hey

i was looking for a jem on ebay and i came across this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....7310994730&rd=1

i think its pretty cool, and i was just wondering what you lot think about it. i know its pretty cheap, but it looks solid and looks accurate, so i dunno, i might get one to keep me busy during the summer holidays.

what dya guys think?

i would definatly get one
because like ya said thats cheap man considering it an ibanez type body and neck i mean just imagine what it looks like when its done.
i say go for it

eh, could be some really shit Korean made stuff, but hey for £75, you can't lose. As long as he can tell you the exact specs. of the body/neck he's selling, and as long as you can get a refund.

Dont get it, thats not an Ibanez.. just some shitty Korean bullshit.

not worth a cent.

probably isnt worth it.
i would be nice to know the body wood too...

That pic looks ok but what you actually get might have knots and splits. If it is a fast CNC route then it more then likely will have some spec probems. I believe I could make it worth playing but I know it would take some work too. For 75 though, why not give it a shot. I bet you will learn a lot about guitars from it.

I dissected this pos for you..

dont spend any money on it, their are way better kits. Ignore any positive statements please.

Most likely the wood is also unsealed for the neck will probably arrive warped. I dont even want to know how sloppy the truss rod route is.

yea, ino its not perfect, but come on its cheap, and i need sumthing to do in the holidays, im only buying it to make...ok, i will play it after its done...but still... :P

I'de find somthing better and spend a little more money... in the long run you'll be happy you did.

yea, ino what you guys are saying is true, but i just want something cheap but looks good to work on as a project

this aint gonna be my main guitar, just something to work on, and its good that its good minor faults on it, its means i can get more experience correcting them

ok, have fun then mate I'd like to make a guitar project like that sometime.

yea, its really cool, you can really experiment with shit, ya kno, i mite actually try and properly mod it up...i'l see tho

Fine waste your money, just dont come here bitching after I gave you plenty reason's NOT to purchase that.

i know i said a posotive statement earlier
but now come to think of it BLS has got a point i didnt realise it was such
cheap material.
but its your decision.

You are fucking retarded.

User01, just follow my advice.

• Email the seller about the body and neck, and get their exact specifications
• Make sure you can get a refund
• When the shittiness arrives at your door,have some money handy to send it back

cheap material, crappy frets and bad wood. thats what comes to mind when I see a deal like this, hehe

tell me why you said that please

btw, if it does fuck up, i wont come "bitchin' ", i would be kicking my self for not listening to you guys

Look at it like a learning experience. You can practice working on this one and not worry about fucking it up so much. Learn how to adjust a truss rod, even refret, set frets, leveling frets, crowning frets, refinishing a guitar, setting up a bridge, setting up a nut, drilling and filling wood, making correct measurments, repairs, routing... You will learn what a guitar needs, and feel more comfortable doing it, by playing with this one. At least if you fuck it up while working on it, or it just turns out to be junk, you will have learned what makes a guitar good with out ruining a good one. You might even eventually make this one worth playing.

Good luck

thank god, sum1 see's it the way i do and isnt bitching about how the only guitar you should get is something which is over a grand

I still say get a RAN too, but you will need to know how to work on it. Doing it yourself will cost much less If you can make that guitar worth playing then you will have no problem working on a good guitar.
