Overview

An amazing 7-string signature model that's got it all!

Steve Vai has changed the way musicians think about what a guitar can really do. His signature Ibanez guitars are no different: iconic, sublime, awe-inspiring, and outrageous. The Ibanez JEM series guitars are trailblazers in a world of imitators “ there's nothing like them. These Steve Vai guitars have been proudly made in Japan since their debut in 1987

The Steve Vai Signature UV77 RE electric guitar has a contoured basswood body and features a 5-piece maple and bubinga bolt-on neck that provides easy access to all registers. This 7-string Steve Vai guitar has an outrageous finish that recreates the legendary multi-color motif of original designer Darren Johansen, the master of swirl. A 24-fret rosewood fretboard is also adorned with colorful disappearing pyramid inlays and has the high-speed JEM Prestige guitar profile that gives Steve Vai the playability he needs.

The Ibanez UV77 RE Steve Vai signature guitar unleashes scorching highs, bone-rattling lows and every bit of tone and nuance in between, with its powerful and perfectly balanced DiMarzio Blaze II humbucking and single-coil pickups. Ibanez's split-5 wiring provides incredible tonal versatility. The UV sports black chrome hardware and comes equipped with the original 7-string Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo bridge. The Ibanez Lion's Claw tremolo cavity allows pitches to be radically raised or lowered. The Steve Vai JEM guitar comes with an Ibanez flight case.
