Ibanez Jem 77FP
[Submit a Review]

Price Paid: $1900 CDN
Description: Made in Korea. Hum-sing-hum pickup combination (two DiMarzio PAF Pro humbuckers, and one JEM single coil), superstrat (RG) body shape with Monkey Grip, lo pro edge trem, Floral Pattern Finish.
Tone:
Comments: This guitar gives me the right balance for lead work. The 2nd and 4th position is great for acoustic work. The trem bar, if setup correctly, can pull up 5 steps, and can still be pushed down enough to make all the strings slack completely. I play it through my Marshall AVT 2000 275w amp. It can sing like an angel, and growl like a beast. I've never tried it through a Carvin Legacy, but I will one day. It would probably sound incredible!
Quality: N/A
Comments: The finish is great. This model is now discontinued, and plus I got it signed by Dr. Steve Vai himself! It's very durable. I pull Steve Vai stunts on it all the time.
Overall: N/A
Pros: Durable, great tone, great feel, one of the top guitars in the industry.
Cons: The only thing I would add (but wouldn't to maintain the original build of the guitar) is a sustainer system.
