What do you guys think? Found it on Ebay... Looks nice...But I doubt the quality, considering the price...

Hmmm...It does...trem is Edge II, Ibanez version of floyd... As for the pups, well, what can you expext for that price? (about 120 GBP.) The thing that bothers me if the neck is not scr**** up, so it wil be out of tune in octaves or something like that...What do you think?

Well, you get what you pay for. The package behind it says jump start.....something or other, so it sounds like a beginner guitar.

The seller seems to be legit - ie he has good feedback and a high number of sales - the price just doesnt fit. An Edge Pro 2 trem would set you back about $130 alone - see http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330054733985&category=41407.

Seeing as the guitar is a copy (note it only says "Jem" but there is no mention of Ibanez) then so is the trem, usually you are talking about pretty nasty pups in a guitar like that.
Only way to find out is to ask the exact brand name of the guitar then search for an online review. My biggest concern at that price would be the neck too... plus the body might be made out of plastic :eek:
Might be cool for smashing up on stage - especially if you can paint "Ibanez" onto the headstock :D (pricey for a stage trick though!)

He is selling PRS SE's for 4 times this price. This guitar is most likely a piece of crap. Don't waste your money.
