Ibanez Jem appreciation thread...

[mystixboi]

I spent some time with my Jems today. These guitars are just fantastic. Great playability and tone. Love it... Post pics of your Jems!!!

Here are mine... A 2001 jem7vwh and a 1990 jem777dy

I loved my bsb jem until my dog ruined it. It inspired my mtm frankenbuild.

ok...I gotta know....how did your dog ruin your BSB Jem?

 

[Mudder]

I'm not crazy about the handle.

My wife locked him in my den when he was a puppy, and he chewed it.

Now what I had last year....

I would have loved (and still would) to have a BFP. Right now I have a 7VSBL and an original '88 JEM77FP. I'm probably going to sell the 7VSBL -- keep eyes on the classifieds.

Probably one of the few signature guitars that I would actually want to buy! Love JEM's!

I've tried to buy a BSB on multiple occasions, and heavily considered a regular gold/white one too...but I decided that I'll buy one later when I have some cash for a "fun guitar".

Here's mine

 

[garey77]

I had one of the black, textured ones... One of the best sounding/playing guitars I've ever owned... Totally made me love the Breed pups. I just couldn't get past the fake Phillips head screw inlays. It totally cheapened the guitar for me. I miss that guitar.

I sold the 777DVY,

Never should of sold that one.

I learned my lesson and kept my Universe`s. These ain`t going nowhere.

By the way Metlupass2,that JEM7PBK is (Was) the shit, of all of the ones you had, that would be my #1, awesome jem.

You assholes, I'm trying like a mother to show some restraint and NOT buy another JEM. My wife appreciates that. But you guys aren't helping the matter. A couple years ago I gave my Jem to my 12 year old nephew who absolutely rips on guitar. And I admit, it's the only guitar I sometimes miss.

Do they still hold that JemFest each year? I was at JemFest X and there were some very nice Jems, as well as other Ibanez, there.

Nice pics here...makes me a bit jealous.

Here's a pic of two of my three JEMs (I also have JEM7DBK) and my limited edition Rock Inn J Customs. Ibanez are some of the smoothest playing guitars around, especially the high end offereings. Jerome, go get yourself another JEM already.

Wow--formidable collection of 770DX's as well--I think that's on of the only DXVM's other than mine I've seen. Got me a '91 DXLB as well. Never was much for the Ruby Red...

 

[rupe]

The LNG was sold last summer but the BFP remains as the best sounding Jem that I've ever come across...much ballsier than any of the others that I've owned/played (and completely stock with the exception of an FU brass block).

I built this one myself for my son from a Perle swirled body and a PGM neck with a Super 3 (b) and Evolution . Its a great sounding and playing guitar but this was one or Perle's earlier bodies and leaves a bit to be desired from a fit and finish standpoint (neck pocket needed to be re-routed and he mistakenly routed for a middle single and filled it in rather than cut a new body. He never mentioned it either...by the time I noticed it, my son already hooked on the swirl and decided to keep it). Still an awesome player though.

I had the original 1990 Floral Pattern back in the day. It was definitely something that I regretted selling. That guitar was great, and oozes personality.
Great pics, guys

 

[garey77]

the new florals are badass

That voyager is sick.
