Ibanez JEMJRL-WH Steve Vai JEM JR LH, White

General

Many guitarists are probably already familiar with Steve Vai's Ibanez JEM electric guitar model. It may come in a range of different colours, but they all have the iconic handle in common. The Monkey Grip doesn't just look cool, it's a practical way to carry your instrument easily. Too often, left-handed guitarists are left looking longingly at the magnificent models right-handed players are playing. Now, however, they too can get their hands on an Ibanez JEM in the form of the left-handed JEMJRL-WH complete with the special tree of life inlay.

Ibanez JEMJRL-WH: fast and versatile

A body made of mahogany gives this model its solid sound, and a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard adds brightness and warmth. The fast Wizard III neck is relatively thin and the fretboard is relatively flat, so that each of the 24 jumbo frets is easily accessible. The Ibanez Double Locking tremolo bridge lets you go crazy with vibrato and divebomb effects without affecting the tuning. Everything you play will be picked up accurately by the two Quantum humbuckers and the Quantum single-coil pickup in the middle position. The Ibanez JEMJRL-WH is a true Steve Vai guitar that left-handed guitarists will love.

• Please note: this guitar is for left-handed players.
