Ibanez Steve Vai

Ibanez and Steve Vai have had a mutually beneficial relationship since the mid 80s when Ibanez produced the Vai-designed Jem guitar. Now over 30 years on, Steve continues to play the Jem with new models appearing yearly in a range that shows no signs of slowing down.

The Ibanez Jem is an immediately recognisable instrument. This 'Steve Vai guitar' has a carrying handle cut into its body for one thing! The Jem also has a wonderful vine inlay travelling up the entire length of the fingerboard as well as a long history of incredible finishes that include swirl designs, floral patterns and bright neon solid colours.

Here at guitarguitar we love Steve Vai and we love Ibanez so we are nearly always the first to get new Jem models in stock in the UK! Some of the more affordable models including the Jem JR are among our best selling guitars (especially in Desert Sun Yellow and Shocking Pink!), so we maintain large stock levels of these models in order to satisfy demand for a guitar range that refuses to conform or compromise.
