Unique Body & Limited-Edition Finish This stunning limited-edition model from the Steve Vai range features a mahogany body accompanied by a maple neck and jatoba fingerboard offering high-quality tonewoods with an eye-catching grain. A signature monkey grip is incorporated into the guitars design and adds to its unique appearance. The JEM Junior is given a finish inspired by the shocking pink finish of Steve Vais JEM777 30th Anniversary model. Wizard III Neck & Angled Headstock The use of Ibanezs own Wizard III neck provides an extremely playable performance optimised for lead guitarists. The thin nature of the neck helps perform swift and nimble guitar runs seamlessly whilst retaining enough substance to ensure a thick and full resonance when playing rhythm patterns and chords. The angled headstock not only provides a stylish appearance but also offers better string pressure. By increasing the pressure on the strings it helps them stay in the nut slots and decreases loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners offering better sustain and smooth playability. Infinity HSH Pickups Steve Vai’s limited-edition JEM Junior is equipped with classic Infinity pickups which the original JEM junior featured before being replaced by a set of Quantum pickups. The bridge Infinity Humbucker offers a rich driving leads with an enhanced midrange and excellent dynamics. The neck Infinity Humbucker delivers a versatile responsive tonality providing articulate rhythm sections that retain clarity and offer extra tightness when overdriven. Set in the middle is the infinity single-coil pickup designed to work with the humbuckers in split mode and enhance the tone with classic characteristics.
