A Gem of a Site for Ibanez

For fans of Ibanez / JEM guitars, JemSite is nice little site with everything you need to know about these unique guitars favored by Steve Vai and others.  As Steve Vai noted in an interview from Guitar Player magazine quoted in the article "Origins of the JEM"

"The JEM guitars - I don't know what I did without them all these years [laughs]. The guitars that I use are exactly like the ones right off the shelf. That was the concept behind doing the deal with Ibanez. I wanted a guitar that was suited to me, that had all my little ideas and idiosyncrasies, such as having 24-frets and having it dug out so the Floyd Rose is recessed into the body. I wanted to be able to pull up on the bar, and not have it go out of tune when you rest your wrist on the tremolo. I wanted to have the volume pots in a certain place and be able to reach high up with the cutaway." (GP - 5/88)

There are articles, forums and a well-written community blog.  Even if you're not a hardcore Ibanez player, there are articles that will be of general interest.  Here are a few items I found interesting:

• Origins of the JEM
• In search of the perfect guitar
• Where do I find a teacher
• I also love my wife

"A Gem of a Site for Ibanez" - I have an RG120 and while it is on the lower end of their models, I love it. I have also found some great tips from the JemSite.
