Are you a guitarist whose hands are finally catching up with your head? Are you ready for a guitar that's going to glaze your playing with just the right sound? Will it need to have a definitively cool look as well?
If it's yes, yes and yes then legendary guitarist Steve Vai has teamed with Ibanez to bring you just such an axe. The Ibanez JEM is designed to stand out in more ways than one. It's visually distinctive and carries a performance capacity that makes it the peer of higher-priced models.
Two characteristics in particular distinguish the Ibanez JEM guitars. First is the sound - Vai's insistence of DiMarzio pickups paired with Ibanez split-5 wiring means incredible tonal versatility. Between the bridge, middle and neck pickups a range of sounds from bright and clean to fat and punchy can be had.
A fixed bridge features a lions claw tremolo cavity that allows pitches to be upped or downed. The 24-fret JEM Prestige neck promotes easy access to all sound registers. As a solid body 7-string, the JEM allows easy transition from 6- to -7 string techniques. If you can imagine it, you can more than likely draw it from this guitar
Secondly, Ibanez JEM guitars routinely garner second glances. They've chosen warm-tone basswood for carving a classic strat-style body and added a classic rosewood UV prestige neck. Certain models have Vai's signature "monkey grip" cut into it. Most of you've probably seen him hold his JEM high above his head by it while it sings an extended note.
Whether you're as ambitious or not, there's no denying it's a distinctive feature. They come in a choice of finishes and sport artistically unique fretboard inlays and pick guards. The JEM7VL brings the same cool looks and performance for left-handed players as well.
Every musician that expands as a player develops a more concrete idea of who they are. If you need a quality-made and capable guitar that reflects your individuality, the Ibanez JEM awaits.
