Ibanez JEM77WDP Steve Vai Guitar
When Steve Vai teamed up with Ibanez in 1987, little did he realize what a lasting impact his signature model guitar would have. Today, the JEM is an iconic instrument immediately identified with the legendary guitarist. As part of the Ibanez Premium series, the JEM77WDP is a high quality instrument created for the working pro. This latest version of the JEM, with its unique look, brings a new taste to the lineup.

The JEM77WDP is crafted with a Rosewood top/Mahogany body along with a distinctive wooden pickguard, matching headstock, and wooden control knobs. Its elegant Tree of Life inlay prominently stretches along the contrasting Rosewood fretboard. The Wizard neck includes Jumbo frets finished with the Premium Fret Edge Treatment for a smooth, comfortable performance. The Edge Zero II tremolo bridge features a lower profile design for comfort and a stud lock function for superior tuning stability.

Electronics include two DiMarzio Dark Matter 2 humbucker pickups (one at the neck, one in the bridge) with an enchanting custom pickup grill and a DiMarzio Dark Matter 2 single coil pickup in the middle position for a wide array of rock tones. A hard shell case is included.

replace the pickups and it could be okl. I would rather the headstock match the body, not the pickguard and I don't care for the inlay.
 
This is most I've liked a Jem since the blue flower pattern came out back in the day. If I had to have a Jem, this would be the one.
 
no like. the pickup covers are interesting but i'd never want them personally. rest of the guitar is a no although the body and pickguard scheme work well together.
 
I don't like the pickguard and headstock' burnt motif, but I do like the Jem series. This isn't even close to the coolest one I've ever seen. But I wouldn't throw it away either.
 
Monkeygrip, dumbest thing ever done to a guitar. If all guitars had them I'd take up the sousaphone or even the banjo.

How many times have you been walking down the road with your guitar, trying to bum a ride, and you didn't t have a case or strap? Inconvenient to say the least. That monkey grip is some handy shit right there.



Oh, that's right.
Never
 
black pickguard, regular-looking pickups, and a rosewood to match the body headstock, and it wouldn't look bad. Monkey grip aside, that is.
 
I'm sorry, the "handle is PART of the guitar!" design element is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever seen on guitars. And I am including the entire history of B.C. Rich in this statement.
 
And since nobody else said it, I'll carry on the tradition:
Middle pickup failboat

I don't know why but I love that saying...ha!!
 
I'll stick with my old brown Jem. I like some of the elements of this new one, but the mixture of all the stuff in one guitar is just too busy.
