i forgot the zero fret.. ytea and the pick guard color would be gold. now that would match with the gold bridge, pots, tremolo, frets, tuning knobs, o and guess what! i decided to make the inlays gold and there will be a double-cutaway gold stripe outline on the guitar.

so in other words, (things mentioned above might get repeated)

picture an ibanez jem.

-1. remove that ugly handle
-2. change the body to crimson (dark reddish) flame top maple
-3. all hardware is made of pure gold, not gold colored
-4. dark rosewood fretboard
-5. gold frets (and a zero fret)
-6. now about the pickguard... well im not big on the whole over-sized pick guard cause i never really hit the guitar body between the strings or anything so the pick-guard will be a gibson les paul-like pick guard.
-7. the inlays will be pure gold inlays baby! vine inlays, but with spikes on the vine and 1 leaf on the 1, 5, 7, 9, 15, 17, 19 ... and 2 leafs on the 12th and 24th fret.
-8. it MUST have upper fret access. i refuse to play a guitar without upper fret access.
-9. i want the evo pickups like on vai's "evo" nicknamed jem.
-10. i want it to be evo humbucker on neck, single on middle, evo humbucker on bridge.
-11. like a true jem, i want (gold) floyd rose trem and nut
-12. all hardware not mentioned yet (plug, pots, pickups, tremolo, tuning knobs) are pure gold.. yea and theres gonna be a gold outline on the edges of the guitar.
-13. put the handle back on. (no outline on the handle)
-14. the headstock will say "to larry" cause i dont want no company name on my guitar.
-15. make it $200
-16. make sure i remember this when ordering a custom.
