This beautiful 1991 Floral JEM presents in very good condition for a 35 year old instrument. The instrument was serviced and detailed by a highly regarded local luthier prior to being traded in to DW Music. Various finish cracks have been repaired and had a clear coat reapplied. These repaired finish cracks are around the side of the guitar, with one on the treble side edge, one at the input jack and one at the bottom edge. These finish cracks are visible but smooth to the touch. There are neck pocket finish cracks on both bass and treble sides. These cracks are stable and only aesthetic. The finish of the guitar body has been buffed and have a beautiful shine. The electronics and hardware are in excellent working order. The frets of the guitar have been beautifully dressed and have heaps of life left. The guitar comes with a non original Hamer branded hard case, which looks to be from a similar era and fits the guitar very nicely. A sensational guitar!
Information from Ibanez Wiki:
The JEM77, also known as the JEM77 FP (Floral Pattern), is a JEM series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1988. It is a signature model produced for American guitarist Steve Vai.
The JEM77 features a special floral pattern finish which is printed on cloth and glued to the body. The edges are then painted black and a thick clear coat is applied to the entire guitar. The idea for the fabric covered body came from Vai and the floral pattern was modeled after curtains in Vai's home.
The body of the JEM77 is basswood bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with fluorescent green vine inlays. Components include light pink DiMarzio pickups mounted in a clear pickguard with a pair of PAF Pro humbuckers flanking a custom JEM single-coil, a double locking tremolo bridge, pink top hat knobs and Gotoh tuning machines.
The JEM77 initially had the Edge tremolo. The Lo-Pro Edge replaced the Edge upon its introduction in 1991. The Edge Pro superseded the Lo-Pro in 2003.
As with the other JEM guitars the body includes a signature monkey grip handle near the upper horn and the lion's claw cutaway behind the tremolo rout. It also has a cutaway heel neck joint to improve access to the upper frets. Additionally the four upper frets on the fingerboard are deeply scalloped.
