

I fanally broke down and quit avoiding it and deludeing myself with visions of home-built oddities and  Franken- universe and went to musicians friend .com today and dropped the dough on a brand new uv777bk it will arrive tuesday if all goes well

This is taken from the newsgroup uk.music.guitar... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo James

Hi there! I was just wondering all of you "guyses" opinions on the universe. In other words, what universe do you think is the best and why?

Hi everbody! i 've Just bought the guitar book of passion and warfare... I am wondering something, on the cover i see steve vai with his 7 strings guitar which has no monkey grip. but inside the book, the are others pictures of a guitar which has exactly the same design, same colour same...

Why is the JEMDBk so much more expensive than the RG570. You guys are probably saying this kids an idiot but seriously they both have a basswood body, rosewood fretboard, one has a lowpro edge while the other has an edge but you guys usually say it is a matter of preference, both have a wizard...

:( My guitar was stolen when my house was robbed last week. I'm now attempting to ID exactly what it was that I had. I bought it on the spur of the moment about 7-8 years ago, and the shop that sold it too me is long gone, and no, I don't have a receipt or a serial number. I was told it was a...

Hey, everybody... I've got an RB that I picked up on e-bay a while ago. It sounds great, and the body is in great condition, but unfortunately, it didn't come with the RB neck on it (I think it's a neck from an RG570 or so). So here's the guitar as it is today: Since my chances of finding a...

Is there a big diference?? I think the necks is a little different and not the same pu's but other than that, how different are they??
