Im just about finished another project that Ill post some pics of in the next few days. Music Man have recently released a line of Officially Lisenced Products, named naturally OLP. They do a great copy of the Axis which was of course Eddie Van Halens previously endorsed guitar. Only problem with it is it doesnt come with a Floyd trem. It has a piece of crap Fender style unit that doesnt work or even look good. Well Ive always wanted a EVH Music man but couldnt quite justify the $4000 Australian price tag. So out come the powertools and the tape measure. $300 for the axe with 'fake' maple top. $80 for the Floyd Rose Locking trem off Ebay, and one bucket of patience. You really have to look twice to see that this isnt the real deal. and the crazy thing is it plays better than my Ibanez SC420 hardtail. If anyone is interested Ill post some pics.

In gallery one, page 1 there is a guitar titled 'Chrome Jem' ; its the purple/green one. Is that the type of pickup routing that your talking about? I can see that the original routing is alot bigger than the real jem style. But that doesnt look too bad. I didnt notice it until I read your post and went looking for some pics. Is yours bigger than that? I can hardly wait until the morning to get my first look at it. I feel like a little kid again waiting for Christmas morning. My wife's not gonna be impressed tho. Maybe its time to go and tell her Im getting 'another' guitar (better stop off and pick up some flowers on the way). hehe.

What about the chrome finished headstock logo? Anyone have a solution as to where that can be sourced?

Thanks Brian. You know how when you are growing up, your parents are the most un-cool thing in your life? Everything from the way they dress to their taste in music?.................................I was over at my parents place a week or two ago helping them clean out my old bedroom and what should I find? An old cotton quilt cover that they used to have on their bed 15 years ago. half of it has been cut up and used for cleaning cloths but the other half is still intact..............................its black with a large pink floral pattern. I knew Id seen it somewhere before. My parents were cool even before Steve Vai!!!!!!!!! I just didnt know it.

First post and I just thought I should introduce myself. Ive been lurking around here for a while, trying to take it all in...................so much info! Im about to buy a second hand rg570...........see it tomorrow for the first time. Its apparently in very good condition and cheap too. From what Im told it has the square neck joint, edge trem, V7, V8, and what ever the single coil that matches is. Does that sound right? I want to undertake the 'jem' transformation with a Material top and clear pick guard. Ive found a fabric thats is pretty close to the Floral pink/black jem top, but just wanted to know if this is a decent model to start with? Ive read about the monkey grip, neck joint, lion claw and jack socket mods................what else do I need to do to get my 'personalised jem' happening? Thanks in advance.
