Item too expensive?

Description Data sheet Reviews

For his film Crossroads (1986), Walter Hill was looking for a guitarist "...who could play Eddie Van Halen's ass off and also look good", said Ry Cooder (music) in an interview. In Steve Vay, he found an artist who, at the latest from this point on, achieved international fame. With foresight, Ibanez took care of the virtuoso early on and tailored his very personal guitar to his body. "Anywhere in the world, I can walk into a music shop, take a JEM off the wall, and it's my voice," says the master. That's all the words needed to outline the JEM's decade-long success.
The version presented at Namm 2019 is therefore not a new invention. With a clever choice of wood, the designers circumvented the strict Cites requirements at the time, which have since been relaxed again for musical instruments. Up to now, ebony fingerboards were reserved for more expensive models because rosewood was simply cheaper. This has changed. The alder body retains the shape of RG models, without forgetting the typical Vai "monkey grip". DiMarzio pickups and the indestructible Edge tremolo make the current JEM a professional working instrument that almost deserves the term "classic".
