| Ibanez JEM7VWH Steve Vai signature guitar:
1993 saw the introduction of one of the most popular signature guitars ever. - the ibanez Jem collection, as designed by the legendary Steve Vai!
"when Ibanez approached me I gave them the chance I gave every other company; I handed them my prototype and said 'Here's the guitar I want - make me one exactly like it." - Steve Vai.
The Jem 7WH was a huge evolutionary step for the Jem collection. All previous production Jems were made of basswood, but the 7WH had an alder body. The DiMarzio PAF Pro humbucking pickups were replaced in this model by high-output DiMarzio Evolution pickups designed with Steve. The fingerboard was ebony instead of rosewood or maple, and the guitar featured pearl/abalone inlays and gold hardware. The prototype is still Steve's main guitar over 5 years later.
Features:
Contoured basswood or alder bodies with 24-fret Prestige JEM neck provides easy access to all registers. Deep routed tremolo cavities allow pitches to be lowered or raised. Vai's choice of specific DiMarzio pickups for each model and combined with Ibanez Split-5 wiring to provide incredible tonal versatility.
