  ericthegreat's review "simply beautiful "

  Characteristics

  The Ibanez Signature Series Steve Vai JEM7V is well worht the money spent. You wont be disappointed with this beauty. for sound you can do almost everything for the big sound of Metallica has the emg are preferable in any case large output level I find these pickups are pretty bold with lots of harmonics and the presence we can not say that it was via but the sound was a little something. this guitar is really superb choice I would do this without a doubt but I prefer the old models compare before buying seems reasonable.

  Utilization

  The drive tones are great. Harmonics and overtones just leap from the guitar and it has eons of sustain and a great lead voicing that lends itself well to whatever technique you throw at it, whether it's alternate picking, sweep arpeggios, tapping, etc, it'll do it and do it well. If you are still a burgeoning player it will help you to really want to improve with its great playability and awesome lead tones.

  Sounds

  The neck is really very good or excellent.
  
  After several hours playing with this stick, I put it at Washburn N4 those who are also fantastic. The ergonomics are excellent, the weight too is a light guitar and well balanced.
  
  The access is easy to acute. This gives a great sound, or rather sounds excellent with a wide range, namely that the 5 positions offer as many sounds. I will not detail everything that would be too long! Because this guitar is extremely versatile and offers such versatility that can play everything. Let me be very clear, it is indeed a signature guitar, but most do not focus on it, this guitar sounds very tender round and warm with these double, middle sounds very typical Fender Start.

  Overall Opinion

  Overall, I think the Ibanez Steve Fai series is a down right solid piece of equipment, they are pretty hard to find now adays though. I found some online a few months back but the price was too high for my liking. I am thinking about purchasing another one of these just to keep around the studio for anyone who wants to start jamming.

  Utilization

  This guitar was made just for Steve Vai, so that he could employ all the crazy guitar gymnastics he knows how to do, yet as easily and efficiently as possible. And to that end, it is a winner. It is fantastically easy to play, with sublime fretwork, neck carve, 4 scalloped frets, tremolo setup, cutaways, and pickup arrangement. It is well balanced, and the Edge tremolo system allows for some extreme bar techniques.

  Sounds

  This guitar sounds very driving, bright, crisp, aggressive, tender, singing, smooth, warm, spanky, funky, clear, all at the same time. Basically, it is designed to bring maximum accuracy to the amplifer of exactly what your fingers are doing. Its versatility allows it to succeed in utterly all styles of music, in any type of setting.

  Overall Opinion

  The only way this guitar can hold you back is by its appearance. By that, I mean, there are some bands, venues, and audiences that you probably couldn't get away with playing a guitar that looks like this. This model in particular is one of the classier, more generally socially acceptable models, with the nice white body, gold hardware, and vine inlay. But that build-in handle can certainly garner a lot of askance looks from onlookers. If you can get around the monkey grip, the guitar will do everything you ask from it.

  King Loudness's review "A real JEM"

  Characteristics

  The Ibanez JEM is a guitar designed by/for legendary guitar virtuoso Steve Vai back in 1987. This particular guitar came about in the mid nineties as a classier take on the florescent JEMs that ruled the scene during the eighties and early nineties. It features an alder body, a maple neck with either a rosewood or ebony fretboard (depending on the year, I believe post 2002 is rosewood for this model), 24 frets with the last four scalloped, a unique vine inlay, Ibanez tuners, an Edge Ibanez locking tremolo, and DiMarzio Evolution signature pickups made for Vai by Larry and co at DiMarzio. It's rounded off with a volume/tone control set and a 5 way selector.

  Utilization

  The JEM is possibly one of the most ergonomic guitars I've seen. Steve likes to really have a guitar that moves with him and this is a prime example. The alder body is light, and even offers the famed "monkey grip" if you want to swing it around a bit. It has a fairly thin neck which is great for people who want something ideal for shredding. The upper fret access is as good as it gets on these guitars... Steve designed it to near perfection and it shows... getting to 24 and even above that is absolutely no issue with this guitar!
  
