1987 Ibanez JEM777-LNG Steve Vai Signature Vintage Guitar Loch Ness Green, 100% Original
Up for sale, a 1987 Ibanez JEM777-LNG in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This first-year iteration of Vai’s signature JEM was produced in Japan at the Fujigen factory, and distinctive features including a “monkey grip,” a Floyd Rose-licensed Edge tremolo with the rare bridge guard only seen on the earliest examples, an HSH trio of DiMarzio pickups, and a 24-fret maple neck with scalloping on the last four frets and “Disappearing Pyramid” inlays. This well-kept guitar features the gloss Loch Ness Green finish, one of only 777 guitars to boast that particular finish, which was only used in ‘87 and ‘88.
The pickup complement features a pair of DiMarzio PAF Pro humbuckers paired with a DiMarzio JEM middle position single coil. Designed to interact well with high gain amps while delivering plenty of presence and rich harmonic content, the PAF Pro pickups retain the dynamic, detailed qualities of the PAF design. Low notes have both snap and chunk with a midrange spike that provides a subtle cocked-wah response. This JEM777 weighs 7lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action and accurate intonation.
