Guitars History
This is a rare example of a now discontinued and incredible 7 string guitar. The guitar is in fantastic condition with minimal play time and complete with all accessories and original case. This has been owned by 1 careful owner and clearly well taken care of. Please take a look at the detailed guitar condition report below.Condition: Fit and Finish
Hardware is near mint, has seen almost no signs of playing and is in stunning condition with almost no wear, a very slight fade of gold colouring on the low E side of the tremolo but minimal in nature. The only blemishes are 1 small chip and 1 a tiny dink (no paint removed, almost imperceptible) in the finish appearing on the outer edge and photographed close up. Fret Life/Fretboard - Virtually unplayed example and so has almost no fret ware or playing signs
Fade - No fading present on this guitar paintwork. Its like new!
Tremolo - Small fade of gold on low E side only, no pitting present. Functions flawlessly
Neck - Original Neck Straight as an arrow with an incredible feel and grain.No cracks no wood issues. 
Electronics - The electronics scream! The original pick ups are still in place and sound absolutely incredible! Its a jem after all so expect nothing less!
Body Paint - Exceptional, stunning paintwork, still gleaming as new. The guitar has 2 small (less than 1mm) blemishes. A tiny chip and 1 dink both  absolutely tiny. Minimal and unnoticeable unless you are searching for it.An extremely rare and exceptional instrument the Jem 7V7 represents an amalgamation of two most iconic guitars pioneered by Steve Vai. The ibanez jems most endearing features and legendary playability combined with the awesome power of the UV series 7 string guitars leaving one of the most exceptional 7 string products ever produce by Ibanez! A limited 1 year run has made the 7V7 an extremely sought after instrument and entered the realm of collectable, snapped up by anyone who has ever seen or heard one in the flesh. This is the easiest, most versatile and ONLY jem inspired 7 string ever produced by Ibanez so it is no wonder its value has been rising over the years.​

“I thought that the JEM itself was beautiful, and it fit Steve’s style very well… the gold hardware, tree of life, the pearloid pickguard etc. I tried the JEM at a local Guitar Center, and loved it, but never got one, playing other models instead.However, opening the case, thinking back to first seeing the JEM, or seeing the different versions over the years (there are quite a few live-shots of me playing the JEM BSB, which was a totally awesome version of the JEM… if you can find one, check it out!), and once I started playing, it felt comfortable right away.
As I said, I had played seven-strings before, and of course, it takes a while to adjust not only to the extra string and increased range, but also to the wider neck etc.The JEM, just like the UV, makes this process rather easy, as it has a (in my opinion) very very comfortable neck-profile. Even the wider neck won’t hinder you much as it’s very thin and comfortable.The guitar was setup perfectly, and I started playing it almost exclusively for a few weeks, getting back into “Seven-string mode”. It’s a beautiful instrument with a wonderful sound and lots of variety. It’s the guitar that will be used for the orchestra-performances, and once it is time to record guitars for the next VM- or EVB-release, this one will be used a LOT.BTW: I do use the standard vibrato-bar with this one, not the all new carbon Ultralite arm… the latter is pretty cool and I can see its benefits, but I always stick to the regular one, as it feels more natural to me… after years of using double-locking trems, I have gotten VERY used to the regular bar.”Complimentary Set Up?

"Hello Rex,
The guitar arrived in perfect condition today. Although I will be in Italy for another week, I had my housekeeper Skype me here in Florence and we unboxed and inspected the guitar together. All is good. Thank you for packing the guitar so well. I appreciate it. I can't can't wait to get back home and plug her in. 
Cheers,"

"Hi Rex What can I say? 
What an amazing guitar. I can't believe the condition its in after all these years. I sold mine many years ago to fund a Jem DNA and this is in even better nick than that one. Thank you for making the purchase effortless”Review 3
"I had been searching the internet for a decent used Jem for a while but was reluctant to purchase such an expensive guitar without seeing and playing it. The same with getting stuff off ebay without playing/seeing it….risky business!
I then came across  and found a gorgeous V70 in sea foam green. The site is great…..loads of info and some of the best photos of used guitars I’ve ever seen…….proper Jem pornography! The photos and write up for the V70 were fabulous and it was obvious that this seller loves his Jems!
Although I had been looking for a 7VWH I was really taken with the colour of this model. I checked out the specs on the Ibanez site and was a little worried to discover this model is made in Indonesia and not Japan so I contacted Rex from  and we discussed the guitar at length……his knowledge of the Jem models was superb and being a great guitarist himself he understands how they feel and play. He assured me that the V70 was a cracking guitar and the quality from Indonesia was great……especially at the price. 
I ordered it on a Wednesday evening and it was delivered Friday with Rex given me updates throughout its journey!I can tell you now …… this V70 model is awesome. The pickups are smoking hot and the Edge trem is bloody insane! I don’t care that this thing was made in Indonesia it looks and plays amazing! It is also one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen…..the sea foam green with the tree of life inlay has to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated.
The description given on  was also spot on……it said immaculate and that is exactly what it was. You couldn’t tell it wasn’t new.
I’m still looking for a 7VWH and won’t be getting it anywhere else but !
Thanks to Rex for your help and advice……..I couldn’t be happier……unless you could make my fingers quicker too!"
Nick.