  
  
  Getting a good tone out of this instrument is not an issue really. It was designed to be a bit more versatile than the typical Ibanez RG, which is known as a very high output shred machine. The Evolution pickups are high output but offer a good range of tones from clean to mean overall.

  Sounds

  This guitar is great for a multitude of things I find. Sure it's meant to excel at high gain lead applications, but for the price it costs I would hope it would do some other tones well. The clean sounds are pretty good. The EVO pickups are a little bit too hot for pristine vintage style cleans, but you can get a nice facsimile by using either position 2 or 4 on the selector switch which provides a nice out of phase quack. The humbuckers sound good clean, but are a little bit flat sounding for my tastes (a common complaint I have with Ibby cleans).
  
  
  
  The drive tones are great. Harmonics and overtones just leap from the guitar and it has eons of sustain and a great lead voicing that lends itself well to whatever technique you throw at it, whether it's alternate picking, sweep arpeggios, tapping, etc, it'll do it and do it well. If you are still a burgeoning player it will help you to really want to improve with its great playability and awesome lead tones.

  Overall Opinion

  All in all I think the Ibanez JEM is a great guitar for anyone looking for a great lead guitar that is designed to be a no compromises sort of instrument, perfect for an aspiring Steve Vai. At $2,750 new, it's pretty expensive and not something I would ever buy (I bought a Suhr Custom Modern built to my specs for less than $200 more) but if you're a Vai fan and have the dosh, it's well worth considering. The feel is there and the tones are there, so now you just need the 10,000 hours of practice and you'll be the next Vai... maybe.

  Hatsubai's review "One of the most famous JEMs"

  Characteristics

  Steve Vai has been a long time endorser of Ibanez products. In fact, I think he is the longest running endorser, but I'm not entirely sure. This guitar is probably his most iconic one as he's had it for years and years. It's gone through different changes throughout the years, but they generally have similar specs. The guitar has an alder body with a five piece maple/bubinga neck, rosewood fretboard with 24 frets, special vine inlay, unique handle carved out in it, an Ibanez Edge Pro tremolo, last few frets scalloped, HSH configuration, all access neck joint, one volume, one tone and a five way switch.

  Utilization

  This guitar is built pretty awesome. I'm a huge fan of the Prestige lineup by Ibanez guitars. First of all, the fretwork on this is top notch. I was able to achieve sickly low action without any issues at all. The neck is a touch thicker than the normal Prestige Wizard, and that's a good or bad thing, depending on who you are. The edges on the frets also felt very nice. The inlay work was cleanly done, and there weren't any annoying fillers. The neck joint on this is to die for. It makes it crazy easy to get up to the higher frets, and the last few scalloped frets add some additional grip for bending.

  Sounds

  Some people find this guitar a touch bright. It's true that it's bright, but I find it to be bright in a musical way. The Evo bridge pickup is crazy powerful. You can get all kinds of awesome pick squeals going on, and harmonics jump out like no tomorrow. The Evo neck is a bit bright for me, but by rolling down the tone knob a bit, I can get that fatter lead tone I usually desire. In between positions sound wonderful as always. It's almost like having a strat kind of sound.

  Overall Opinion

  If you're looking for a JEM, this'll probably be the number one guitar you'll be looking at. The guitar is great in every sense of the way, and if you buy used, you'll save tons of money. I highly recommend looking into these, especially if you're not a huge fan of the standard basswood that Ibanez likes to utilize in most of their guitars.

  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  (Originally written by Marmak/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  Ibanez JEM7VWH 2007 made in Japan by the J Craft team.
  
  
  
  Very slim neck, wide rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets (scalloped fingerboard on the four last frets).
  
  
  
  HSH DiMarzio Evolution pickups developed by Vai (the name of his favorite JEM - EVO - comes from there).
  
  
  
  Edge Pro Gold floating tremolo.
  
  
  
  Volume and tone controls.
  
  
  
  Bolt-on neck

  Utilization

  First of all, I want to stop the rumor saying that the current JEM 7V doesn't sound good because it has a rosewood fingerboard instead of an ebony one. FYI, Vai used 7-string Universe guitars with rosewood fingerboard on his Passion and Warfare album. JEM Floral and Swirl also had a rosewood fingerboard. And I don't think anyone would say they sound bad...
  
