Up for sale, a 1997 Ibanez JEM77-FP Steve Vai signature model in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. One of the longest-running JEM iterations, this early JEM features a Floral Pattern (FP) finish, reportedly modeled after curtains in Vai’s home.
Tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. The HSH trio of DiMarzio pickups comprise a pair of PAF Pro humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions and a JEM single coil in the middle: the PAF Pro is one of DiMarzio’s classic humbucker designs, delivering the open, articulate sound of a PAF with more presence and cut, ensuring no muddiness when played with heavy processing. It has an ideal blend of snap and chunk, with a spike in the midrange that provides a subtle “aw” vowel sound, described by DiMarzio as “like a wah-wah pedal stopped in the middle." These full-sounding pickups pair well with the sparkling cut and snap of the DiMarzio JEM single coil at positions two and four on the switch. This JEM77-FP weighs 7lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mikes’ Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
