Art Meets Epic Rock Tone

A premium version of Steve Vai's classic Blue Floral Pattern Jem, the Ibanez JEM 77 PBFP is primed for lead playing. This axe's American basswood body gives you a distinct "out front" sound, that when combined with the euphoric high-gain tone provided by a trio of DiMarzio pickups (a pair of Gravity Storm humbuckers and an Evolution single-coil in an HSH configuration) ensures a dazzling performance every time you strap it on. Complete with an Edge-Zero II tremolo bridge and Cosmo black hardware, the Ibanez JEM 77 PBFP guitar is a great-looking, great-playing tone machine.

Ibanez JEM 77 PBFP Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Built to the performance requirements of Steve Vai
  • Epic rock tone from three DiMarzio pickups
  • Edge Zero II bridge gives you solid performance and stability
Epic rock tone from three DiMarzio pickups

As far as electronics, the JEM 77 PBFP is equipped with two DiMarzio Gravity Storm humbuckers (designed by Steve Vai) in the neck and bridge slots and an Evolution single-coil in the middle. The Gravity Storm pickups are voiced for richness and depth, with exceptionally warm mids and highs. Both will let your tone easily cut through even the densest mix while maintaining a pleasing fatness. Put this guitar through a screamin' amp, and you'll be impressed at what the JEM 77 PBFP can do.

Edge Zero II bridge gives you solid performance and stability

The JEM 77 PBFP's Edge Zero II bridge with Zero Point System was designed by Ibanez to give you the fast vibrato response and snap you need to pull off sharp bends and flutters. The extreme stability of this knife-edge-style trem's stud lock function is also one of the many reasons its a favorite among many of today's top shredders. If you're looking for a guitar that can stand up to long playing sessions without losing its tuning, you're going to adore the Ibanez JEM 77 PBFP.

Built to the performance requirements of Steve Vai

Incredible performance is the reason Steve Vai continues to play his Ibanez signature models on tour and in the studio, and the JEM 77 PBFP doesn't disappoint. The solid basswood body and JEM Premium neck give you sustain that won't quit, and a lively response for excellent note-to-note definition. The JEM 77 PBFP has the rich, warm tone needed for sultry rhythm work, and you can switch to a full-on biting midrange attack for lead work without missing a beat. It's truly musically versatile, just like Steve Vai.

Ibanez JEM 77 PBFP Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Designed in collaboration with Steve Vai for a sonically versatile guitar that performs like a pro
  • Gorgeous Tree of Life inlay on the rosewood fretboard
  • JEM Premium neck plays incredibly fast, perfect for frantic fretwork
  • Dual DiMarzio Gravity Storm humbuckers and a DiMarzio Evolution single-coil for rich, deep, wide-ranging tone
  • Built-in "Monkey Grip" handle - a mainstay on Steve Vai's guitars
The Ibanez JEM 77 PBFP is designed to keep up with the fastest, most aggressive rockers

Reviews

This guitar is a work of art!
You'll hear Ibanez elitists say if it's not MIJ it's crap... Well this guitar proves anyone who has said that dead wrong!
The maple neck is fast and smooth with no jagged fret ends, the pickups scream when driven and sing beautifully when played through a clean amp and the tremolo is stable and stays in tune!
My only wish for this guitar is that the 20th-24th frets were scalloped like Vai's JEMs but that's not really a huge deal to me!
Perfection
Absolutely satisfied with this one got a demo that had a few blemishes on the back of the body big deal the fret work is on target , lowered the action to my taste and it plays amazing.And sweetwater always delivers with haste ordered on Wednesday got it Saturday
Music background: Solo artist instrumentals
Ibenez Jem 77 bfp
Exelent guitar, notes sound fat and compressed, one of the best sounding guitars out there
Jem 77 Blue Floral
I was in my 20s when I first saw this guitar. I am in my 50s now. In that time frame, my Wife has purchased for me,a Hammett, Strauss, Satriani,and a Jem Jr. All of those guitars are great in their own way. I received this Blue Floral and I am Speechless. The guitar is around 8 lbs. Pictures do not do any justice at all. The neck is incredibly smooth and you don't feel the vine at all. The pick ups for me sound better than perfect. The edge zero 2 tremelo works great, tuning stability is no issue. The Jem 77 Blue Floral is my dream guitar. I now have my Heaven on Earth. I play 80s hair metal. I can't thank Skylar Mast,(Sweetwater),and My Wife enough !!!

Demo was amazing
So I ordered this guitar in the demo form to save a little cash and I'm so glad I did. The guitar looks brand new even had the plastic in the pick guard still. And the scratch that was in the guitar was so much smaller than pictured. Super happy with this purchase. I recommend anyone looking to save to take advantage of the demo.
