Members Unclemeat Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Without inspecting it, it looks like a fake with a trem bridge that says "overlords of music" on the bridge. True story, a couple years back my local guitar center had one of these in store used listed as a real Jem and selling it the price of a real Jem... I got in an argument with a sales guy who said that they aren't dumb and they wouldn't take it in on trade if it was fake. I didn't let up on it though because it would break my heart to think about someone saving up money wanting a Jem, and finding that one in perfect condition and shelling out big bucks for it not knowing. The store manager got involved, they looked into it, and had to pull it. That was my good deed for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members panther_king Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yeah, it's a fake. But for $50, how bad can it be? But, wrong bridge, wrong bridge route, wrong handle cutout, wrong pickguard, wrong knobs, wrong knob placement, board is too light.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
