Description

Steve Vai's signature guitars have become almost as iconic as the player himself, and now that mojo is more attainable than ever with the Ibanez JEMJR Steve Vai Signature solid body electric guitar. From the acrylic vine inlay to the instantly-recognizable "monkey grip" handle, there's no doubt where the JEMJR Steve Vai Signature came from. For tonal tenacity, you get two Quantum humbuckers and one Quantum single-coil pickup complete with five-way switching. Factor in the double-locking tremolo bridge, and the Ibanez JEMJR Steve Vai Signature is ready to wail. One of Ibanez's fastest necks to date, the Wizard III neck on the JEMJR Steve Vai Signature guitar is an absolute pleasure to play. This slim and super-comfortable neck lets you pull off lighting-fast runs and arpeggios with ease, but still gives you the substance you need for grabbing chords when you need to. From the first time you put your hands on the JEMJR's Wizard III neck, you'll know you've got a guitar that was built with performance in mind. The JEMJR Steve Vai Signature packs Ibanez's standard double-locking bridge, which helps you maintain your tuning stability even after heavy pitch bends.

  • Fantastic Guitar
Color: White
This guitar feels amazing and is so easy to play. I thought the wizard neck would be too thin for my liking at first, but the width compensates for this , which works for those with big hands like myself. The pickups sound great and it gives you those great ‘strat’ tones without the hum of single coils. For the price, it’s hard to beat this choice. The guitar looks great and the vine of life inlays add a sophisticated feel. Can’t recommend it enough ... show more

  • Wow!
Color: White
I have a few dozen guitars, the closest thing I own to this is a 1980s American made Charvel. I have rack mounted gear, a Mesa Boogie amp and a Crate bedroom amp I like. I've been playing since the 1980s. I had classical guitar lessons in my youth. Mine came from Chicago music and was the best packaged thing I've ever received from Amazon. Quick and safe UPS delivery. Inside the box is: the guitar, a guitar cord, a 195 page manual, 5 Allen keys, and some stuff from Chicago music (picks, cloth, sticker). The guitar tags are barcode which matches the serial number, Diadario XL tag, and one stamped and dated for each stage of manufacture (spec, electrical, setup). My guitar was built a few days after my birthday last year. Let's get the negatives out of the way: the slot in the pick guard for the 5-way selector switch is horrible! I'm including a photo of it. It's wavy and too long and wide so you see the metal mounting plate for the switch. These were black smudges UNDER the plastic static-cling covers! There were black smudges everywhere. After playing for a few minutes my hands were black too! I think it was the polishing grit from the fret work? The side of the neck has dots (which is really nice) but the two dots at the 12th fret are different sizes and the two dots at the 24th fret are misaligned from each other! I'm just glad they're there because I get lost staring at the tree of life, lol! So, buy a strap and one of those Scotch 3M white sponges for cleaning. The setup was great. No buzz. No extra height, the strings seem to be the same height above the 1st free as above the 24th fret: perfect! The frets are smooth. The fingerboard is barely radiused and is almost flat. The neck is very shallow, not a D (Gibson) or C shape, it's very shallow. This is obviously for very technical playing. The whole guitar is extremely light weight. Bizarrely light, which had me worried it was cheaply made. Unplugged the guitar is loud. This guitar is the LOUDEST one I've ever played! The pickups are wound super hot (loud). I was getting feedback with my little Crate amp at 4. I put it on 2 and put the guitar through a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal and a delay pedal into the distorted amp for a super saturated tone. Then I played "Surfing with the Alien" and was happy. When I got the guitar it was in tune. I just tightened the locks near the headstock at the 1st fret, then slightly tuned using the big knobs at the other end. Push whammy down, pull up it's still in tune. The manual had a few dozen pages explaining how to deal with the tremolo system: read it or you'll snap strings. It's smooth, it works and it doesn't squeek like the one on my Charvel. The actual whammy bar is bent upward SO THAT IT DOESN'T SMASH INTO THE VAROUS TUNING KNOBS ON THE TAILPIECE unlike the ones on a few other guitars I've played. The pick guard, truss cover on the headstock, tree of Life inlay and the two humbuckers glow under UV light. The middle pickup turns dark magenta/purple. The back of the guitar is beautiful and technologically impressive: where the body meets the neck, the body is rounded instead of sharply squared off like every other bolt on neck guitar if ever seen: smooth playing up to the 24th fret instead of smashed fingers at the 17th fret. The bolts are counter sunk in deep holes. The output jack is sunk in diagonally in a creative way and makes it easier to wrap your cord around the bottom of your guitar strap so you don't accidentally unplug yourself by stepping on your cord. The guitar is very bright sounding, even when unplugged. You get the wild and crazy Steve Vai clean tones, plus the usual distortion (depending on your amp). If you need double locking trem and know what that entails (bend one string and they all go sharp), Metallica style Palm muting is tougher, string changes take minutes instead of seconds then you're going to love this guitar. The neck is very, very flat and sterile feeling. A similar guitar for twice the price are the new Charvels, or the $200 old Charvettes off of eBay: more meat on the neck and you can palm mute like crazy and bend single strings like Danzig ala "Twist of Cain". This guitar makes me want to learn new things (Vai, Satriani, etc). It sort of feels like a piano. It's like a Squire Strat that doesn't hurt your hands. It's a technical learning and practicing guitar, not really a jam guitar. The monkey grip is for huge hands. It's kinda nice to have actually. The pointy wings of the guitar are sharp (as in pointy). The paint is so thick it looks like plastic dip coating (in a good way). Well, I've owned this guitar for 15 minutes and need to get back to it, lol. -Mike ... show more

  • Very Nice Guitar - I love it...
Color: White
Ibanez JEM Steve Vai Signature is one of my dream electric guitar specially EVO but I cant afford it and in the other hand I'm not an artist and Music playing in my band is only for pleasure and we are playing a cover songs. So I decided to by this model its not what I specifically dreamed but it has almost the same look hehe... I have a couple of guitar owned alread, Fender Strat mexican, Jackson, and Yamaha with Floyed Rose Bridge and I will compare it here this guitar with my Fender Strat... This guitar has a very nice tone, fretboad playability is exceptional, and lightweight. based on my preference comparing the tone between this guitar and the Fender Start, Fender has more nicer tone than this guitar (comparing humbacker and single coil pickups), they have maybe the same sustain, but the fretboard playability is that this guitar has exceptional maybe because it has a flat fretboard or "D" class? The reason that I give four star of this product is that, the guitar not setup perfectly, like the action string its too high. The factory or vendor should setup the guitar perfectly because they are the experts one... ... show more

  • Not set up or tested
Color: White
Excellent guitar! Sadly, guitar was not ready to play out of the box. A lot of work and adjustments needed to tune guitar, adjust string level, pickup level, and intonation was way off. After tackling the set up, guitar was very fuzzy when plugged in to amp. I tried different cables, different guitar and it was definitely the JEM JR at fault, possibly a grounding issue or bad input jack. It’s shocking that the guitar wasn’t at least tested beforehand, and if I’m buying new I really don’t expect to go through this amount of trouble trying to get it to work. ... show more

  • Almost a Great Guitar
Color: White
Beautiful guitar, but the floating trem need improvement. I have a few different guitars with Floyd Rose trems that stay in tune. This trem is an Ibanez trem and it just was not holding accurate tune. Therefore, I have returned this product as a result. The guitar is beautiful, it just needs the trem performance to match. ... show more
