which is better, a gibson sg or an ibanez jem7v?
In general, I would say a Gibson. It will certainly hold its value longer. But if the Ibanez feels good to you, and it plays well, then get it.

The neck profiles are a bit different; the Jem has the "monkeygrip" handle built into the body; the vine inlay on the fretboard [Jem].
In terms of pure quality, not really much of a difference, to be honest. The woods and workmanship are essentially equivalent
