    It’s FINALLY here!
    I decided to make a video breaking down and comparing the Ibanez JEM and Ibanez JS series guitars.
    In this video I compare the specs, sounds, and share some really useful information about each guitar.
    If you’re thinking about purchasing one of these guitars or are curious about their quirks and sounds, this video should be really helpful!
    This video is kind of a new format for me, so any critique and/or advice for future content is greatly appreciated! ^-^

      I've got a Jem Jr and I can say they are amazing guitars, and only around $1000 AUD. Only issue I have with Jems is the floyd rose bridge due to not being able to frequently change tunings easily.

    The RG was created with the same body style as the Jem, so that makes sense. IIRC, the Satriani model was based on the Radius (540R), which was what he used to play. Very contoured body, kind of like the Roadstar II's.

  • @FrancescoCristian
    @FrancescoCristian 4 роки тому +6

    I think the opposite. For some reasons I think that the JS has the most versatile sound than the JEM. Every time I listen to a JEM my mind goes to Steve Vai. The JS has a lot of sounds because of all stuff like HPF or coil splitting ( in the other models) or the Sustainiac. All this features make you have heavy and strato sound (that is impossible to reproduce with the JEM).

  • @Husker5454
    @Husker5454 6 років тому +10

    i was looking at getting the Ibanez GRG121DX-WNF. it just looks exactly how i like. super minimalist look and with the 24 frets i could maybe go into more advanced riffs and songs. as of now im not the best guitarist and tend to stick to chord sequences and simple riffs so i dont know if it would be worth the purchase. It would be my 3rd guitar however one of the main reasons for wanting it is that my current electric is old and starting to have many problems with the pickups and amp connection so it would be a nice replacement.

    • @theclaybia
      @theclaybia 6 років тому +1

      Husker54 the grg121dx is really phenomenal for the price they go for. I'd definitely suggest it.

    • @jedium9501
      @jedium9501 6 років тому +1

      as someone who owns one I would certainly recommend it, it plays beautiful even compared to a ibanez sz520. I would definitely recommend getting it setup and personally I like thicc strings so I would put 10-52 on it for drop D or D standard. but for sure go and test is and buy it.

      Husker54 I tried this particular model at a store, it's really a great built guitar... And the finish is really dark walnut... Although, not sure, but the finish might chip off if not handled with a bit care.

This video changed my view and both guitars, but helped me none. I want the jem for a collection and because of its beautiful look, but the JS looks comfortable and sounds better. I really cant make up my mind. Can you plz reply to help. I like playing metal, rock, punk, and jazz. I great honest opinion can help. Thank you again! Keep up the great work!

      L1gh1ning 223 look man, i got the ibanez js2410 and thats just gr8. Many tonal options, u can sound different than satriani as well. But the feel, the sustain, is incredible, u get much more than wht u pay for. I have seen the jem to be much muffled sounding. For me the js has the best tone. U should try one, but if u like the wizard necks, u can try the jem or any good rg.

    Frankly when you said at the start "the differences in pick ups won't be a big deal" that was kind of an eh move, pick ups make a world of difference and I consider them to be THE if not one of many key factors when deciding which guitar to buy. In future videos I recommend having more clarity when discussing the pickups at the start of the video and maybe doing some demos with other standard pickup guitars (eg compare generic stock single-coil pickups to Satch's custom single-coil style pickups). That's just what I thought, either way, great video, LOVING this new channel!! :D

    @calebdavis9175 6 років тому

    Hey Eric. Would you ever consider making a video on different techniques, exercises, or scales to help with being able to play? I know you're a super advanced player, but something like that could help people who are inspired by you to get a guitar or even an experienced guitar player like myself. I started playing when I was 14 and loved it. After a while though I started to flat line with my progress. Now I'm just stuck with knowing a few bits and pieces of this or that song and never thought I would get anywhere with it, but every time I watch you or TheDooo play I get inspired again. Sorry for the story. You are awesome. Keep up the amazing work! :)

    As much as I love music, I’m not much of a guitarist more woodwind but it’s very interesting! Keep up the vid btw listening to play though with Bose Headphones are fantastic!

    Great video dude, where did you get the Satch Donnie t-shirt?
    Vai uses ernie ball 9s and Satch used 9s but switched to 10s when he began tuning to Eb after doing the Chicken Chickenfoot albums. Both awesome guitars of my idols and both guitars I can't get because I'm left handed lol
    Also, I want to know what you are playing at 08:57 and 11:08? Very Vai esque and very cool

    The JS body reminds me of an Ibanez SR bass with how comfortable and contoured it is. I wonder if that had any influence on the guitar.

    We need more Musick videos
    Also, I've been thinking about grabbing myself either a Jem Jr. or an RG-something-something (closely priced to the Jem Jr). My question: How are the "Standard" bridges (I assume they're some Edge variants) on the guitars from the $400-600 range? How well do they stay in tune? Are the springs super stiff? I'm familiar with Floyd Roses and I'm curious to branch out some and try the Edges
