The Ibanez JEMJR brings the legendary looks and feel of Steve Vai’s signature JEM series into a more reachable model without compromising the core performance. Featuring a fast-action Wizard III maple neck, 24 jumbo frets, and a meranti body, the JEMJR delivers outstanding playability and sustain.
Under its striking finish you’ll find Quantum pickups in an H-S-H configuration—offering searing humbucker punch, shimmering single-coil clarity, and everything in-between via 5-way switching. The double-locking tremolo system ensures tuning stability even during wild stage moves.
Whether you're pushing technical chops or exploring expressive lead work, the JEMJR combines iconic design (including the famous “monkey grip” handle) with serious feature-set in a compact package. It’s the perfect gateway into professional-level performance at a more accessible price.
