The Ibanez JEMJR 6-String Electric Guitar in White brings the original Steve Vai signature JEM into a much more affordable price bracket. It is a scaled down version in terms of spec but does not compromise on playability or craftsmanship.
The Jem Junior comes with three quantum picks across the board allowing a huge amount of room for tonal sculpting.
Note, this is a full sized guitar and not a junior size guitar.

WOW, That is what i was awaiting for long time, JEM Serial for little money.
I recommend to buy , I own a number of superb range of guitars from the same price category from different manufacturers , and over the years Ive been playing with different microphones . This guitar is light , feel good to play it , fast neck. Steve Vai Signature guitar IS GOOD !!!
Bought this as my pandemic-induced 'getting back into playing' guitar after a break from playing. I have played guitar for years and have played many different guitars. I chose this because yes, I'm a Vai fan, but it is also a great guitar for under €500. I didn't want to break the bank because I'm only jamming at home/with friends for the moment, not playing gigs. If this sounds like you, then you won't be disappointed with this guitar. I'll cut to the chase:
Nothing about this guitar feels cheap.
The Wizard III neck is a pleasure to play, my playing speed seems to have increased straight out of the box.
The Tree of Life inlay is just so beautiful. Every time I look at it - it never gets old.
People say that they upgrade the pickups, put on a floyd rose etc. The guitar is honestly great by itself, but even if you do decide to upgrade that down the line, all of that stuff is relatively cheap compared to buying a real JEM and you will then have a top of the range Ibanez for a fraction of the price.
I really like this guitar. The wide flat fingerboard and thin neck make it a breeze to play. The high E string is not too close to the edge of the fretboard. The frets look like medium jumbo and have a slight roughness to the edges but play very well with no rattles or choke outs on big bends. It played great straight out of the box. The pickups are not bad except for squealing feedback at high gain. The middle pickup sounded better than I expected, quite stratty. The trem won't last forever apparently. In time I will probably upgrade the pickups and maybe the trem but it's good as it is. It does have that Steve Vai type of sound.
