Ibanez Jem DNA

[Tonelover]

Ibanez swirls, you either love them or hate them. This is a 2000 DNA model in which they put a bit of Steve Vai's blood in to the paint, thus the name and themed fretboard inlay. A bit more than I was looking to spend on a guitar but GC had it at one of their stores for a price that was too good too pass up and it arrived in dead mint condition. I was going to sell it quick to make a few bucks but decided to keep it for now because I won't be able to replace it for anywhere near what it cost me and I definitely don't mind it kicking around the house for a while.

Looks pretty cool. I never paid close attention to the inlays on these till I just saw the last pic you posted. I think the inlays look even better than the DNA Swirl itself!

[Axewielder]

Kickass, where the hell do you find a GC who is blowing out JEM DNA's?!?

[gfunk333]

Woot! Woot!

Kickass!



Guitar centre? DNA? Price too good to pass up?

My thoughts exactly ......

Is it wrong to be just a little creeped out by another's BLOOD in the guitar paint??

I browse their listings daily and saw it shortly after it was posted. Didn't try to haggle, I just paid as quickly as I could. Funny thing is that he said it had been in their store for a month with no takers, as soon as it went online he got at least four calls within a few hours.

I think that is the coolest guitar Ibanez ever made.

Swirl connisseurs are a particular bunch. This one has a good bit of black on the bottom front so I'd personally give it an 8 or 8.5 out of 10 on the swirl scale, but it has lots of colors elsewhere and is still pretty impressive. I've seen better and I've seen worse but it suits me just fine.

Nah, we got used to it from back in the days when KISS put blood in the ink in their comic book

the colours in it make my eyes funny...not my cup of tea really...they've done a good job for what it is tho...i think if it had less colours it would be great ...less red/brown

That's amazing. I've always wanted to swirl one of my guitars.

Cool JEM but not for $6K. Or any guitar for that matter.
