1991 Vintage Ibanez JEM77-FP Floral Print Guitar W/OHSC.

Floral Print JEM from 1991 in very good original condition. The only additions to it are  an Fu -Tone 42 mm big brass block trem stopper stabilizer. The original parts are included as pictured.

The guitar shows a bit of wear to the body here and there, with a couple of very minor marks and 2 notable (small) dings on the back.

As you can see, it presents very well and looks great.

The fretboard is superb, the frets are in great condition and it is set up to SHRED. Great playing guitar, excellent neck on this beauty.

Comes as pictured with what I believe is the original Ibanez case, at least it is the correct time period. Paperwork as shown.

Info:

The Ibanez JEM 77FP is a solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1988. It is a signature model produced for American guitarist Steve Vai.

The JEM77 features a special floral pattern finish which is printed on cloth and glued to the body. The edges are then painted black and a thick clear coat is applied to the entire guitar. The idea for the fabric covered body came from Vai and the floral pattern was modeled after curtains in Vai’s home.^[1]

The body of the JEM77 is basswood bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with fluorescent green vine inlays. Components include light pink DiMarzio pickups mounted in a clear pickguard with a pair of PAF Pro humbuckers flanking a custom JEM single-coil, a double locking tremolo bridge, pink top hat knobs and Gotoh tuning machines.

The JEM77 initially had the Edge tremolo. The Lo-Pro Edge replaced the Edge upon its introduction in 1991. The Edge Pro superseded the Lo-Pro in 2003.

As with the other JEM guitars the body includes a signature monkey grip handle near the upper horn and the lion’s claw cutaway behind the tremolo rout. It also has a cutaway heel neck joint to improve access to the upper frets. Additionally the four upper frets on the fingerboard are deeply scalloped.

It was available in the US only until 1999 but returned in 2003 as the 15th Anniversary JEM77FP. Outside the US it remained in production from 1988 through 2004. With its 17 years of production, it was the longest running model in the JEM line before being surpassed by the JEM7V in 2009.

Other floral pattern JEMs have followed, including the JEM77 (Blue Floral Pattern) introduced in 1990 and the JEM77 (Floral Pattern 2) in 2000.
