  • oh god thats hot

  • fuck the haters, the guitar looks awesome!

  • What is the difference with scalloped frets? I know Yngwie uses them too but I never really understood what they are for.

  • @FlamingAntelope667 they make it kinda easier to play. Bending is much easier with them

  • thumbs up if u think the head stock kills that beautiful guitar every time he shows it

  • pretty cool, i guess, kinda girly, and why did it take so long to finish, ive seen better in a few weeks....c'mon bro Custom...? i could have that exact guitar made in less than a month from scratch, anyone could, its just a modded, painted Jem.....whats the big deal...?>

  • mclovin is that you!!!

  • OMG SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!

  • the bridge looks new... wher did u got the floyd rose edge!!???!!!!

  • How much did you sell it for?

  • Herc Fede did not do the originals, Darren Johnson from At Time Design did them. That's why he was the one that also did the uv777re they did a few years ago.

  • You sound like a teenage Dale Gribble

  • what was the intended purpose of this video?

  • why would you put a coil tap if u hav a 5 way switch?

    Also, I didn't even notice the pickguard at first.

    That is probably the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen.

  • holy shit, thats an amazing guitar! top three nicest ive ever seen! can u message me where you bought all your equipment, and numbers for the paint and everything? i loe building guitars, im buildin one right now, pics r on my facebook, ill make a vid of them soon, but i want to make a jem now, really nice guitar bro, peace

  • um u know u can buy the body with that paint job from ebay

  • Its a clear pick guard -.- of course it matches haha

  • @JgHaverty it is not a clear pickguard - the pickguard was swirled with the guitar so everything matches up.

  • @JgHaverty He meant it matches the shape of the guitar lol

  • @RicoseuGaming Haha I know, I was being sarcastic IIRC. :p

  • Sweet

  • if he sells it i will buy it for $5,500 cash

  • I WANT IT!

  • it's called a monkey grip i think ;)

  • If I put so much time and love into a guitar i would not sell it

  • I'll give u 20 bucks

  • AN EBONY OR ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD WOULD BE SO METAL IF YOU ASK ME..

  • Beautiful Axe Man!!! Very good Job!!!

  • beautiful. maple fretboard kills the whole thing :[ i find it so ugly and it always gets dirty and you can never 100% clean it but beautiful guitar

  • Traditional Teles and Strats are the real music force of the world!!! Give me a Telecaster and I'm bending them strings and singng the blues!!!

  • I'm not a big fan of the monkey grip, but I must say it suits this beautiful guitar nicely. Good job.

  • You can call my comments spam all you want.. Its still not a real JEM.

    Herc does do awesome work though.

  • My fender is that same beautiful color (^_^)

  • I don't give 2 shits about people facts just play the damn guitar please

  • @TailsIceify I made this video to sell the guitar and it sold, don't have it anymore

  • @monkfunkdotcom WHY WOULD YOU SEEL IT ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • @monkfunkdotcom how much did you sell it for?

  • @monkfunkdotcom you should of done aa test play of it so that we could hear it, it looks sweet, but I don't like the color :L

  • @monkfunkdotcom BITCH! i wanted it -_-

  • @monkfunkdotcom Damn... sexy guitar.

  • @monkfunkdotcom dude that guitar is a work of art. Just happens to be my favourite colour. Wish I could build a guitar like that....awesome.

  • @AshFromCan ordered them purple from dimarzio

  • @stagekev guitarheads net has the cheepest pickups and hardware. all sturdy. i love it. i saved a bunch. pickups are pretty good too

  • @monkfunkdotcom so why didnt you build a real custom jem with that money??

  • @monkfunkdotcom I highly doubt that guitars cost more to build than to... uhhh buy? lol So what did you spend a grand making this guitar then sold it for 500? 

  • @monkfunkdotcom how much did you sell it for?

  • Genius!  I am migrating to Ibanez!

  • @Videogamespeed......

    bro....i lack NOTHING in knowledge of these.

    I stand by what I said,.....anyone with $3K can go and make one of these.

  • In order to be an original JEM it should be built by Joe JEM

  • @stagekev you mean joe despagni?

  • In order to be an original JEM it should be built by Joe JEM

  • Dude, the next vid post you do, get a voice-over guy for the audio! I had to turn the sound down to make it all the way thru! And treat your nice gear the right way.

  • i think your retainer is giving the mic feedback cause your voice is coming out all homosexually

  • Uh oh! It's missing a nut! lol! But seriously, nice guitar bro.

  • He sounds like a star wars geek that got confused one night at a laser Floyd concert and collected guitars afterwards instead.

  • @CodyGOfficial he sounds like Bobby boucher

  • I think he's about to orgasm all over the frets.

  • dude if you have that much money for a guitar like that then why dont you just get jackson or something to do an all custom guitar for you

  • @kalmahman48 I like building and customizing guitars, why would I want someone else to do it and waste my money on that if I enjoy doing it and did it myself.... this was dreamed & built, not bought... This Jem was one of a kind... I sold it... and regret it everyday :(

  • I like your username :)

  • Very nice, not really crazy about the fully scalloped neck (better vibrato, agreed, but harder to play), but i'm still slightly jealous :P

  • Prince would kill for this guitar

  • hahahahahahaha indeed xD

  • slick guitar.

