Yeah, I've seen that one. Bit of work to get the Jackson neck going in a body for an Ibanez, but good on him.

Good value too, he saved himself a lot of money by not saying "NO" to fakes...lol...

An Ibanez neck will always outplay a Jackson neck!

Right Uncle Kev??

And nice to see TJ put his version of the Carvin up there too.

I had the weirdest fucking dream ever last night .. Dino showed up at my house with VV's Carvin ... it turned out to be an accoustic and broken LOL .. very very obscure

LOL, it was maybe a dream but it's probably more real than the stories from the so called VV camp.

Damn, I think I need a good beating because I still believe / hope that Vinnie is gonna do SOMETHING soon. Even a "Thanks but no thanks" comment to us would go a LONG way.

With Vinnie, you just never know what's gonna happen. It might take decades, it might take years or it might not happen.

His prerogative to do what he likes. A sign of what he is planning would be nice though !

Shramiac,
I can't believe that this dude copied my color scheme!

His total cost is very similar to what mine cost. With his $200 paint job he has close to a grand into assembling this guitar. I painted my guitar myself and it looks no where near as good as what this professional painter has done for this guy. I like that slick paint job! My body came from this same builder. Here are my approximate costs a couple of years ago:
Body $150
Neck $150
Parts $125
Edge Trem $150
Luthier Set Up, Frets and Intonation $150 for an approximate total of around $725.

I like the Ibanez Wizard Profile Neck that you have on your JEMS alot. They are real thin and flat! The Ibanez Neck that I put on this guitar is not the Wizard Profile and is more similiar to a Jackson Soloist Neck.
This might be an alternative way to go for some who enjoy projects but this method isn't for every one. I wanted a Double V Guitar and this was the most cost effective way for me at the time.

Im going to contact them and get a price on a double v body,my dad paints cars for a living and has all the stuff I need to get a good paint job.Pink and silver will do just fine.Although I might see if they will build me a VV with a gibson style bridge.SOOO tired of dealing with floyds,I have a usa jackson neck from the old days in great condition but it has dot inlays instead of sharks.....

Yes Rick, you do deserve a good old fashion beating for still believing. I'd say you probably give yourself that beating everyday anyway. You've probably beaten yourself up so much you've pull knee cartilage out of your old fella.

I got one for about $US120 about 3-4 years ago on ebay & he also made ibanez jem bodies.

Geez!!!!! We're gonna have to change the name of the board to Vinnie's Circle Jerks!!!!!

why charge so much for a guitar with polar and rosewood? I am sure they sound good but it doesn't spell 5k to me.