  
  
  In short, the neck is a delight and amazingly easy to play. The very low action and the string spacing allow you to play very clean.
  
  
  
  Excellent access to the upper frets but that's no surprise for an Ibanez. The scalloped fingerboard makes playing very easy and it makes tapping easier. Very nice!!
  
  
  
  Is it easy to get the right sound? Silly question: of course! Although it's the guitar that sounds like the guitarist, in other words it's the musician and not the instrument that makes up the tone.
  
  
  
  Note: I put adhesive tape on the neck pickup so that the high E string doesn't slip under the pickup. I recommend you to do the same because if it happens when you make a dive bomb you'll be very surprised. ;)

  Sounds

  The JEM is one of the most versatile guitars. But it has a strong character too (you recognize a JEM when you hear it).
  
  
  
  I play it with a JCM800 and a JCM900 plus an SS20 to get a Mesa sound. It's great!! A small ABY box allows me to switch between both amps and I feel like a god! Note: the JEM produces a wonderful sound with a polyphonic octaver (I use the EHX POG).
  
  
  
  This guitar sound great for everything from thrash to funk.
  
  
  
  The neck pickup has a very smooth sound and the bridge pickup a punchy and powerful sound. High class.

  Overall Opinion

  This guitar is excellent and of course I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. It's my favorite guitar (along with my Vigier Excalibur).
  
  
  
  But Ibanez increased its price recently and I don't know why. It's a pity and I give it a 9 because of that.

  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  (Originally written by Endrix/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  Guitar made in Japan by the J Craft team. My model has a scalloped rosewood fingerboard and was made this year.
  
  
  
  The guitar has an Ibanez Pro Edge tremolo under Floyd Rose license and Di Marzio Evolution pickups (two humbuckers and one single coil).
  
  
  
  Tone and volume controls.
  
  
  
  Typical Ibanez neck: very flat and slim, similar to the RG models.
  
  
  
  I also owned one of the first models with ebony fingerboard and I can't notice any difference compared to the current versions with rosewood fingerboard.

  Utilization

  For me the neck is the most important part of the guitar and that's the reason I decided to play a Jem (among other things). I find this neck is great. It's fast and comfortable, but it's not the best neck I know (I also play a Charvel).
  
  
  
  Access to the upper frets is easy thanks to the great neck/body junction.
  
  
  
  The guitar is light and I love that.
  
  
  
  The sound is even better because the guitar is extremely versatile in spite of its heavy metal look.
  
  
  
  The neck humbucker allows you to play everything from pop to rock and ballads or even jazz licks.
  
  
  
  The middle position provides typical Strat sounds.
  
  
  
  And of course the bridge humbucker produces a killer sound for heavy metal.
  
  
  
  This guitar is extremely versatile. I don't know any other modern Strat that provides such a wide sound palette.

  Sounds

  I already wrote above about the sound. I only want to repeat it's an ultra versatile instrument. I play it with all my amps and I always get very good results.
  
  
  
  The clean sound is good with both tube and solid-state amps. The guitar always sounds good.
  
  
  
  On the contrary, the bridge pickup gives much better results with tube amps... but that's always the case with every guitar!
  
  
  
  To keep it short, this Jem offers every possible sound! I also own a Gibson Les Paul but I don't take it out of its case anymore because the Jem offers me a typical Gibson sound with my Mesa Mark IV amp and I like its neck a lot more. It's the same thing regarding clean sound: the middle pickup sounds very good and once again it's more comfortable to play the Jem than a Strat. Its typical Ibanez neck makes it easy to play any music style with any technique.
  
  
  
  I only moderate my opinion because I have a new purchase, a Charvel SoCal and in spite of its great value, the Ibanez doesn't have the magic of the Charvel.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been playing a Jem for 14 years (counting my first Jem)!
  
  
  
  I like almost everything about this guitar!!
  