  • i didnt liked.... but cool for you dude =D

  • Nice, very nice...but can you play it? :P

  • The only mod I would do is add the Fender style Jeff Beck countour heel. This would button it up for me.  Fire monster axe !

  • if this gets nicked soon, it wasnt me

  • dude its like u have a lambo in front of u take care of it.

  • Don't be gay dude!!! Even YOU would be cool with this guitar

  • sexy! :o

  • God thats a col Ibanez!! The best I have ever seen! The purple is like the coolest color ever and I love the purple pickups! God nice job on making it man! The maple neck is so awsome with it. Its like the perfect guitar. I love Jems. The only thing it needs is the tree of life inlay and it with be the complete best ever man!! ROCK ON!!

  • i think i'm going to steal you're guitar

  • HOLY SHIT

  • mystic dreamy purple shades

  • i want ittttttttttttt

  • Sounds like Joe Satriani lol.

  • like a baby

  • it really kick ass.... awesome guitarr.. man !!...

  • kick ass dude

  • Holy shit ,very very very nice guitar man!!!!;)

  • Fuckin A dude it's gorgeous! Now post a video of you playing it. Would love to hear that thing!

  • very cool!!

  • That's a pretty fuckin' sweet guitar man :D

  • ehh who cares about the back plates.... INCREASES SUSTAIN

  • and when i say that it's made of glass, i'm being sarcastic. he doesn't -need- to be delicate with the instrument; it's just a big hunk of wood with some cheap electronics in it.

    now... if he were tossing around, for example, a $50,000 french horn - that would be bad.

  • a guitar is a valuable instrument too, it can be electric or a classical flamenco guitar, and those are really valuable.

  • yeah, but you have to understand that the guitar is SOLID wood. It's not like a classical/flamenco guitar that can be easily damaged because it's -not- solid.

    That guitar can handle being "flipped" over onto a pillow without fear of being broken.

    What's the worst that can happen to the guitar?

  • yeah, maybe a little out of tune but it has a floyed rose so nothing really, I just get nervous when people don't handle guitars carefully, and thanks for the comment on my vid.

  • Keep rocking man; you have a lot of potential

  • its being burned like a guys have made

  • what does that even mean?

    "its being burned like a guys have made"?

  • its a video in youtube of a guys burning a 4000 dolars yellow jem

  • @MrSquitwet It could get boiled like a bunny by your bitch wife/girlfriend LOL

  • Yeah, cuz it's made of glass, right?

  • Change that headstock and you have a work of art.

    I like it.

  • love the fully scaloped fretboard, anyone know where i can get that done?

  • a kezét eltörném annak, aki így dobál egy ilyen gitárt.

  • did you get the body from ebay from a shop called perleguitars? becuase i have an increadible similar paint job on a iceman shape? would be a nice coincidence :)

  • LOOOOOL xD

  • That's a reaaallllyyy nice paint job :o

  • id change the pickguard. to black.

  • dont like it that much still ok nice job

  • he does not deserve this beautiful beautiful guitar

  • Why?( Lol!!)

  • because he is a boner

  • Hahahah!!

  • omg man how much and why did you treat it like shit

  • Yeah he throws it about a bit...

  • hey nice guitar bro! 5/5

  • beautiful. i want it. lol

  • I also believe scalloped frets make it easier for finger tapping, Not sure if this is true because I have never played one. So don't take this as true if it isn't.

  • it is true

  • it is true

    Plus that you gain more sustain

    Much more :)

  • Have you finished up the neck and headstock yet?

  • beautiful guitar!!!

  • Stop picking on this dude. Its not like when he was born he choose to sound like that.

  • dude stop throwing it everywhere

  • ok. theres a lot of BS talked about scalloped fretboards by people who dont have them or have never played them. I have one so heres the facts:

    You can get easier and more exaggerated vibrato if u have your hand at a right angle to the neck. (i.e. straight up).

    Bends are also a little easier.

    Slides can be a little trickier at first but your get used to it

    Thats about it. It does not make playing harder and it is not for playing faster.

    A lot of it comes down to how much you like the feel.

  • what does scalloped fretboard mean???

  • the neck has been shaved in to a curve. in between each fret u can see the wood concaves or just slopes likea mini half pipe. i find scalloeped frets very comfertable but i prefer normal necks

  • how much was it

  • sounds like a comic book nerd mixed with hans moleman

  • xaxaxax yes 1+

  • why do u sound like a child molester??

  • how would you know? lol

  • That is a wicked axe! I just finished putting my RG back together with a better neck, pick-ups and hardware... Come check it out, tell me what you think... Cheers!

  • linda guita

  • Play that bitch... i want to hear her.

  • this does not look like a gem at all it looks like an rg with unique gem base and cheap pickups.
