It's just a matter of time before you divorce your wife and marry your guitar biggrin.gif


When(!) I get rich I'll buy one of those!
Smikey2006

The only thing I can't understand about the JEM is the monkey grip. Bit of a joke, or it is to me really... I mean who's going to be walking down a sidewalk with their JEM by that handle!

Of course as they say, people hate on what they can't afford tongue.gif
Pavel
I love it! The guitar looks much more interesting that way! smile.gif

I don't like the grip either .. but i LOVE that fantastic inlays ... really hot .. and it seems that guitar is a jack at all trades device on a high level biggrin.gif

Looks cool, but I'm afraid I find this:

Pavel

Yeah i agree, the JEM is a awesome guitar. I dont like ibanez guitars tho. A PRS is way cooler smile.gif But still i love my strats smile.gif

We dont get indie guitars in south africa sad.gif
Owen
They're a brand primarily based in Scotland I think. Although they cater for most the UK.

Whilst you could argue over what looks better, I dont think you could argue over the price tag, the Indie is half as much for the same quality. smile.gif

However, it is all preference tongue.gif
Victafor
im buying one of those. my dad owns a business and i get 1000$ for every contract i get him! but its hard to get one so wish me luck
Sergeant_Ant
If i had a JEM id so carry it around everywhere with me... like hey everyone, look at my guitar! its AMAZING!

"For the axe, for the JEM, for the mountains...." biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif slightly changed Rhapsody's lyrics!!!

JEM is the coolest looking guitar with "tree of life" inlay! cool.gif tongue.gif .. oh forgot to mention - Luca Turilli's guitar also has that inlay and it's also amazing! (the one in my avatar)



I love this one!
Owen
I love the tree inlay, its really nice in general.

I just like the colours on the aforementioned guitar which are a bit more vibrant. tongue.gif

Unfortunately I can't afford £600 worth of guitar at the moment, so I'm just lusting V_V

If someone put that Inlay on the attachment's kind of guitar I'll sell my car and tv to get it ...

But for real .. the Jem is really fine ... perhaps we make a new thread for inlay discussing tongue.gif *G*

I love this one. It is in a Warrior guitar.
Toni Suominen
I have drooled over a JEM for quite some time now. Great review and guitar Andrew! smile.gif
Ivan Milenkovic
Nice review Andrew. Thats is sure one quality made guitar. I personally don`t like signature models as they can be pricey but this guitar is great for sure.
Andrew Cockburn
Thanks guys - this is still my main axe, I love it!
Tomotoms
Amazing guitar.

With signature models does anyone feel worried about being compared to the player that the guitar was made for?
Pavel
Never had that problem! I know a guy who bought a JEM and didn't even know who Vai was biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Andrew: what happened to Variax? wink.gif

Its still a part of my guitar library - in my new place I have more room for all my guitars so maybe I'll play it a little more often ... but the Jem is still #1 !!
