Ibanez Jem 77V Steve Vai Signature Guitar

Steve Vai, one of the greatest guitarist of all time, co-designed the Ibanez JEM series with Ibanez. And for most of us, Vai has been well known for using the Ibanez JEM 7V White for live performances recently.

Here's one of Vai's guitar, which caught my attention as well

Ibanez JEM 77V

Frets: W/6105 frets
Fretboard: Rosewood

There are many types and finshing of the Ibanez JEM series produced, all based on the specifications that Steve Vai uses. The JEM series is a modifed RG, with a monkey grip, scalloped fret board from the 21st to the 24th fret and the lion claw giving more space for the floating bridge



I've always loved the Ibanez JEM series. The thing about JEM that attracted me is the Vine of Life inlays, very very attractive! And of coz, it's a shredder's guitar. Even metal players such as Jari Maenpaa and Teemu Mantysaari of Wintersun are using them live. Pretty cool eh



One thing that caught my attention most on the JEM 77V, it has a mother of pearl binding on the body. Unlike seeing it on Ibanez catalogues, the pearl binding couldnt be seen.



One of the highest quality Ibanez RG alike guitar of all time. If you're investing on a good guitar, you might wanna consider this