  
  
  The only thing I don't like that much is the Pro Edge tremolo. Considering the technical aspect, it's a fantastic tremolo that gives you more possibilities than an original Floyd Rose but I find the Vigier tremolo with ball bearing has a longer life. So I put this guitar on the same level as another wonderful instrument, the Vigier Excalibur Custom.
  
  
  
  I like this guitar a lot because it's the only one that gives me the sounds I love. If you want to play Vai stuff you have to own this guitar.
  
  
  
  The value for money is average because even though a Jem is less expensive than a Vigier, and many other lesser guitars, it's still quite expensive because it's a signature model.
  
  
  
  I would choose it again but there are new instruments hitting the market and I sold my Washburn N4 (awful look and average sound) to buy a real Charvel US, which is an amazing guitar! The advantage of the Charvel is that you buy a guitar and nothing else (no signature, no deluxe case, no nothing just the guitar). But the Jem still has its own sound.

  Juni41's review ( translated ) Improve this translation "Ultra versatile, practical and surprising"

  Characteristics

  I am fortunate to possder 2 Indeed, a "rcente" of 2007 and a "vintage" of 1993.
  
  The 1993 is my main guitar live.
  
  
  
  The '93 has a few Difference compared to today.
  
  The handle is in one pice saddle and the key is a beautiful dark wood bne.
  
  There is also a big polmique dtail on this, some argue that the old key with bne are better than the new key with rosewood.
  
  Trs honntement, I hear absolutely no difference between the two.
  
  But I agree with lovers bne because I do not understand that for a guitar so beautiful, a ct of basswood Ibanez covers in order to have a pure white, but on the other c t they ask the beautiful tree of life inlay on a rosewood button.
  
  I am a designer and it dtail trs important that I find on this guitar, it sounds worse or better, I know I hear a diffrence, but as I find the tree of life on the beautiful bne very dark, as a key rosewood I think it's ugly limit.
  
  
  
  Micro evo of the bridge have also changed it seems.
  
  I read quite often that Steve Vai had to change the bridge humbucker because it was the output level too lev. O In the second version of the Evo 2 Humbucker in 2004.
  
  Bin plutt is weird but comparing my two trs JEM is that it is the new net which has the largest potato-level sound. So does my old micro fatigus are, I do not know.
  
  On micro I draw attention to a problem not emphasized enough in my opinion, it's HUGE Difference in output level between the humbucker and single coil. The diffrence is really important and not look like much is really a shame because can not switch between single / Humber in one piece without even Whereas a loss in volume.
  
  
  
  Apart from these dtails are strictly same shovels. The sleeves have a feeling exactly the same (I do not think the '93 have a sticky finish more than the other as like the rumor).
  
  
  
  The violin is no default, requires Fujigen quality, micro DiMarzio Evo trs are versatile and have a big, big potato trs, it can also violate the easel, np, ca agreement will remain properly !

  Utilization

  It's not my Premire Ibanez and I quickly used to the handle trs flat, broad and typical end Ibanez.
  
  It is enjoyable and trs dconcertant of easy to play solo, riff, etc. arpges.
  
  For cons I take this opportunity to break up the legends "over the neck is thin and flat better" because it is as much a super enjoyable guitar solo by lead and, as if you ever need to do the rhythm / agreements prparez you morfler ..
  
  With this scratch I start to understand the purpose of the sleeves composed radius.
  
  The handle of the JEM is highly uncomfortable to play chords on Premire box, honest I sometimes have to accompany other guitarists and every time it is the horror I hurt all over hand in less than 30 seconds.
  
  So that's something important trs Whereas before purchase.
  
  
  
  But other than that, with the AANJ (all access neck joint) handle large cargo and hollow while the 21-24 is an orgasm vritable to play the high notes with such ease.
  
  
  
  Level weight must mfier, it is not unlike the majority of basswood JEM and is therefore heavier she looks. My '93 is just over 3.4kg, which is of the same dj monsters away from Gibson.
  
  I have some heavy guitars plutt with which I can not play standing up too long with my JEM no worries, I play 2 4 hours non stop.
  
