Jimm Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Wrong place to post this...Let the Mods mod. Yes basically the same less RG's are basswood and JEMs are Alder...All Jem's, with the exception of the VWH, VSBL, 10th and I believe the 90th, are basswood. otherwise, the JEM is not a bolt on neck.. but 'basically' the same.All Jems are bolt on necks. A little more research there, Albert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Jimm, The 10th and 90th are both basswood bodies as well. The only 2 non-basswood bodied JEM's are the VWH and VSBL. Differences between the JEM and RG are Monkey Grip Lions claw Input jack (the Jem has the tilted jack cavity) On the original body style neck joints the Jem had a fully recessed neck joint on the back where the RG was only angled.

Eeeeeeh....could be wrong. Probably am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorecki Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Instead of a 'box' around the tail of a bridge it's groved per string lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
