USED Ibanez / JEM7VSBL Steve Vai Sparkly Blue [11]

The JEM7VSBL is the Steve Vai signature model of Ibanez's famous JEM series.
This model was produced in limited quantities at the Fuji Strings factory in Japan from 2002 to 2004, and is a rare gem that combines a beautiful sparkling blue finish with unparalleled playability. It has a presence that is truly worthy of its nickname "Blue Steel.
The body is made of alder for excellent tone balance, and the pickups are H-S-H DiMarzio Evolution pickups, which are at the heart of Steve Vai's sound. From clear clean to aggressive distortion, it has the expressive power to respond precisely to the player's touch. In addition, the neck has been scalloped at the 21st and 24th frets in pursuit of playability in the upper register, and is designed for guitarists who demand the utmost in technique.
Beautiful "Tree of Life" inlays adorn the fingerboard, the iconic "Monkey Grip" grip holes, and "Lion 's Claw" on the back of the body, Steve Vai's aesthetics are evident in every detail, making this a work of art that transcends the boundaries of a mere signature.
The pickguard, rod cover, and back panel have all been replaced with genuine Ibanez parts. The knobs have been replaced with new SCUD knobs, and are in good condition for those who are concerned about deterioration due to age.
There is a crack at the neck joint on the bass string side and several paint chips on the lower part of the body. The logo on the pickups is partially peeled off, and the pegs and bridge have peeling plating. There is rust on the pickguard screws and center pickup screw.
Neck is near straight and in good playing condition.
