JEM Series

The Ibanez JEM Series was introduced in 1987 as the original Steve Vai signature guitar and remains one of the most influential electric guitar designs ever produced. Developed in close collaboration with Steve Vai, the JEM introduced groundbreaking features including the iconic Monkey Grip handle, scalloped upper frets, deep body contours, and high-performance floating tremolo systems. Built around the fast-playing Wizard-style neck and equipped with versatile HSH pickup configurations, the JEM delivers exceptional playability and a huge range of tones suitable for everything from clean passages to high-gain lead work. Available in numerous variations over the years, from collectible Japanese-built originals to modern Prestige models, the JEM continues to be a benchmark for virtuoso guitar performance and innovative design. At Rich Tone Music, we offer a selection of new, used, and pre-owned Ibanez JEM guitars at competitive prices. Looking to sell?
