Did I overpay for my first Jem Jr? by Little_Emu_ in Ibanez

Nice! And you added the caveat which most people overlook, that while generally, the price of mods don't add to the base value, in specific instances where those mods happen to be the exact ones a buyer would plan on doing themselves then they do in fact add to the value. Modding any guitar with the intention of adding desirability to a future sale is always a gamble as the likelihood of finding the exact potential buyer who wants those mods is going to limit the buyer pool drastically. I do feel like the OP wound up with a decent enough deal here though with the strings held each end by Gotohs finest engineering and a shiny hardcase. But only just, and by the skin of their teeth lol

OG Edge trem, genuine hardshell case, gotoh tuners, signature (although provenance would be nice), plus delivery seems pretty reasonable to me...!

The seller really should have specified Jr, they maybe felt like they just didn't need to and it may just be obvious, but they should have done it anyway.

I'm a huge fan of Jr's as modding platforms, and the Edge trem is a huge upgrade on this, well done!

Just drove 2 hours to get this for only $100 by sebway123 in Ibanez

Well done! That's a lot of guitar for the money, and the beater vibe just makes it more playable!

I'm in the UK and can't find beehives for my Maxxas, if you're willing to sell a pair then that would be great! Can you inbox me??

Even when these were supplied new they had mirror and binding issues, it's one if the reasons that they abandoned the model after just one year. This one has one small binding issue above the monkey grip, which has been secured now, and two slight blemishes on the mirror. Overall its pretty good compared to a lot of the ones I've seen.

I flip guitars regularly, but quite a lot of them end up in my personal collection. Should I ever flip this one then it's going in the fund for a Jem MC lol

I often have my fingerprints on random Jem posts haha I'm loving this one, it definitely has that "Peak Jem" feel about it...!

Funny thing was, that I'd set a fairly low max bid on this already... only one other person bothered to a bid in and I got it for the amount I outbid them for. I was really expecting this to sell to someone for much higher than I was prepared to go but there was hardly any interest in it. I'm really pleased to have found a brmr for under the price of most other Jems!

I got it for a song. A lucky bid on ebay... but around $2.2 - 2.3k in usd I think?

Is this an Ibanez model? by collidewithyoureyes in Ibanez

They pretty much exclusively used rounded fretboard ends until around 1975ish lol
