Ibanez JEMJR JEM JUNIOR – Steve Vai Signature Electric Guitar
Pro-SCM Setup
A few years ago a new guitar look appeared.
When Steve Vai teamed up with Ibanez in 1987, little did he realise what a lasting impact his signature model guitar would have. Today, The iconic JEM has, for so many simply been out of reach – until now.
Steve Vai had always wanted the JEM to be accessible to a broader fan base and together with Ibanez this has now resulted in the JEMJR. A more affordable ticket to the magic that is the JEM, the JEMJR has been built to play.
The JEMJR features a mahogany body and the legendary Ibanez Wizard III neck. Many of the JEMs distinguishing characteristics are here, the H/S/H pickup configuration, the Tree of Life inlays, the double locking tremolo system and the famous Monkey grip and Lion’s Claw tremolo cavity.
Our Pro-SCM setup
This Ibanez JEMJR electric guitar offers great incredible bang-for-your-buck value – especially for a signature model.
Its a well known fact that Ibanez make great guitars. Timber is used for the most part for the construction of these fine instruments.
Timber comes from trees and with the changes in weather conditions, humidity etc, these timbers often try to be trees again.
Necks can move, fretboards can shrink ever-so-slightly exposing sharp fret ends etc.
It is also impossible at the factory level to second guess the exact requirements of how a player likes their instrument to be setup, so they are setup within a defined tolerance.
We setup a lot of instruments.
This instrument for example will be setup for you before it leaves our shop. We will discuss your preferences and work towards providing that. If you are a beginner we will guide you and ensure that this instrument is as easy to play as it possibly can be.
Our Pro-SCM setup includes:
• Check that the action meets factory or your specifications
• Check and rectify any buzzing, intonation or playability issues
• Check and adjust the nut and bridge string heights
• Hand roll the fret ends to debur the sharp edges and polish the frets
• Test electronics, pots and switches for correct function
• Inspect instrument construction and condition of the strings
• Tune to pitch
As a paid service this setup can easily cost $250 or more – it’s included in our price…now, that’s real value!
