I should show you a friend of mines JEM collection. You would be blown away. He has that one as well. While they are not my style, I love that they are over the top and proud of it.

Yeah, I'd love to see that.

Howie is loading up the 105mm howitzer...
:run:

 

[reverend1]

Yeah, I'd love to see that.

I think he has around 30 or so. Crazy one of stuff, some of it is really off the wall. Quite a few Japan only model too.

I remember walking into Rolls Music in Falls Church VA when that thing came out and being blown away buy it. That store was run by douchebags, so they wouldn't let you touch it unless you looked like you could afford it. Being 16 or 17 at the time, I didn't qualify as worthy enough to try it out, so I have never played one. I don't think I play anything that would suit that guitar, but one day I would like to have one.

Is Howie the one that hates Ibanez?

 

[BlackCat]

Have mercy on an old man. Explain to me what the monkey grip is for.

No. Prages hates Ibanez. Howie just bought an Ibanez....

Cool guitar. Very Steve Vai over the top style.

It allows you to use the guitar as a weapon when people jump up on your stage.

That must be the reasoning behind this.

I love the original versions of the JEM. I've not played any of thew newer versions, but those first run guitars were amazing. I'll never sell my JEM7RB.

Naw, this is just his thread unless he wills it to someone else.

I've always wanted a Root Beer one!

Here is a shot of the old girl.

That's my favorite one in Ken's collection.

 

[Muppet]

That is so sweet!

 

[Knox in Box]

I would have loved that back then. Still do in a "I like that someone else has it." way.

I would love to have a Dean Cadillac as well.

 

[Muppet]

I really want to do a replica of this so that I can play it out. This one doesn't leave the house. There's a guy named Christopher woods that does custom Jems, and Sims does bodies in this color. Any other people I should know about?
