Ibanez Jem Design Contest loser.

Saw your design a while ago when I was always on Jemsite, couldn't wait to see it finished.

Came out very nice. You did a fantastic job.

Here's my custom in action for the first time last night at the pub. Excuse the crude iPhone photo, but I pinched this shot off a friends Facebook page. I was hoping to get some video of last nights gig to post up for you but it didnt work out. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out for this coming Friday and Saturday night gigs.

In between my legs there you can barely see my black les Paul standard and 7VWh. This new custom is so damn great that it has relegated my 7VWh to second fiddle. It sounds amazing, plays even more amazing. ETs has done an unbelievable job. To make something that feels even better than the real thing is quite an achievement. The MoJoe bridge pickup is awesome. Versatile and you can get some special harmonic feedback and awesome pinch harmonics. The sound is leagues away from my Other Jem. Both have their merits and downfalls though.


Oh...... And stainless steel frets are the effing bomb!!!! Effortless to play. Pure guitar porn.

Ironically, this picture gave me a finish idea for my own project

Beautiful work man! I've done some decal work on my guitars and know how tedious it is, but nothing of it even compares to the amount of work it must've been to do this one...

 

[Prydogga]

OHHHHH this was done by ET!? No wonder it's so good!

 

[HeavyMetal4Ever]

Simply incredible. You have missed your calling in life, you should be a guitar designer.

Rock on!

Why do JEM's have that handle thingy on the top? Guitar world's answer to the M-16 or something? I don't get it.

 

[Macka]

That's the monkey grip. Something Steve Vai put in his design and I'll tell you what, it's incredibly handy (pardon the pun). I always pick the guitar up out of it's case with it. You'll be surprised how much you do use it when you own one. Every guitar should have it IMO

in case you need a knuckleduster when playing in rough venues

[atticmike]

Dude, this is stunning!

The only thing that is a little irritating are the knobs after the knobs

okay, this is in the design for a reason. if you look at it sideways you'll see that it's steve vai and the four rings are his necklace that he always wears. The Volume/tone knobs are incorporated into it.

Knobs after the knobs LOL

Where did you get that cover? wow amazing work!

 

[Macka]

A guy in Indonesia makes them. If you're on Facebook then I can direct you to him. Some of his stuff is crazy cool man. PM me for details if you're interested. Cheap as hell too.

 

[Bribanez]

Looks better than the guitar that won!!

 

[Macka]

I'm a fan of the winning design. It's pretty cool looking though it caused a lot of controversy at the time over at the Jemsite for being fractal wallpaper cut and pasted from a free art website.... but still, I'd love to own one.

 

[floyo123]

awesome!

Hell yes the Jemsite is still relevant. Still have plenty of dudes in there and I guess it's just for us tragic jem fanatics....which is good.

 

[mystix]

very nice!!!

 

[yidcorer]

I saw that picture and I thought "Lol why does the guy have the Sony Vaio logo on his guitar"
