For sale is a truly immaculate 1998 Ibanez JEM7V White, crafted at the legendary Fujigen factory in Japan. This is a "Golden Era" JEM, featuring the premium specifications that are no longer available on the modern versions of this model.

This guitar has been exceptionally well-preserved and is in near mint condition.

Key "Golden Era" Features:

• Fretboard: Genuine Ebony fretboard (switched to Rosewood in later years) with a stunning, crisp "Tree of Life" vine inlay.
• Bridge: The coveted Lo-Pro Edge tremolo—widely considered the best-feeling and most stable bridge Ibanez ever produced.
• Pickups: Original DiMarzio Evolution (HSH) set.
• Neck: Original 1-piece Maple neck with the signature JEM profile and "Prestige" fret edge treatment.

Condition:

• Overall: 9.5/10. The finish is immaculate with no "monkey grip" dings or neck pocket cracks.
• Hardware: Gold plating is in incredible shape. There is only the slightest, nearly imperceptible wear on the bridge, which is rare for a 28-year-old instrument.
• Frets: Excellent condition with virtually no wear.

Included:

• Original Ibanez UV/JEM Hardshell Case (Maroon/Pink plush lining).
• Original Ibanez Multi-tool and tremolo arm.
• All original "Case Candy" and documentation.

This is a rare opportunity to own the specific version of the JEM7V that defined Steve Vai’s sound throughout the late 90s.
