Meegs666 Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 ok, i'm building this guitar that is suppose to look like a jem. it's probably going to be nothing like the real thing, so i guess its more like a superstrat that has the stylings of a jem. the big problem at the moment is making a neck. see, im only 16 and so i am getting my father to help me since he has knowledge in using all the tools and such. he said that he refuses to destroy this piece of mahogany by just going in with no plans. he wanted me to find a blueprint to use. so i found a jem 777 blueprint (*thanx rich). ok, my dad has no idea what he is doing. he knows nothing about guitars. ive tried explaining the idea of scale to him. he just wont ever realize what im talking about. so ive decided that i am just goingt o buy a neck if i cant easily make this one and fit it to the body. does anyone have any tips to give me or know of a site that i can buy a 24 fret neck off of? all i can find for cheap is fender replacement necks:( i want a superstrat neck(ie jackson, ibanez) i refuse to buy off of warmoth. i want something pretty cheap.

krazyderek Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Jem Blueprints scroll to the bottom for blue prints, use the corel one to get the correct size to print, and yes you should be able to print it off at home in multiple sheets, or take it to a copy shop and they'll print it off for you for roughly 4$ Might actually be easier to make your own neck, or just keep an eye on ebay for a jem or rg neck, but make sure u make the right body for neck you do get, the all access necks are longer and need a different body then the old style jem neks...
