  • Wow...i dont remember ever playing an Ibanez better

    than this one! (but then i always owned the $350 RG's back in the day)
    Just scored this one from Hippietim! In near Mint condition, and
    what a shred machine! The DiMarzios are much tamer than the Custom/5
    of my Charvel, but nothing a bit of EQ boost wont take care of.
    What a Hammer/on/Pull Off neck! Could a neck be thinner? I doubt it.
    I still like my CS HRF Charvel, and PC-1 better as they have more balls
    in the PUPS...but boy is this one sweet fast neck! Anyway just wanted to
    share getting a real "Floral JEM" from back in the heyday of Metal!
    Thanks again Tim! Oh...and these low profile Trems on these Jems
    sure stay in tune! You can dive bomb the strings completely off the neck
    and it comes right back! Thinner overall in tone compared to the Charvels, but the neck could not be better...i mean Butta! I think this is
    an 89' model?

        Doesn't one of the guys in Slayer play one of those?

            As for Ibanez necks being thinner, try the "Wizard" that's a neck profile thinner than the JEM neck profile...

              The first jem necks I thought were modeled after the shape of vai's green meanie charvel.

                Nice score. That was supposed to be my guitar a while back!!
                Its a real collectors piece. Take care of it and don't modify it at all!!

                  I own an RGR570 (same neck profile, same tremolo, I don't know very much about the woods) and has the thinner nek I have ever tried, but I prefer Rhoads' neck, I feel it more comfortable. That floreal painting it's not my thing, definitely... but I love the red pots!!

                    I've seen that backyard before

                    Congrats on the guitar - I'm glad you like her. Oh, and sorry again that the A string was out of tune
                    I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

                      ************* Thanks, it will be gently played, and NOT modified
                      ever! As far as i know, there are only about 4 of these for sale anywhere,
                      and the other 3 are nicked up, and in pretty poor shape! Ed Roman
                      has one, NOT as clean as this one of Tims, and he wants $3K for it.
                      Yes, i SCORED!!!!!!!!!

                          And another insight after playing this one for 4 hours.. the "licensed by
                          Floyd Rose" trem is the best ive ever played! Whats up with this? I can
                          slack the strings completely off the fretboard, let go of the trem, and
                          its back in tune! Amazing. Are all upper end Ibanezs like this? I may
                          try to snag another recessed JEM?

                            That looks awesome, I really love those floral JEMs, nothing else quite like them. Congrats.
