Up for sale, a 1990 Ibanez JEM777V in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. This iteration of Steve Vais signature JEM was produced in Japan at the Fujigen factory, featuring a Floyd Rose-licensed Edge tremolo, HSH trio of DiMarzio pickups, monkey grip, and 24-fret rosewood slab fingerboard with scalloping on the last four frets.
The HSH trio of DiMarzio pickups comprise a pair of PAF Pro humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions and a JEM single coil in the middle. The PAF Pro is one of DiMarzios classic humbucker designs, delivering the open, articulate sound of a PAF with more presence and cut, ensuring no muddiness when played with heavy processing. It has an ideal blend of snap and chunk, with a spike in the midrange that provides a subtle aw vowel sound, described by DiMarzio as like a wah-wah pedal stopped in the middle.” These full-sounding pickups pair well with the sparkling cut and snap of the DiMarzio JEM single coil at positions two and four on the switch. This JEM777V weighs 7lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mikes Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action and accurate intonation.
