Wow!
That is super nice. :yesway:
looks really nice :agreed:

I thank you a lot guys.

We organised a modest meeting&guitar clinic for one of a national guitar hero in Turkiye named Ergin Altinel*. He played with Red Jem, too (he generally plays his BRMR).

Here is very short shot of Red Jem;


*: www.erginaltinel.com


so was this built for you or did you build it ?
It was built for a customer, not for ourselves :( She is is far away now and i start to miss her... Because, sonicly, we saw "sh" was much better than 77BRMR. Especially on the clean passages, it was truely obvious.

I really like it...
but...
why not red pickups?

It was totally how the customer desires, not ourselves. If it was, i'd go for PAF Pros not evolutions. And red/black also might look cool. Next thing you know is finding "colored" p.u.s in Turkiye is extremely difficult&rare. Our DiMarzio distributor is not as good as other countires', imo.

Trem angle?

May you please point me where do you mean with rough edges?

And inlays were carved and inlayed some kind of nitrocellulosic paint to achive translucent effect, not pen or something like that.

The inlays are not actually inserted into the fretboard but are painted on?

It is the upper plastic shield to cover the entire pickguard avoid from scratching before owner gets her.
