Guitar Information
he JEM77, also known as the JEM77 FP (Floral Pattern), is a JEM series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1988. It is a signature model produced for American guitarist Steve Vai.
The JEM77 features a special floral pattern finish which is printed on cloth and glued to the body. The edges are then painted black and a thick clear coat is applied to the entire guitar. The idea for the fabric covered body came from Vai and the floral pattern was modeled after curtains in Vai's home
My Thoughts
Steve Vai right from the early days of crossroads the guy has led the way in modern guitar playing, the jem range is so easily recognised given the finishes and of course the monkey grip, but what is sometimes forgotten is how great these guitars are to play and fabulous they sound, by the way picked this one up in mint condition from a pawn shop in a small village who would have thought.
