That's exactly the same as Pavel's guitar (unless he got an earlier model with an Edge Temelo rather than the Edge Pro).
Fantastic guitar and yes, that is how much it costs. In the U.K. the going rate is about £1,400 which is about $2,700 Yes it is an Ibanez. Here is a link to the review: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=4862 |

I too have a Jem 7v and it is an awesome guitar, but you do pay a premium for it.
If you want osmething that is pretty much as good for a cheaper price look at Ibanez prestige ranges, also check out my review of the Jem here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=4862 Its hard to beat if you want a fast guitar with a versatile sound, on the other hand, to me it doesn't have its own personality like an LP or a Strat. For Shred it is to be aspired to, for other styles - Meh, it works fine but may not be right for you. I personally have not regretted a second of its ownership, it is extremely high quality and plays great! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

If you want osmething that is pretty much as good for a cheaper price look at Ibanez prestige ranges, also check out my review of the Jem here: I was thinking of buying a JEM. But then I tested Ibanez prestige RGT 320q. This one is almost in JEM price range, but it is a even better guitar in my opinion. In other words, you do not pay the extra for being signature... By the way, here in Denmark I paid about the german price. In Brazil it would have been the Norway price or more This post has been edited by Gus: May 9 2008, 03:49 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Just forget about the Jem and get the Les Paul No, seriously, as the others already said, the price seems to be normal, but as always, my advice would be to try all of those guitars and then pick the one that you like most in the end.

Here the RGT 320q http://www.giggear.co.uk/home/index.php?m=...amp;prodid=3715 is more expensive than the JEM?!?
The RGT 320q looks really cool, but doesn't have any single coils (I prefer the pick-ups in the JEM too ) |
