JEM/UV - Steve Vai

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.

	The Tree of Life inlay is a signature feature of the JEM's storied past.

	The JEM's groundbreaking Lion's Claw tremolo cavity allows pitches to be radically raised or lowered without obstruction.

	One of the most recognizable features on the fantastic JEM7V: Steve Vai's signature monkey grip. Crank your amp up, grab that baby and hold on for dear life.

	Steve Vai's Signature JEM7V features DiMarzio® Evolution® humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions and a DiMarzio® Evolution® single coil in the middle position for a wide array of rock tones.

EDGE-PRO TREMOLO

In the last two decades, no other guitar maker besides Ibanez has done so much to advance the art and science of the tremolo. The Edge-PRO represents the next phase in locking tremolos.

FEATURES CLICK TO ENLARGE


	To avoid the problem of string holder blocks getting lost during string changes, the Edge-PRO’s sliding string holders are actually part of the bridge and won’t drop from the saddle unit.

	With the Edge-PRO design, there’s no need to cut off the ball end of your strings when installing new strings.

	The Edge-PRO features a unique Sound Metal Chip on each saddle which helps increase sustain right at the most critical area, the intonation point.
