Steve
Vai is one of the few guitarists universally acknowledged as one who
has changed the way musicians think about what a guitar can really do.
His signature Ibanez guitars are no different: Iconic, Sublime,
Awe-Inspiring, Outrageous. The Ibanez JEM Series models are trailblazers
in a world of imitators – there’s nothing like them. A formidable array of technical features specified by Steve Vai.
The Ibanez JEM7V Steve Vai Signature Electric Guitar is a
top-of-the-line 6-string solidbody capable of exploring the most extreme
sonic territories at any speed. The 5-piece maple/walnut neck is
super-smooth for easy riffing and incredibly strong and stable with a
lead-friendly thin and flat profile. A 25-1/2" scale and bolt-on neck
joint get you lots of bass and treble response with a quick, precise
attack. A 43mm nut provides comfortable string spacing and 24 jumbo
frets deliver greater range while the recessed tremolo provides
right-hand playing comfort and allows notes to be radically raised as
well as lowered. The alder body produces clear, full-bodied vintage tone
that serves all your needs from chunky rhythms to searing leads. A trio
of screaming DiMarzio Evolution pickups (humbuckers at the neck and
bridge with a custom single-coil in the mid position), coupled with
Split-5 wiring give you all the tonal diversity you crave. And of
course, there's Vai's signature Monkey Grip on the bass-side body wing.
Alder bodyBest
known as the body wood for the classic single coil, bolt on neck
guitar, alder produces clear, full bodied vintage tone that works well
for lead or rhythm work.
Rosewood fingerboardRosewood offers a strong, bright sound and an attractive appearance with a long grain.
DiMarzio Evolution humbuckersThe
Evolution neck and bridge humbuckers are the result of 2 years of
research to come up with the right sound for a very demanding player and
his axe: Steve Vai and his Ibanez JEMs. Both pickups are designed for
maximum impact and power. The neck pickup is fat, punchy and loud. The
bridge pickup is tight, aggressive and louder. Both pickups have a
patented dual-resonance configuration to reproduce more harmonic
overtones than conventional humbuckers. The Evolution pickups were
originally designed with live gigs in mind, but they have so much
presence and definition that they're great recording pickups, too; they
slice right through even the densest mix.
