MGR/toast « Ibanez JEM7VWH »
Published on 05/05/04 at 15:00I got it on a special day from Music123.
Got it because my old guitar was poo.
It was paid about 1800 USD for it.
The list goes on about the Jem. To start this endless list, I'll first say the neck.
The neck is great, fast. It uses Ibanez's JEM neck, and is thin, which is good.
The output jack is at a location so that you just put it through the guitar strap, and then slip it in. It's at the bottom of the guitar just to the right of the strap knob.
The H-S-H is a great setup. The DiMarzio Evolutions have great tone. So hot they burn to touch! The single coil has a good tone (not sure what kind of pickup it is, but it's DiMarzio).
I love the monkey grip =D (the hand grip at the top of the guitar body)
I love the floating bridge system in conjuction with a locking nut. It's great. And the way the whammy bar goes in, you just push it in, now screwing it.
Has nice looking gold hardware. And the vine is great looking. (not shiny, but not dull)
Extremely nice tone. Get a lot of different sounds.
I think I might take up two pages if I keep this up...anywho...
The 21-24 are scalloped. Doesn't hinder any shred (or mine atleast), yet the vibrato come out well on it.
The single coil could've been shielded better. And the action could've been set better. But you can shield it pretty well and easily, and take it to the shop and get action set pretty low. It'd be cool to have two different tone knobs and two different volume knobs some times.
It was constructed very well and the quality is of great quality =D Only thing they missed was a string was off tune by a few cents and the action was kinda high.
Very excellent guitar. Very nice features. Great sound. Great feel. And, to top it all off, Steve Vai uses this exact guitar (or atleast his own JEM7VWH named "Evo").
The guitar is beatiful. I'd be playing it right now if I weren't typing this review.
