Developed with Steve Vai in 1987, it introduced the monkey grip handle, the scooped lion's claw tremolo cavity, and a 24-fret vine-inlaid neck — features that were unprecedented at the time and remain instantly recognizable four decades later. The JEM77 in Blue Floral Pattern revives one of the original and most sought-after finishes in the line's history.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eThe Floral Pattern\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eThe Floral Pattern JEM is among the most recognizable electric guitars ever produced — a full-body printed pattern that was, and remains, entirely unlike anything else on a music store wall. The blue colorway has a particular following among collectors and players who came to the instrument through Vai's late-'80s and early-'90s work.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eDesign and Playability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eThe basswood body keeps the weight manageable and delivers a warm, midrange-forward voice that suits sustained lead playing. The maple and walnut neck with maple fretboard is built around speed — thin, flat, and fast across all 24 frets, with the deep cutaway that gives genuine access to the top of the range rather than nominal access. The HSH pickup layout — single-coil between two humbuckers — was chosen for range: clear, glassy cleans through the middle position, full humbucker output for lead and rhythm work at the ends.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eThe Monkey Grip and Lion's Claw\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eThe monkey grip handle cut through the upper body is the JEM's signature visual element and a genuinely functional one for handling the instrument on stage. The lion's claw tremolo cavity is scooped out behind the bridge to allow the tremolo to be pulled up sharply as well as dived — a range of motion that standard routing does not permit and that is essential to Vai's vocabulary.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; max-width: 620px; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eIbanez Signature — Steve Vai JEM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eStrings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eBody\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eBasswood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eNeck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eMaple\/Walnut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eFretboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eMaple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eFrets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003ePickups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e2 Humbuckers + 1 Single-coil (HSH)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eMonkey Grip, Lion's Claw tremolo cavity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px 8px 0; color: #666;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eBlue Floral Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eBuying From XGuitars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eEvery guitar sold through XGuitars receives a hands-on professional setup and thorough inspection.
