- Made in Japan by Team J. Craft
- 24 frets, DiMarzio Evolution HSH configuration
- Bridge Floyd Rose type Ibanez Edge Pro (on rollers) and nut block 'chords
- A volume knob, one tone (Stratocaster style), a 5-way switch
- Manche Luxury (ultra fine and a touch wide) according to specific requests for Jem Steve, rosewood fingerboard completely pearly
- Gold hardware

UTILIZATION

- Not easily possible to do more end, the handle is a highway, scallopée button on the last 4
- Access to acute absolutely perfect given the canted to the extreme (but not as much as a JS or HLM, fortunately also for aesthetics ...)
- A balance very well thought out, a very reasonable weight, especially compared to the 555 ...
- An extra touch, an impeccable finish ', much better than any other stringed instruments. A very mild polish, painting beautiful abalone inlay a "tree of life" over the entire key PRS envied ...

SOUNDS

- The sound of Steve though some will tell you otherwise, you get the perfect grain (at least not use the proper effect ...)
- A reasonable sustain a floating bridge
- The neck pickup full of warmth in a style SD SH1, very jazzy, a simple micro via is useless and does not deliver enough output and finally a pickup full of potatoes, a large output level of force-fed harmonics.

OVERALL OPINION

- A guitar that has nothing to envy the greatest creations of this small planet in the field, and for holding my hands Vigier or lag (to stay in the same class of instruments) ...
- The real Jem, the only, the monster, the plane that I say: the UFO!

PS: Purchased new in Flycase Ibanez Prestige in the United States on ebay for € 1400 with port without customs taxes !!!!! Hihihihihi ... I also wish you much luck ...
