Amazon kit guitar. Maybe leojaymz or the like. Ripoff of the Ibanez Steve Vai JEM models. Looks like a decent job on the finished product. Not expensive tho. Maybe $120
It’s junk. The wood is so bad when I pulled the painters tape off the headstock after painting multiple strips of wood peeled off even after sanding. And some of them were at least three centimeters thick. The fake Floyd is just awful. No matter what I did the strings kept popping out so I found a real Floyd on fb marketplace for $50. Also the stock pickups are bad. The humbuckers sounded like single coils. I replaced those with a set from Amazon and it sounds much better. The tuners are made from plastic and are super crunchy so I replaced them with a set of Amazon locking tuners. Oh and I had to get a new locking nut because the original stripped on me.
I spent $400 not including the cost of spray paint. I could’ve gotten a real gem for that.
Yeah, it looks like one of those Ibanez Jem copy DIY kits you can get on Amazon. They're like $135'ish.
I've been interested in trying one of those kits out. The only useable thing in that kit is likely the body and neck, but I'm not aversed to getting all the parts needed and doing it myself. Wouldn't be the first time I've done extensive work like that on a guitar.
Visibly low quality, check. Tell tale unpainted body, check. Unbranded copy of popular guitar, check. wHaT kInD of gUiTaR iS iT. I swear man some people struggle so hard with basic deductive reasoning. If you google anything guitar building related that kit pops up on google eBay and amazon.
I'm actually considering doing this aswell. A cheap DIY guitar is something I'd love to add to my collection, especially if the end result is as eye catching as this one. I've seen so many videos of "meh" guitars sounding amazing with all the programs and amps we have available to us now adays so why the heck not
Looks like a copy of an ibanez jem.

Amazon kit build. I own one and I regret that every single day.

You spent 400 on a very valuable lesson, I'd think. Still have it?
Yes I do. I’ve tried getting rid of it but nobody will take it lol.
That’s a Jay Turser JTA52-N 1/2 size Acoustic in Natural finish
There a label right there, in the sound hole.
Looks like an Ibanez GEM knockoff or copy that is missing the string lockers
That's a suitcase actually.
Shitty Chinese fake Jem
I just can’t seem to get a handle on it …
I can tell you what it isn’t.
Off brand Ibanez
I hereby identify this as ... weird, is what it is.
Fake
Probably one of these or something similar https://www.solomusicgear.com/product/solo-jem-style-diy-guitar-kit-basswood-body-maple-neck-vine-inlay/

An ugly one.
A good old Chibanez!

Looks like a kit guitar. I have one that looks like the same hardware from solomusic. Mine set up nice and plays fine, but overall nothing special.

Knockoff JEM I don’t think Steve Vai ever had one that looked like this, I could be wrong

Are these any good? Have you ever built or played one?

This is good feedback. It looks like it would be a fun project. I’ve been looking for a cheap bass, so their Amazon store was a bit tempting

Kits can go from cool project it took you way longer than anticipated (and way more money) to absolute waste of money really fucking quick.
Look at it bruv.
That’s Bob.
Jem Bob.
I always thought Schecter made guitars that looked similar to this?
By the head shape i’d say an ibanez of some sort, pretty cool
It's a JEM 6-string.
Negative, but it’s trying to be. Also, all JEMs are 6 string. UNIVERSE are the 7 strings.
Negative, but I guess they don't make them anymore. [https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/JEM7V7](https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/JEM7V7)
My buddy had one I believe
