USED Ibanez / JEM555-BK Steve Vai [3.36 kg / 1994]

Based on its black pickguard and specs, this is a 1994 Cort model made in Korea—a value-for-money version of the JEM series favored by Steve Vai.

This is the Ibanez JEM555 BK. It features a basswood body with a distinctive monkey grip, a one-piece maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with Tree of Life and pearloid dot position markers. It is equipped with DiMarzio Evolution V2/ISCV2/V3 pickups and a Lo TRS II tremolo.

With its striking looks, this guitar boasts the same high playability as the Ibanez RG series.

The tremolo arm is a different color, and there are signs of use (such as minor scratches, scuffs, wear marks, playing lines, picking marks, string indentations on the fingerboard, and cosmetic damage like tarnish, pitting, or rust on metal parts and screws).

Set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment, and fret leveling). The frets are at a height that poses no issues for playing, and the truss rod has been checked up to 60° in both directions and is in good condition.

Condition Grade: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use
