Jem7RB UK

The one on my old Patrick Eggle was removed with the help of a small pin hammer and gently tapping it loose,GENTLY TAPPING

Big hammer,and heavy swings are bad

Rob

I dunno Wes,As you maybe aware the guitar actually sits at an angle to the neck Althou comfy,I can't get my head round it,I have enough trouble doing a standard RG type body

Rob

As the topic suggests,It's just beyond my skills,due to the un-uniform nature of the neck pocket,I'm just all afloat

Please someone help me afore i go insane

Regards

Rob

Chrome DiMarzio's are a damn sight harder to get hold of than Jem single's (inc breed/evo matched singles)

I would'nt trade the Jem single tho dude,Your right to keep hold :-) I'm hoping to get a set of brand new (kinda) mint Chrom Fred/PafPro from a damaged j290th :-)

I just lurve chrome stuff :-)

Rob

In theory you should lose some sustain and tone and yada yada, but you're really not removing a great deal of wood, and i doubt you'd notice any tonal difference other then in your head.

I agree,And posted similar comments on Jem**te <-- What a great effort lol

Rob

No worries dude :-)

Rob

They look like the real deal dude,I have a set of chrome evo's from a Jem 10th, and they are stamped v2 and something else,possibly b1 i can't remember

Rest assured,they are genuine DiMarzio's,wether ot not they are in fact evo's i can only guess

HTH

Rob

I noticed this on my Les Paul,and it kind of cured itself once i fitted schaller tuners,It really is as stable as you can get without it being locked

HTH

Rob

top work dude

Rob

Some people cut the lead to length before soldering, others cut after soldering. I've done both. The "proper" (ie: SkillsUSA competition judgers, which include certified technicians and people from NIDA) way is to do the former. So the solder encloses the entire lead, to prevent oxidation.

How? on Earth? do you cut AFTER soldering? Am i being dumb here? Point2point i cut to rough length,tin,solder job done I.E. Pot to Switch for example

But say a pickup,Once the lead is soldered there is no way to cut it to length

I'm all confused

Rob (help me)

Scott ... You got mail (hopefully) lol

Rob

Hi Scott,I'm an occasional poster/browser,Thats a sweet looking 7,Did you do the mahogany/maple droptop in blue,I kinda remember seeing it

I'd love to have a rg7 body that sweet,Thats some killer work indeed

Anyhoo,must get off to stripping my rg7 down,Just won't look as nice as that :-(

Regards

Rob

Can i post an unfinished project? I dunno i'm just dumb and still new here

Rob

I have a choice of Beat up Epiphone neck (needs refretting due to someone else :-( )

Or an Aria Pro 2 neck ... Email me for a price and you location for shipping etc ...

If you need any ref's please ask the Lads on Jemsite(there are a few here whom may vouch for me)

Regards

Rob

These i have used on both my Jem-a-likes ... There not perfect but easy to apply and only really close inspection shows them to be non-original

HTH

Rob

Thanks guys,I was kinda embaressed about putting on here

But your comments are cool

Rob

Why is it always the new members that demand headstock logos and CAD plans??

I have'nt,got all the logo's i need see,Have no use for CAD yet either

Have i restored your faith in newbie's yet ? ;-)

Rob

Brian thats really interesting,I'd be willing to give it a bash,but i'll see if i can't find some locally...I'm on the verge of making a neck,but i've kinda lurked on here,And Universal for quite sometime getting snippetts of info that will help,Dunno how much help i can give out but i'm gonna start being a little more pro active

Kind Regards

Rob

(Oh and how do i submit my re-fin,monkey gripped ibanez jem-copies for the gallery?)

I dunno,if these 2 are worthy of some of the fantastci work here,I'm genuinely inspired by all of the work i have seen on this site ... You're all an inspiration to me to better my workmanship

Here they are Jem7MBK (oringinally 450 body,550neck,genuine pbk scratchplate,chrome DiMarzio Evo's,chrome hardware,and Duncan sds-1,Textured Black*metallic*)

And Jem7DPV (originally rg560,DiMarzio Paf-Pro's and hs-2 s/coil,550ltd scratchplate,Textured ParmaViolet colour)

Any comments are welcome,as is any advice *like give up* :-)

Regards

Rob

Last what color pickguard would look good with a dark mahogany guitar?

I'd suggest either of the following,

1,chrome(coloured chrome is cool) with standard black pickups and knobs

2,Black Guard with white pickups/knobs etc...

(edited due to me being have asleep and seelong eferythong rong)

What did you do so the paper wouldn't wrinkle around the edges of the body?? Did you wet it first?

Nice job, I'd prefer some Hustler pics

No water was used,the corners were actually sliced(thinly with a very sharp blade) and over lapped slightly,with the idea being once the rest had been finished it'd be right up against the edges and keep it looking "semi" proffesional lol

I did start a "hardcore" xxx finish for a friend,but he's dissapeared so it's on hold :-(

Regards

Rob

roflmao

Jeremy,Yay it is slice's of comic book

And yay i did do it myself,and have done a few for freinds

Kindest regards
