Ibanez Jem Jr Black

Steve Vai's signature guitar, the Jem, was designed in the '80s and this more affordable version appeared in 2015.

As with all JEM models the body features Vai's signature monkey grip on the upper body and lion's claw rout behind the bridge.

The JEMJR features a mahogany body bolted to a maple Wizard III neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with Tree of Life vine inlays. Components include Ibanez Quantum pickups mounted in a pickguard with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil, a double locking tremolo bridge, a locking nut and an angled output jack.
