Guys,

I'm thinking of purchasing a JEM. Anyone have any insight on the Team J Craft designation (besides they're crafted in Japan)? Are they producing better guitars than the guitars without this designation? I'm just trying to separate marketing hype from reality.

Thanks

Brent, The "Cowboy" guitar is a Team J creation. I recently had the priviledge of obtaining one of these beasts and have been putting it thru the paces for the last month or so....I am flabergasted ! The fit and feel, playability and "WOW" factor alone equal , and in many ways surpass, the quality of the guitars produced in the so called "Golden Age".
While I am not familar with the JEM series, I do have some experience with Vintage Artist, Professional, Concert, and Performance guitars of the '76-'79 era, as well as the high quality clones of '74-'76....if the "Cowboy" is any indication of the attention to detail and worksmanship of the "J team", they are producing amazing quality !
