Future Breed Machine
Ibanez JEM7DBK (Steve Vai signature)
Price: £849
Specs:


* 2 DiMarzio Breed humbuckers, 1 single coil
* Ibanez JEM neck
* Chrome Hardware, Edge Pro tremolo
* Ibanez JEM body


Sound: 5/5
Guitar sounds great - the pickups are very hot, with punch and great harmonics to them. Can do anything from a bluesy sound from the single coil to great lead/rhythm tones for rock and metal. With the right amp, this thing will go right from SRV to Meshuggah.

Instrument Quality: 5/5
Very good build quality, very low action. The finish may not be for everyone, but was unblemished, and all hardware/electronics were dead on.

Playability: 5/5
Very low action, high quality trem, large frets and a fast neck combine to make the best guitar for shred/general lead that I've ever played. Near-perfect in this regard.

Overall Value: 4/5
Great guitar, but it comes at a cost. Very versatile, and practically unmatched playability (I've played Jacksons, PRS, other Ibanez, Gibson, ESP...nothing beats this.)
