agreed with above

would save time(which=$) on the CNC to not even do a bridge route and just screw the bridge to the top of the guitars, which is what I think they do.

Well, true. I just guessed since they do often make the same model that has the tight end, also have a tremmed version. But i have no clue really to be honest

Ehm these mockups arent actual photos, you know

This humongous pic makes it look a lot like a regular photo, though. If this is a mockup then it's by far the very best I ever saw.

I don't know, I know I may be ignorant but that bridge just looks so hideous that I'd rather deal with my stays-in-tune-well-enough bridges I use now. Just me though.

I agree that design wise, it is severely lacking in some decent aesthetic quality, but there are some instruments it looks good on, like the ESP Eclipse, or imagine it on that new RGD

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

I cant be the only one. Who else is thinking about picking one up?


I still remember the dissapointment after i first saw videos of vai playing and ran off to check to see if there was a 7 string jem, but no longer will that be an issue for todays children.

Sooo, whos getting one? Thoughts?

 

[Jzbass25]

I would love one... or 12... but I need to focus on school/getting a job at the moment haha. I am excited that they finally did this since I've always wanted a 7 string version too

Think it is gonna be way overpriced. Besides I prefer the look of the RG1527.

Yeeeha!! same just posted my NGD of mine!

It's a very nice guitar I'd like to own but I'm afraid the price tag won't be worth it. For me anyway. I'd rather get a 2K5 custom than a 2K5 Ibanez, at that price point Ibanez isn't really a good brand for me. Their strength is in the 800-1200 bracket.

 

[Jzbass25]

I just really can't stand my 1527 not having a handle, it sounds dumb, I know, but now that I have a jem I really miss the handle when I pick up any other guitar. I use it a ton, it saves my bad shoulder muscles some strain when pulling it off my hanger too

 

[Dayn]

It's either that, or the Prestige S7. I only have two concerns: will it be AANJ or square-heeled? And will I be able to handle that middle pickup?

The floral JEM7V I played was ruined by the square heel, and I just seem to stuff up when presented with a middle pickup. I always keep tapping it with my pick, I've just been so used to having a space there. Ahh, first world problems... But despite that, I'm seriously considering getting one.

I'll import it myself, though. Fuck the 2k price hike.

 

[UV7BK4LIFE]

I like the JEM 7string. I was wondering for years why they didn't make one earlier. I'm not getting one though. Playing deathcore on that guitar would be just as worse as getting a Squire Hello Kitty strat.

I hate what they did to the new greendot UV model. 5 piece neck with walnut, made in Indonesia It's not even a prestige model. Ridiculous.

If anything that photo is a perfect example of how its been edited. Look at
the output jack route and the top edge of the cutaways. noticed how glossy it is and the rest of the guitar isn't? They have removed the high gloss reflections to try and show the wood grain.
That photo looks terrible on my monitor

The left side of the gutar's fake binding isn't quite right.

i could imagine it on the new RGD, and i still think the tight end R would suit it better

 

[wookie606]

Me too.

I thought VRG was dead? :/

I've seen Ibanez mockups for models long before they were built, like the galaxy white limited edition RG2228A. They do a solid job with their mockups.
