Ibanez JEM

Signature superstrat electric guitar family

The signature guitar of virtuoso Steve Vai, introduced in 1987 and built as a high-performance superstrat. It is famous for its "monkey grip" handle cut into the body, a scalloped upper fingerboard, 24 frets, a recessed double-locking tremolo, and high-output pickups, all tailored to Vai's extreme technique.
