Happy Birthday!!!!! to John, Chandlerpelhams and Lafeeverte

this could be the only day in the year we have 3 BDays on the same day!!

one day i've gotta do a jem like this

i'm really lovin the fiery 7 :ph34r:

wow that's really great work!!!!!

really, as a guitar i'd like to play i prefer the first

don't know which finish i prefer though

they remind me of fire and ice :ph34r:

not my style of guitar but man these look good!!!!

:ph34r:

i was waiting for someone to say that

still nobody has voted that they like the album in any way

lol

yeah, not necessary

but some people like to do it

and some people like to see it

that's what i'm saying

it's not that it's not good enough for the person though

it's like smashing up a cool car to make an awesome scene in a movie :ph34r:

the 'stars' do give away a lot of guitars

but it can be fun to watch someone get 'crazy' in a song

i see what your saying,

that a guitar takes on personality and becomes like a person

and i agree in a way

but to me it's more like i'm pouring my soul into the guitar each time i play it

and it becomes a part of me if i want it to

it feels more like an extension of myself rather than another separate entity

so to me i don't mind throwing around a guitar that isn't a 'part of myself'

because it's just wood and metal(yes i think wood has a certain energy too but let's not get too deep)

and if i want to throw a guitar that i feel is a part of myself

that's ok cos there will always be other guitars that become a part of me

we are constantly losing and gaining energy, it's a part of our lives

however if i did something bad to a guitar i really really love, i'd definitely regret it

i'm not saying anyone should or shouldn't do it

this is just how i feel at this point in time

congrats!!

LMAO!! wait til he sees this

he'll be overjoyed i bet!!

STEVE VAI!!!!!

here's some really good info on the new edge pro trems

and on replacing the studs

the problem with the studs is that ibanez japan decided to downgrade to non locking studs

IMHO an extremely stupid move just to save a little

they have sacrificed ibanez's reputation for staying in tune perfectly and having really good trems all because of a little stud

meanwhile, everyone else (Jackson, ESP, EB/MM, Peavey, Kramer etc.) seem to have done nicely without locking studs. I'm guessing that's why Ibanez got rid of them. they were over-engineered. it's not a stupid move, it's a smart move. we won't notice any difference in performance. at least I won't. then again, maybe you notice a difference in tuning stability between a Jackson SL1 and an Ibanez JEM7VWH?

if there was no difference in performance there would be no problem

and i agree with wes there's no such thing as overengineering

there's a big difference ie. locking studs keep perfect tune

non locking .....don't, many have found their guitars going out a quarter or half step or more!

ibanez have a reputation for the best double locking trems in the world

now with their new guitars they have become average

how is this a smart move?

they'll end up losing a lot of sales

i love going crazy on a trem but i expect it to be able to keep in tune

if it doesn't then that's what i call a performance difference

just MHO though

i'm with the greenman on this issue

i'll never buy from ed roman.....too much risk

ooohhh bargain!!

I don't really have a problem with it

throwing a guitar around makes for a great stage performance

and if your getting free guitars why not?

sure you're not gonna damage your favourites

but why not a backup if it's your thing

alchool, are you saying Vai and Hendrix don't REALLY love guitars?

welcome dude!!

prices, i'm not exactly sure

ask Rich at the site i linked to before

and try the http://www.jemsite.com/ forum

there's always some in the for sale section over there

IBANEZ!!

the edge and lo pro edge are probably the best trems ever

if setup properly you can get away with murder and stay in tune

the new ibanez edge pro trems are good too but you have to replace the studs to get the best outta them
