Details & History

A Very Nice couple of guitars, the white one is a JEM7VWH from 2002
, the Other is a JPM Special from 1998.

{Here's the full story on the JPM and its many faces. Thanks again Yann. Ed!}

 

I will tell you the full story of the JPM.
At the beginning, it was a RG 507 from Japan.
Once upon a Sunday I decided to paint
the guitar in order to have a small grey triangle
on the body. Here is the pic of the first
customisation of it :
 
 
Then, I wanted to have coloured pyramids on the neck.
I bought the paint and I painted the yellow
triangle with the eye and also the pyramids.
It is the pic on the left, here :
 
 
 
The pic on the right is about one year later.
I wanted to have a JPM / JEM. So, first,
I changed the pickups:
- Paf Pro on bridge
- Air Norton on neck
 
Then I rubbed out the yellow triangle with white spirit,
and I scotched coloured cardboards on the body
in order to have the JPM custom graphics.
I was happy, but it was not very easy to play
with the scotch !
So, I decided to go to "Guitar Garage" in Paris. The
guy is very competent and painted the body as
I wanted. I also changed the neck (JEM custom)
Here is the look after :
 
But it was not the finish customisation.
Then, I wanted to change the colour and to get back
the pink for the red, the dark green  for clear green and
to give it some blue colour: the look it has now is the look it
has on the lasts pics I send you. I have also bought a Lo pro Edge,
and replaced the old Edge.
