I hope these links work, keep in mind im not the best photographer.
Well now to talk about the guitar. First mistake was WRONG CASE! But I can live with it I guess but Matt (from Matt's Music Center) said UV1000C so I wasn't expecting it to be different, apparently they're using MC100 for JEM's this year and Matt didn't even open it up to check if it has the right case, shipped it straight away (generally is this bad? shouldn't they open to check everything?) And the ziplock bag was broken, not a real biggy.
Cosmetically she is perfect, absoulutely stunning and couldn't be happier but I ordered blind and had never seen or played one, just heard reviews from here, and I never realised how small it is, looks huge in pics. She feels good aswell besides very minor little dings in the back of the neck, like someone has just got a pin and hammered the pin in very slightly 4 times.
The other thing I'm not happy with is (probably my technique) but my pinch's arent as lively on this guitar, and other harmonics also die out soon, the pickups are pretty low. When I pinch it squeels but then the vibration of the A and D strings takes over and it sounds horrible. Another thing is the Edgepro, I can't seem to use it well, maybe it's the trem or me, I dont know. but when playing something like the chorus of bad horsie where u tap on the bar and you flutter it for the notes you play, I get alot of noise from the E A and D strings and it drowns out what im playing on the higher strings. Ohh well, best guitar I'll probably ever have.
By the way the reason I didn't buy from Rich is... I'm stupid. When I went to look very quickley for prices on JEM's I checked Rich's site and saw $2700 for a JEM and didn't bother to read the fine print to see I had to ask for a quote and thought to myself "no setup is worth $900". My bad, I didn't realize that it was only $100 or so more until 1 week before the JEM came, horror mistake, I know better now.
