Supposedly an evolution of the JEM, they said. And I thought the JEMs looked hideous with those monkey grips but this is just....
I'm sure it plays better than it looks but definitley meh on the looks department.

Re: Vai's new Ibanez sig, the PIA
eh this doesn't do anything for me. there are tons and tons of awesome guitars coming out these days by smaller shops and i guess this is trying to make the gem stay relevant but it's meh

I remember trying JEMs before and I thought those are really great-playing guitars. But too many pickups, metrosexual aesthetics and a hole in the guitar is just too much. This however, looks hideous.

I like the original jems a lot but these are horrible looking.

If i was a guitar player in morbid angel. i would play these two guitars ...
I have not tried the premium reissue though.
Also those PIA guitars are fugly I do think they play great. I aboslutely love JEMs.

The new onyx-black Pia is very nice, but I still think the green one is <3