  
  
  If we have the fast knob volume constant of 10, where the saturation is natural adj microphones, one can get without too much problem trs a good sound.

  Sounds

  Well I'm not a huge fan of Steve Vai but when you have this guitar in the hands of a few hours it becomes clear that he'll be really done everything possible to get almost exactly the same sound as Steve Vai.
  
  She really a characters own this guitar and Steve Vai really great exploit Russia.
  
  So that's where you ask yourself the question again, yes we can really make this guitar with Steve Vai lol.
  
  
  
  Then look despite its typical metal, one would expect good distortion but clean blah blah ... And yet ...
  
  The clean sound of this guitar are just sublime and configuration of the switch allows a versatile excellent.
  
  Position 1 and 5 was really a "full", full, rich, clean and hot typs Humbucker Gibson Les Paul (without really grain, evo is "cleaner", more "modern") and 2,3-4 and was this time sounds trs Fender Start, tantt bluesy, funky, bright well for the country ...
  
  On mine I install a miniswicth that allows me to play only with split humbuckers (which you can not do under normal circumstances), and I really dynamic compression of a neck pickup of strato plans for the Gilmour or SRV, and sounds brilliant trs / pops when easel.
  
  
  
  If this guitar is my main shovel in my group today is that I find very practical since it allows me to have tantt nice clean sound for arpges, sounds funky to the rhythm and big humbucker sound for distortion. It m'vite really take to have a Start and a Les Paul.
  
  Please note I do not say it sounds better, nothing worth a grain of Gibson and the dynamics of a Fender, but the JEM is an excellent compromise to make the shovel scne without changing every 5 minutes .
  
  
  
  There's really only one thing noise that I can blame this guitar is the lack of "grain" of distortion / crunch sound but hey it's clean and modern Ibanez.

  Overall Opinion

  I last year and played with all the RPTES / concerts since.
  
  
  
  I had over 30 guitars in the hands of which 4 or 5 Ibanez and even if I prfre grain / personality the greater the Fender / Gibson I've always loved playing on the Ibanez sleeves.
  
  
  
  JEM is truly my '93 I love my prfr jouabilit his neck for solos, the versatile sound, weight lightweight .. and of course her beauty!
  
  For me its a round black spots are uncomfortable for the rhythm, not a personality but Submitted trs brand, the long and tedious rglages the floating bridge.
  
  
  
  I had normment guitars and this one is by far the most convenient and most flexible of all. It's perfect my group or I have to play a large number of musical styles. It really is THE guitar to have at home when you love music gnral and therefore full of DIFFERENT kinds trs.
  
  
  
  One last advice I give is to try to intresss ct of the OCCAZ and because international prices in France are absolutely outrageous compared to other countries .. I found my 1000th 1993 in Japan and I had the chance to go through customs charges ahahah.

  fitipaldi00's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Guitar Master!"

  Characteristics

  Japanese manufacturing, factory Fujigen by the team Jcraft
  
  specifications have been repeatedly cited,
  
  reminder,
  
  handle 24 cases, flat profile and rather thin, but thicker than the Sabre, it was said on the other hand too large handle that is very relevant to modern technology but failed when it comes from a vintage rpfil.
  
  Evolution mics two doubles and one single, with a notable difference in output level between the position and double intermediate positions with simple micro environment.
  
  This is a recent model with rosewood fingerboard.

  Utilization

  The handle is nice but needs time to adapt by what it is wide, but once accustomed, it is very interesting, especially if you want to go play in the plans .. Vai. Do not lose sight, it seems, this is a signature guitar and not just any.
  
  
  
  The ergonomics are perfect, everything about this guitar is designed to facilitate the game
  
  
  
  It gets all the sounds you want, again, is in the Vai guitar, it suffices to know the record of this artist to know that his guitar is capable of making almost all the sounds that one asks an electric guitar. This guitar delivers the sound you want, depending on pickups selected, setting the tone. He is obviously having an amplification performance, plugged into a Bogner is the dream, anything is possible. For me, it's a guitar studio that wants to have maximum versatility.

