Dream guitar (pt.2) - Ibanez Jem 77BFP

The "blue floral pattern" guitar from Steve Vai. Ooops... another signature guitar. I promise number 3 is not going to be like this. It's a unique instrument, not made for anyone in particular.



I have to say I'm very sorry I still don't have a guitar like this. Again, the Ibanez Jem 77BFP is an extremely rare guitar. These were only produced from 1991~1994 and they play, look and sound fantastic. The neck tends to get a little dirty as it's got a light colour.

The sound is "just Vai".
Easy to say, if you know how to play.
I'm learning... I'll get there !!!

If you find one in good conditions under the $2000 mark, do let me know... or better, get it for yourself as it's definately worth the money.
