Feature:
The edge pro tremolo and locking nuts lets you divebomb and pick up note pitches like crazy...and when u lock the nuts the guitar stays in tune forever no matter how much u use ure tremolo bar.....the gold hardware is sexy...and the monkey grip i didnt like at first but it will grow on u trust me its so nice

Quality:
you will get a factory stamp it goes throught 6 places each inspects the guitar...it is very well built and very stable.....this has the strength of a stratocaster and the tone/sustain as a Les Paul.

Value:
Very good value it is worth every penny I cant stress how nice this guitar is

Desirability:
I HAVE IT the gold finish is absolutley beautifl and gold screws with the all white humbucker with gold magnets...wait till you see this guitar up close its even more beautiful than the picture...this pickguard is amazing too

Sound:
Evolution pick-ups...sustain for as long as u can take it and has a unique power sound. Harmonics are out of this world and its pickups are very sensitive and you can add your own sound basically to the guitar..SOUND IS AMAZING!

Ease of Use:
The neck action on this guitar is amazing the neck is a 5 peace maple prestige JEM....its so smooth and skinny and you can get such good neck string action ( strings real close to the neck ) without the choking tone and your fingers can fly up and down the neck with no problem I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD PLAY THIS FAST! this guitar just shreds

Support:
I need no support with this guitar it is just incredable

Overall:
I have a Gibson Les Paul Supreme...Gibson SG Special...Fender Strat...and a Gibson Les Paul Studio.... THE IBANEZ JEM7V HAS BETTER NECK ACTION,SUSTAIN,AND SOUND/PLAYABILITY THAN ANY OF MY OTHER GUITARS

Feature:
Simple yet diverse

Quality:
Its Japaniese, pwning American made guitars

Value:
You see a big price at first but no other guitar can compare

Sound:
Its A Jem, Les Paul's don't even compare

Support:
Never contacted IBZ myself but i asked questions to dealers and responded to me within 12 hours so great.

Overall:
Its simply 10 not because I own it but because I played many of guitars and none really compare or show results like the jem

Feature:
this guitar has so many great features that the second I saw it, i wanted it. the floyd rose, slim, unfinished neck, 2 humbuckers and one single coil and of course designed by the legend himself: Mr. Steve Vai!

Quality:
what can I say, its and ibanez. Ive had it for almost 2 years and it still works as if it were brand new!

Value:
2200 bucks may seem like a lot, but for what you're getting in this guitar, it should be way, way , way more!!!!

Desirability:
ive seen hundreds of guitars and none of them come close to the masterpiece. Ibanez and Steve Vai sure know how to design and manufacture one stunning guitar!!

Sound:
this is an absolutely amazing sounding guitar- 2hum. and 1 single provide an infinite posibility of sounds. UNBELIEVABLE!

Ease of Use:
Its a guitar with two knobs and a selector switch and the playability and feel is quite literally like nothing else, there's absolutely nothing like it in the world.

Support:
havent have to deal with them and im sure i never will!

Overall:
There is absolutely no other guitar like it on planet earth. Im telling you, if youre a serious player, droup the dough on one of these, its better than even a custom shop gibson, trust me! I dont plan on buying another guitar anytime soon. but i am saving up for and EVH 5150 3-its better than a marshall-unbelievable. anyway the jem is a one of a kind.

Feature:
Too bad it didn't come with a case. The guitar itself comes with volume and tone, plus the 5 switch selector, which is good

Quality:
The JEM is sturdy and it gives me the impression that I can thrash it all I want and it will stick around. It seems strong and well made, however, the gold might begin to rub off just like it did on a les paul custom I have.

Value:
For the price, compared to PRS guitars, this guitar blows them out of the water. I got a good deal too.

Desirability:
Very sexy in white. It makes a statement, even a fashion statement. It is just plain sexy and sleek. If this guitar was a girl, it would be a sexy, slim, and "hot" mama.

Sound:
The sound on this guitar can be summed up in one word: responsive! As soon as you put your fingers to it, it wants to respond so quickly.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
The gold material and the living tree created on the neck is what amazes me the most. These features make the guitar like nothing else out there. Also the tuners are amazing. That guitar seems to never go out of tune. The features are the best Iv'e seen on any other guitar.

Quality:
Everything that this guitar is made of is made from the best material out there. Steve vai wouldn't settle for anything less.

Value:
The jem is well worth the money that it cost. If your thinking about too much money you have no idea how good this guitar is.

Desirability:
This is the best looking guitar i have ever seen. Think about what it looks like on the internet and then think 10 times better than that and thats what it looks like in real life.

Sound:
The sound is amazing! Those dimarzio evolution pickups are incredible. I have never heard such a powerful crunch in each note that you play. If your looking for a huge boost nothing compares to the jem.

Ease of Use:
It's easy because it already comes with a great sound without changing anything on it.

Support:
I like the warranty about fixing it within a year but i have to say ibanez doesn't have the nicest people working there.

Overall:
I don't think I will ever want anything else until i have a chance to make my own guitar. Theres just nothing out like it.

Feature:
I have to say locking nuts and tremolo system. Once you lock down these babies, you never have to tune again!!! Strings just stay on the exact pitch. After all the tremolo bar abuses, tune stays on the spot. Simply the BEST!!!

Quality:
Perfect beauty. I smile at it at least 10 times a day watching it on the stand.

Value:
Well, used Jem sells at close price to a new one.... case closed.

Desirability:
Jem is an absolute beauty... simply think about vine inlay on the neck... it's a piece of art.

Sound:
Hands down Jem has the best sounding pick ups. EVO is jus great. The expression that sounds jumping out of amp is meant for Jem. When you do picking harmonics it just makes your heart jump out of your rib cage.

Support:
I am sure Ibanez will do jus fine

Overall:
It's coooool to look at. It sounds amazing. And this has great tremolo bar system...

Feature:
the guitar had enough accessories to fullfill my needs.

Quality:
The guitar was made real well. It is very durrable and its looks such as the vine down the neck, are very nice too.

Value:
well it could of been a little less considering its just an instrument, but if i had the money I would buy this guitar in a heartbeat.

Desirability:
yea this guitar caught my eye when i saw steve vai playing it on video. The style of it is very appealing and the nice vine down the neck is the thing that i thought made this guitar a genius design.

Sound:
the sound is close to perfection. It is loud for harder songs, and is great for solo's.

Overall:
i will forever be satisfied with this product. The only thing that is not so great is the price. It is a little to high I think for the average person too afford, but otherwise i think this is the best guitar out there.
