Ibanez JEM7V
Steve Vai®
There are
few that would argue Steve Vai's tremendous influence
on modern guitar playing. Then, there is no one
who would argue Steve Vai's tremendous influence
on Ibanez guitars.
Innovations created by Steve and
Ibanez designers can be
found in so many Ibanez instruments, from pro through
entry-level. Such features as Vai's own choice of
specific DiMarzio pickups on the JEM7V are one reason.
Combined with Ibanez Split-5 wiring, this tandem
provides for incredible tone versatility.
Furthermore, the alder body with
24-fret JEM neck provides easy access to all registers.
The deep routed tremolo cavities allow pitches to
be raised or lowered. When Steve Vai played this
instrument, with it's Edge tremolo, lighting fast
two octave neck, and beautifully sculpted body when
it came out in 1987, it was cutting edge. Today,
it is still cutting edge, and that is the mark of
a true classic.
