Ibanez JEM77-FP Floral Pattern – Steve Vai Signature – Vintage Collector’s Guitar

A rare and iconic Steve Vai signature guitar with its unmistakable Floral Pattern finish. A true statement piece for collectors and players alike.

The Ibanez JEM77-FP is one of the most recognisable guitars ever produced. Designed in collaboration with Steve Vai, its extraordinary floral finish, distinctive JEM styling and legendary playability have made it a highly sought-after instrument among Ibanez enthusiasts and collectors.

This example combines the unmistakable looks of the original Floral Pattern with an important practical upgrade to its tremolo system.

Condition and setup
The guitar is in very good condition and has been professionally checked and fully set up by Jacky Claes Music in Genk, Belgium. It is ready to play and enjoy.

Upgraded tremolo system – original unit included
The original tremolo developed the characteristic play or mechanical looseness associated with ageing vintage units. Rather than compromising on playability, I had it professionally replaced with a Red Bishop tremolo, an upgraded system developed by Red Bishop, whose founder, Shinichi Ubukata, is known for his involvement in the design of Ibanez Edge tremolo systems.
The result is a modern performance upgrade that retains the spirit of this iconic instrument.

Importantly, the original tremolo is included in the sale, together with the replacement unit. This gives the new owner the option of keeping the original hardware as a spare or for future restoration purposes.

A collector’s piece that is meant to be played

The JEM77-FP is much more than a guitar with an unusual finish. It represents a distinctive chapter in the history of Ibanez and Steve Vai, combining bold design with the performance-oriented features that made the JEM series legendary.

This example offers the best of both worlds: the character and collectability of a vintage Floral Pattern JEM, with an upgraded tremolo for the player who wants to put it to use.

Asking price: €5,000

The guitar is offered without a case. Serious enquiries from collectors and players are welcome.
