Jsut a little warning: if you play it and it feels strange -> don't worry -> usually guitars at guitar-stores are not set-up! I bought a JEM which felt totally strange at store, but i got it home, did a setup and now it plays like butter
 JEM is JEM -> nothing to be worried about! And if you try a whammy bar and it goes out f tune, it means the lockers were not locked  Have fun man and i am glad we are getting another JEM-er in the club

QUOTE (Crazyfret @ Dec 13 2007, 03:58 PM)  I must confess I didn't know what it looked like so I'd googled it. Nice guitar, tho I'm not sure about the 'handle'. I also didn't realise it had scooped frets where the neck is bolted to the body! The only guitarist I knew who had scooped frets was Ritchie Blackmore. Good luck with the purchase The handle is just a design trick and i like it a lot - really adds some touch to the guitar Last 4 frets are scalloped and there are a lot of guitars scalloped nowadays

What does the scalloped frets do that is benefical? I have wondered about this and since you mentioned it about the Jem I thought I would ask.

We had loads of topics on scalloped frets - it's a matter of preferences, but to me - it improves the access and feeling of high frets. It's easier to fret high frets if they are scalloped.
