Well, as the title says, Im planning to build a jem, of course I will post pics
now my plans are to work the whole summer ( I don't earn much money cuz im 17)
With the money I earn I will build myself a nice guitar.
for the parts I saw the site of jemparts the only problem is that I can't find a descent neck.
Im looking for the pyramid neck.

im thinking about swirling because I did it before and It is not that hard, but I also like the colors
desert yellow and shocking pink.

any thoughts ?

Greetings

Your idea sounds great! smile.gif
I wish I could tackle project like that.
Maybe you can find a used neck on ebay or craiglist?


Swirl painting sounds awesome. It can look very effective.

I'll be following this thread to see the progress wink.gif

so yesterday started with the plans, today did some research:

- found a body on a site of patrick sims

this one is 450 dollars but it is already painted.

I could get it complete without electronics and tremolo for 950 but that wouldn't make sense
I looked further for a plain body :

wich brought me to this 2 , both 165 dollars







main difference is the squere heel, I need to overthink that, what do you guys think ?
