I had the opportunity to hold this guitar and the JS2k Crystal Planet that turned up as I was in store chatting to friends. Standing there holding the Jem in one hand and the JS in the other there defiantly was a touch of 'it shall be mine, oh yes! it shall be mine'. It took a little time and sadly the JS had already gone, but the Jem did become mine.
I'd rather sell a kidney then sell this baby.

Sweet guitar. Originally a Jem777sk I had Darren at ATD swirl this one for me in the original UV77MC colours and I just loved the result. other additions include green DiMarzio Evolutions with an original and at the time unused palm rest (not shown). Not a copy, this is all original Jem with an original Ibanez (ATD) paint finish.

Another original Jem777SK again painted by Darren Johansen from Ibanez (About Time Designs). This has just arrived and apart from the professional setup, has not been played. Green DiMarzio Evolutions and custom Reverse engraved headstock plate.

Excellent condition and a great player this was and so far is my only vine inlayed guitar, No problems finding your way around and if anything a lot more visible in dim stage lighting (hiding at the back) oh and it looks great to.

This is a real rare beastie, Its a Vinnie Moore signature model from 1987, I've only ever seen it in the 1990 catalogue and the story goes that only about 25 of each colour (SH splash & WH white) were made. It has a Floyd licensed Ibanez EDGE II trem which looks almost the same as the now legendary Ibanez EDGE, but is non locking. This is combined with Sperzel locking tuning machines. The Splash finish is of course unique and Vinnie had plenty of photographs with this model during the early albums including the cover of his 'Speed, Accuracy and Articulation' Video.

Although this is a non ATD swirl and the so call MKR 'Mustard Ketchup and Relish' Japanese swirl it is still a great example. and possible the best playing seven I have tried. not a bad swirl for a MKR either.

Quite possibly the rarest of the Universe's the 1997 UV77BK was very metal. Black body, black pickups, standard white dot inlays, nothing flashy about this one. Maybe that's why it was only made for a year...

Steve Lukather signature model and i have to say its as good as any jem i have played in oh so many ways. just a sweet sound, beautiful birds eye maple top and a finish that about a yard deep. seriously don't know the top end Roadstars till you've tried them, you will be very presently surprised.

Ah the 'very deadly looking' future of Rock. This guitar is actually quite the beast, apart from looking like something Buffy could use to good effect, it actually has all the bits in the right place and gives it all in the quality stakes.

Nice guitar, and a very clean example of the model. i actually prefer this pastel version to the rarer P1 primary colour model, just subtle enough.

Reb Beach signature model and this is the early quality version RBM1 not the later replacement RBM100 with the scratchplate. Strange that Steve Vai has signed this one, but hey, why not.

OK, so far I have seen just three of these worldwide, I also know its a very early model. I have talked to the artists and all so far seem to think its a model that was made as a run of samples to decide which designs to run with for full production. I guess that makes it rare. what I can say without question is that this is a great sounding and great looking guitar. Hang it on the wall or hang it around your neck and plug it in, it doesn't really matter which, both give excellent results.
