1997 Ibanez JEM77-FP Steve Vai Signature Vintage Guitar Black Floral Pattern

1997 Ibanez JEM77-FP Steve Vai Signature Vintage Guitar Black Floral Pattern

Up for sale, a 1997 Ibanez JEM77-FP Steve Vai signature model in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. One of the longest-running JEM iterations, this early JEM features a Floral Pattern (FP) finish, reportedly modeled after curtains in Vai’s home.

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 weighs 7lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mikes’ Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

Neck Specs:

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: JEM (slender D), measuring .745” 1st fret, .835” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, 24-fret (scalloping on 21-24), fluorescent green vine inlays
-Frets: Jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, locking
-Tuners: Gotoh
-Serialization: F97-prefix

Body Specs:

-Wood: Basswood
-Pickups: DiMarzio PAF Pro humbucker x2, DiMarzio JEM single coil x1
-Controls: Volume, Tone, Five-way pickup selector switch
-Hardware: Lo-Pro Edge tremolo
-Plastics: One-ply transparent pickguard, hot pink Strat-style knobs

The subtle burst around the perimeter highlights the Floral Pattern finish, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few dings on top, a couple minor finish chips on the perimeter, and some small nicks and finish scratches. The satin on the neck profile is flawless.

An Ibanez-branded gigbag is included.
