Up for sale, a 1997 Ibanez JEM77-FP Steve Vai signature model in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. One of the longest-running JEM iterations, this early JEM features a Floral Pattern (FP) finish, reportedly modeled after curtains in Vai’s home.
Weighing 8lbs 3oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. 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 DiMarzio’s 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 JEM77-FP benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mikes’ Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

The subtle burst around the perimeter highlights the Floral Pattern finish, and cosmetic wear is limited to a couple minor dings on the lower bout perimeter and some small finish scratches around the body consistent with careful use. The satin on the neck profile is flawless.
The original hardshell case is included.
