clown? lolclown guitar? lol
wasnt resolved at all, and Rich said to "check the neck pocket". This is 100000% not a legitimate body.This has already been resolved in another thread. There was a picture shown of the neck pocket with the factory "JEM" labeling. It was verified as real by an ibanez vendor.
Not to be rude, but Im not "guessing". 1) thats not alder. that alone is enough. 2) the routings are incredibly sloppy. This is incumbent of a dull bit, something Fujigen would never let slide through. 3) the pickguard is CLEARLY wrong. Dont need to work at fujigen to see these things mate.@bob493, unless you've made the guitar in question from fake parts you're only guessing, like everyone else here is guessing. But I'd wager unless you work at either Fujigen in Japan or Headstock here in the U.K. then the folks who think it's real have almost certainly seen the inside of a JEM far more often than your average player or owner...
Great. Show me the post where rich says this is legitimate? Im missing it...Rich was the one who suggested to ask the guy to take the neck off. We all saw the JEM inscription in the neck pocket.

And regardless he wound up buying it. You can see a few posts up in the thread we are messaging in... the picture of the neck pocket.showing the factory markings.
:roll: no... no im not...Not to be rude, but, yeah, you ARE guessing, unless you want to throw up some evidence other than you don't think it looks like alder...
I think there are a few people here taking wh you've said with a pinch of salt too...
But it's not my money either so neither of us have too much to lose![]()
Wait, let me check... yeah. Yeah, thought so... yeah you are!:roll: no... no im not...
I'm sitting here with my white JEM which admittedly is a few years older, but I'm fairly sure is real, and bar the colour, it looks the same as the yellow one. At worst I think the yellow one may have been rebuilt with different screws, but the rosewood looks like rosewood to me, the pick guard looks right to me and so on. You might be the greatest sleuth in the world but frankly your evidence of a few cut and paste photos that are out of focus and out of scale look to be just more misleading than anything else...The differences are pretty obvious when pointed out, I've literally shown comparison pictures, and I've said why. Take it or leave it, I really dont care beyond this. If you guys cant/wont see it, thats fine, but telling someone to waste their money on whats AT BEST "sketchy" is kinda crap. The body IS fake, the pickguard IS fake, the stamp on the neck doesnt match at all, the stripes are way too thick, the pickups arent right, the fretboard isnt rosewood, combined with the fact that its REAL easy to grab an old used Edge, locking nut and some gotoh tuners off reverb leads me to be really suspicious about the whole thing.
Yeah, unfortunately didnt see the "NGD" post until well after I looked the thing over honestly. That said, I've been dabbling in wood working for over 20 years now; thats pretty clearly luan to me; which is a very inexpensive and very available lumber over in asia. But if hes happy with it, so be it.I can't remember what thread it was in, but Rich had said essentially as long as the neck pocket is stamped then it would be worth the risk. But from those pictures you sent, it could possibly be a fake. But only based on the dimarzio logo. Wood color varies. Especially given the drastic difference in lighting. Too late now though, he bought it weeks ago.
So lemme get this straight... Im wrong, despite showing objective proof and examples, simply because "you said so"? Im not quite understanding how youre incapable of seeing the differences with the pickguard; of everything I've shown thats like... the most obvious mate. Like its not even the same shape lol. And If thats whats "lowering my reputation", then... sure man. At any rate, the differences are VERY clear and obvious, and you can choose how you wish to interpret them, its truly no skin off my butt here.Wait, let me check... yeah. Yeah, thought so... yeah you are!

But as others have said, the guy bought the guitar a while back and is happy enough with it. All you're serving to do now is reduce your already low reputation on the site...
Well seeing as we're 'measuring', I've been dabbling in woodworking for over 30 years and I know that a piece of roughly finished alder can look like a piece of various other light brown woods especially when it's poorly lit in one photo compared to a different piece of wood in another well lit photo.Yeah, unfortunately didnt see the "NGD" post until well after I looked the thing over honestly.
