You always have the option of dropping in an original Floyd Rose if you intend to keep the guitar long term. I have seen much much worse at around the same price point from other manufacturers which shall remain un-named. I would say that the bridge on the JEM Jr is a mid-level bridge that for the most part hold tuning well enough. Some people have voiced their disappointment in this area but using cheaper badges and electronics is a commonly seen tactic among guitar manufacturers looking to cut costs. I was not surprised to see that Ibanez opted to go with a cheaper version to keep costs down. The bridge although decent is not nearly at the same level of quality as the original. So installation may be somewhat of a challenge without being forced to drill new holes. One can always purchase a replacement but I fear that the hole locations are not in the same location. I can't help but feel that this looks out of place on the guitar. One aspect of the guitar that irks me a little is that they decided to go with a super white pick-guard instead of the off-white pearl version on the original.
Ibanez jem jr tremolo upgrade upgrade#
Yes, they do the job, but I am certain that the guitar could benefit from a pickup upgrade if you are looking to squeeze the most out of this Ibanez.
I feel that although the stock pickups in the Jem Jr are adequate, they are nothing that I consider impressive. Honestly, I don't really use the center pickup very much but I refuse to remove it because I want to stay true to the look of the original Jem. Although players who are not used to this configuration may find themselves a little limited in picking space between pickups. The HSH configuration of the pickups gives you quite a bit of additional tonal range. The little things like the angled input jack add to the unique design it is well known for. The vine of life inlay and monkey grip handle make it quite identifiable at first glance. Slim flat neck with wife frets makes it super easy to play. I like to compare this guitar to a sports car. Don't judge me! I was looking for a guitar that didn't quite have the same sound or features as the other guitars in my collection. I will be honest and say that I don't even own one of his records. Not so much for his music as for his technique and virtuosity. I have been a big fan of Steve Vai since I was a teenager. Unless you buy the guitar from a reputable guitar store or have a really good eye you just may get scammed so buyer beware especially if you are looked for one on the used market. With many fake Jem copies flooding the market these days, it difficult to be sure you are really getting an original Ibanez made guitar. was released as a low-cost import to meet the demand of players looking for good value and reasonable price. As of 2010, there have been five sub-models of the JEM: the JEM7, JEM77, JEM777, JEM555, JEM333, and JEM70V. The guitar's most notable and co-designer is Steve Via. Ibanez JEM is the iconic electric guitar manufactured by Ibanez and first produced in 1987.