  Sounds

  Obtained the right sound was the question that was asked just before.
  
  
  
  So yes, I get all the sounds I want.
  
  
  
  I mainly branch in a Bogner Alchemist is the perfect blend that allows the guitar to express its enormous potential.
  
  
  
  I do not hate anything in this guitar, no regrets or anything.

  Overall Opinion

  I use this guitar for two years, but I had one before, so my experience JEM not date from yesterday, I am the true superstrate that exceeds all others that I I have tried.
  
  
  
  I tried many other models and owned and played many other guitars (Ton Anderson ....)
  
  
  
  Superstrate is true, the most powerful.
  
  
  
  Everything is ok in this guitar.
  
  
  
  Only the value for money leaves a bit to be desired, Ibanez made to pay dearly for their "signature" Made In Japan.
  
  
  
  It's a shame. I therefore give 9 as Excellent, but not for Perfect 10, because the price is still a bit high.
  
  
  
  That said, there are in the range of Ibanez RG Jem very close to this that are sold at prices much lower, failing to buy a new or used Jem, do not hesitate to seek this path.
  
  
  
  IBAN rest masterfully demonstrates great skill in making modern guitar.
  
  
  
  The other thing I appreciate tremendously from Ibanez is the stability of their string instruments. I've never encountered any problem violin whatever the terms of use, transportation, storage, it's very serious, their wood is ok, it's still nice, it matters because I had some heartbreaking experiences with other brands.
  
  
  
  I of course do it again this election, a Start, a Tele, a Jaguar, a Gibson LP, a superstrate Ibanez and with such a team ....
  
  
  
  What happiness!

  dave-77's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  everything has been said before.
  
  after it depends on the year:
  
  Ebony before 2004 and a single party.
  
  from 2004 3-piece maple fingerboard.
  
  Pro Edge Floyd starting in 2010 or 2011

  Utilization

  the neck is very flat only negative (in fact c is subjective it depends on other types that they handle you because you don not have the same feeling I speak knowingly) the width (height) it is better to have large steve vai paws as it can be a confusing but can be used to it in a few semaines.hormis s ca c is a highway.
  
  the floyd yours though c is almost equivalent to the original floyd Me I prefer the original I find that there are more sensitivities.
  
  j've owned a 2009 a 2004 and 2003 and I found that there is a difference quite noticeable if you are looking for a Used try a new and an old, old loves Me j n but I absolutely love not recent.
  
  Why?
  
  I know I'm not a pro in the violin.

  Sounds

  for sound you can do almost everything for the big sound of metallica has the emg are preferable in any case large output level I find these pickups are pretty bold with lots of harmonics and the presence we can not say that it was vai but the sound was a little something.

  Overall Opinion

  this guitar is really superb choice I would do this without a doubt but I prefer the old models compare before buying seems reasonable.

  R3dlight's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Everything has been said 100 times, I just want to share with you the good I think this guitar ...

  Utilization

  The handle is of another world, comfortable, fast and cherry on the cake: the tree of life is splendid!
  
  The access is particularly acute incredible
  
  Sound, it's bah Di Marzio, sleek, powerful, precise

  Sounds

  Honestly, I play the guitar for 20 years, I have tried almost everything (Vigiers the PRS through the fender and gibson another), this guitar is a UFO ... This is my favorite guitar, it occupies a special place. It's like a love story that lasts a thunderbolt at first, and then nothing goes away, everything gets better with age, we discover new things, new sounds. "Crying Machine" as the father Vai said it exactly right ... very good sustain for a vibrato so violent, this guitar is alive!
  
  I kept only three electric guitars: Godin LGX one (for the piezo), a stratum and the JEM, and I must tell you that when I go to the JEM in the stratum, I really have a big sense of frustration ...

  Overall Opinion

  I play mainly over a Mesa / Boogie and contrary to what a person says, I think that really is the top on my Mesa ...
  
  The price is high but it gives me a work of art ...
  
  I would do it without hesitating one second choice ... I honestly have nothing to criticize, just happiness!
