to each their own and shit, but that is the epitome of everything I would not want in a guitar...

Ibanez Jem body style with look at me swing my guitar around stevie vai cutout
Ibanez flat neck
7 string
ugly fucking colors that make even my children cry.
Floyd rose trem

If you can not tell, I HATE Steve Vai as a muscian though so I maybe a bit biased.... but thats ok cause he sucks.

I'd say I puked a little in my mouth, but that would be insulting my puke...which happens to taste much better than this guitar would..

Say what you will, JEMs are super nice to play, so long as you are playing where no one can see you

If they didnt have that fucking hole theyd be an acceptably hilarious superstrat thing.

Nah, I don't think they're terrible. A product of the 80's for sure, but at least they didn't half-ass a splash of color- the whole thing's a goddamn neon rainbow.

I assume the neck is flat and the pickups are RED HAWT. Those'd be my big turn-offs, aside from the dorky handle and overall pointedness. Never played one of those dive bomb tremolos though.

The 777LNG is probably my favourite guitar of all time, I only wish I had been born earlier so that I could've bought one when they first came out.

i'm not a fan of superstrats but I've always had a soft spot for the JEMs, mainly because of the hand hole I think (I am a usability consultant) and also I like the extremes of taste. I can think of a lot more guitars I would rather not own than this though. I really like the green on as well

Lose the grab hole and middle pickup and i'd use one. Like RG's, they are very comfortable guitars to play.

I was going to add "back when they were cool" too, but... hah.

7 string

It's not a 7 string though, agreed on all else.

OP forgot this one from the original years (well 2nd year, 1988 ) ...

The Humbuckers on the original JEMs were DiMarzio PAF Pros so I wouldn't say they were RED HAWT

oops.

They did make a 7 string Jem though right? For some reason I thought they were all 7's

Vai still sucks though.

The 7 string is called a Universe, it loses the monkey grip as well.

without he hand hole, I could be down with it. I do want a superstrat for my collection. Might as well go all out and get one that is right out in the open. But then again, I am through being cool.

That one's actually quite cool looking...as much new wave as it is shred

coolest super-strat evar.
