john: go for it!!, I dont know if that will work or not, but you are walking in to the unknown (al least form me), and thats is cool. That is the way new things get done (discovered, invented, etc).
Hi
I was bored waiting for the parts to complete the neck of my fist project (custom Jem/ProAxe) when a friend gives me an old Ibanez Roadstar II neck. Because this neck will not match that project (having regular joint, 22 frets, and no way to put a locking nut cos the truss rod nut get in the way). I started my second project to make a body for this neck.
And this is what a got so far:

bowser back to your question I sugest you buyng a RG5xx new from music123 or used from evilbuy and make it a custom jem, in the end you will have a bettrer guitar and will cost you only 100$ more
after my second or third project, I think I will be doing RG/JEM bodies too, of course made of caribean woods (mahogany, purpleheart, cocobolo, algarrobo, etc)
