It's an awesome guitar. I owned 2 JEMS many years ago. The build quality on these Japan guitars is second to none. That goes for the Joe Satriani model I had as well.Fucking epic!!!
What do you think about it?
Plays and sounds great, AFTER a setup from me. Out of the box it had too much neck relief and too high action. Got it dialed in now.Very nice. I'm curious as to how you like it also? Congratulations!!

What wasn't epic was the setup out of the box. I straighted the neck, lowered the action, etc. Now it's playing like it should.
Sounds great too. I played it thru the Synergy Vai module. Holy shit!
Yes, alderAre the Pia's alder bodied rather than basswood?

this one caught my eye-the teardrop cutouts look cooler than the monkey grip- but setup was stiff
my friend has 2 jems and one of them is very shreddy by comparison
