Ibanez JEM555 Steve Vai Signature 1998 White [SN C8027011]
The JEM555, a high cost-performance version of Steve Vai's longtime favorite JEM, is now available in Korea.
It has a basswood body, JEM-shaped 1-piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets, and the symbolic tree of life inlays from the 2nd to 12th frets, with STEVE VAI on the 24th fret block inlay.
All pickups are DiMarzio EVOLUTION, Steve Vai's model, and the bridge is a recess-mounted Lo TRS II tremolo.
The ultra-slim neck, near-flat fretboard radius, jumbo frets, and high-power pickups with well-balanced and elegant sound output, all of the specifications to reproduce Steve Vai's superb technique are included in this model.
Overall, there is discoloration due to sunburn, especially on the center pickup cover, control knob, and selector switch knob.
The truss rod cover is missing, and there are linear scratches on the body back.
There are some scratches and dents scattered throughout the instrument, but it has been maintained and cleaned at our repair center, so playability is not a problem.
