Only difference is the monkey grip (lol) and that they come with dimarzio pickups. And dimarzios are poo poo compared to something like a BKP. You're just paying for being able to pretend you're steve vai. Some folks like to collect Les Pauls. Some people like to collect Strats. I love Ibanezes. They have two-octave necks, the scale length I like, great deep cutaways for easy access to the higher frets, tilt-back headstocks for improved string tension, and a few of them have the all-access neck heel which I particularly like. These features were a big deal when they came out, and that's just when I was learning to play. To be fair, I could do without the trems and trem-routs, because I stopped using vibrato arms a long time ago; but if you are gonna have one, the Lo-Pro Edge and nice deep rout are the way to go, especially if you install the hardware to lock them. It's really very nice to put a light vibrato on a pretty chord, too. People playing Strats do it all the time. I promise you it has nothing to do with "pretending to be Steve Vai." JEMs were the high-prestige instrument from the beginning of the new line back then, and they are production models that don't say "Steve Vai" on them anywhere. I just fell in love with the whole RG line back in 1988 and that became my gold standard. Again, in much the same way there are a trillion Les Pauls and Strats out there with the only tiniest of differences (look in any Sweetwater or Musician's Friend catalog) and collectors who love them all. Collectors collect what they like to collect, it stands to reason. Now, if you're gonna act like an expert, first do some research to learn the differences between the fretwire, neck depths, radii, and other differences in all those necks. You think they are the same because you don't know any better, I guess. E.G. an original "Wizard" neck (on the 770DX) is much thinner than any JEM neck, and a neither of them resemble the thicker USA Custom neck (with its bird's eye maple and volute.) The original JEM neck is one-piece quartersawn maple with a rosewood fretboard and no binding, but the new JEM7SFG neck is a five-piece, with wood binding, and a rounder radius. In this way, they each possess their own character in your hands. With respect to electronics, about half of those pickups are Seymour Duncans: a bridge JB, a couple neck '59s, a bridge Custom Custom, etc. The DiMarzios are all selected for their tones and outputs depending on what I was into at the time: there's a FRED, a Humbucker from Hell, a matched set of Eric Johnsons (very low gain, very vintage tones), a True Velvet, a Blue Velvet (awesome, bright vintage middle pickups), a Crunch Lab and a neck Evolution, and the JEM single coils which have always sounded fantastic and are the only original electronics on any of the instruments. All of the guitars also have installed appropriate high-pass filter caps to keep them bright with the volume rolled down. Thanks for reading. I truly do love those instruments and enjoy very much talking about them. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Mar 1, 2014 |

Dr. Faustus posted:Some folks like to collect Les Pauls. Some people like to collect Strats. I love Ibanezes. Well the neck differences are a bit more in-depth than you're making out. There are Wizard necks which match the JEM in every way, you just have to look for them. With the modularity of the RG series you can simply pick up such a neck, and drop it into one of the other RGs if thats really your bag. The differences in those that are different are negligible, such as a 1mm difference in thickness at the neck or similar, with the same radius, or 30mm smaller radius with the same thicknesses. It depends on the guitar however and there are standard/prestige RGs that match the JEM neck profile yet cost less. Ive played a large amount of RGs since, like you, they are my favourite guitars, and the differences in the different wizard/jem necks are really not so big as to base your entire purchasing decision on. Its not the same as, say, comparing the wizard series to a fender strat neck or even guitars that are more similar such as schecters or ESPs. With regards to electronics, if you really knew/cared as much as you say, you wouldn't be using such shoddy pickups as seymour duncans or dimarzios when boutique hand wounds exist which can outdo the entirety of their line. BKPs are the ones that are in vogue right now and the ones I know the most about, and they have ranges which can outdo any of those you've mentioned wrt note definition in chords, output levels etc while having similar response patterns to attain the same tone. They even use original 50s specs and material choices for their vintage style pups unlike the mass produced drek from SD and DM, so if you are truly such a gear whore I don't see why you wouldn't be using them or a similar brand? Also, can you explain why you said about this amp that you loved the glow of the tubes, when in fact they used LEDs for the colour as they don't actually glow red: Last thing: Your comments regarding amp modelling and voltage/dsp errors is hilarious when you only have a POD HD which practically the worst modelling system available and is pathetic compared to something like an Axe FX or the software modellers.

Oh also no JEM has a one piece neck, they all use scarf joints to attach the headstock if they aren't one of the 3 or 5 piece necks, so aren't truly a "one piece".
