Mint condition...sky is probably the limit, especially if it has the hand/palm-rest that goes over the trem.

Usual played condition...whatever it's worth to you...

I always wanted one for my JEM collection..but I've since sold all my JEMs...post a pic

I was gonna say about $2k....but what's the B&B blue book?

It's Jem777LNG (Loch Ness Green). Ibanez made 777 of those in 1987 and nowadays price varies from one grand (beater) to up as high as three grands (dead mint) depending on the condition. Steve signed and numbered each one of those, I think. One can get upper end prices from those at Jemsite.

Those are about right, dead mint with case and the sig in very good condition will get around $3000 but that is dead mint fag collector piece.

The DNAs..........now those are going for $7000+

Mint would easily fetch over $3000, but from what I remember something in decent condition could still get up to $2500. Its been a while since I cared about jem prices though

We have one of these downstairs. It belongs to the museum. It isn't on display...it's not in a case....it just collects dust on the shelf in a closet. Since it's not considered a "historic" piece, the staff just kind of ignores it. I finally put a set of new strings on it a few months back...they were like, "meh, whatever." You wouldn't believe how some of the other artifacts are treated....christ!
