Same. I’ve played several guitars that were top-notch, but the Jem 7V remains the best guitar I’ve ever played, and it was also at a Guitar Center. Really wish I’d had the cash to snag it at that time before they were discontinued.

Just picked up an Ibanez RG4EX1 for CHEAP CHEAP. It had been just sitting in a corner or around somewhere neglected and forgotten about for who knows how long, strings were so tetanus it was frightening and the frets so tarnished. It's all cleaned up now and set up and i forgot what a pain the floating trems were to set up (haven't had one in since 88-89) but it is truly awesome. Seen the vid with the review you did of the Rev. Willy's #7's and decided to try them on it and absolutely love them.

Hey Dave, got a chance to listen last night, I always save videos for later watching, really enjoyed watching you play. You are truly an engineer of the many facets of your chosen craft in life. Watching you express yourself reminds me of an old movie with Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood ... Brainstorm 1981. In the film, there's a machine which can record brainwaves so that others can experience them. Natalie Wood puts a recorder unit on and deftly plays a JS Bach (or Mozart) piano piece while her husband Christopher Walken experiences her brainwaves. He is apparently exhilarated and then says "I've always wanted to know what it was like to play like that". In an odd way, watching you play is like that... because you are enjoying it so much, there seems no pretension, one can almost feel the "brainwaves". It's possible Charlie as well as many other lifemates are smiling as you play. Enjoy life! :-) Sorry for the ramble, John

SNAP! I own one of these too and can confirm it's a fantastic guitar! Bit fiddly with the floyd if you're not used to setting them up. But if a clumsy idiot like me can manage it then anyone can. Love the pick-ups in the Jem Jr. Particularly with the option for single coil tones on the five way selector. So many tonal opportunities just on the guitar itself. If you're that kinda player who likes to roll down the volume for cleans etc, this guitar does that and more. Plays great, sounds great, looks great. Total package. Looking forward to hearing it more in your hands. Rock on Dave! ✌

After watching and listening carefully to this video, I think that the sound of this guitar might be between (it is a very personal opinion though) a Stratocaster and a Gibson, fatter than a Strat thinner than a Gibson...and I am very impressed by its clean sound... A-ma-zing, yes, indeed. The bridge and nut with that system, by Floyd Rose, has always been very popular (especially at the beginning of the 90's) but in my experience, I helped just once a friend change the strings of his guitar, it took me ages and, in few words, I wouldn't like to repeat it (different folks... different strokes)... The one and only thing missing from this video (to make this superb performance an unbelieveble and surrealistic experience) is ... (Oh gosh... I don't know if I should say it, O.K. let's go) Is that, after the whole performance, at the end of the video, the cam focused on the Count Orlok (the poster hanging on the wall) and this character came to life and said (with a strong cockney accent): -"Hey dudes, what'cha're looking at??? I'm like you... Scared to death!!!" But apart from that, grrreat guitar and magnificent performance... In fact, It is... Thumbs up...
