Difficult reading[edit]

This page is written terribly. It is also very difficult to follow. for example: "Originally, Steve had not gotten the guitars, so the thought was, "What is the point to sell 'Steve's guitar' if Steve does not play the guitar?"

The diction couldn't be further from an encyclopedia article.

Agreed. Although, some parts are fine, there's just other parts that are difficult to read, like the sentence you pointed out. I can't even decipher what that sentence is meant to mean. If I knew, i could change it so it makes more sense. I can only guess that he/she meant to say that the guitars weren't previously given to Steve, yet it didn't make sense to sell a guitar that Steve designed but doesn't play. That's the only thing I can gather from it.

I removed the offending sentence; I also removed the irrelevant details on Eric Clapton. Also, I corrected some grammatical errors and attempted to improve some of the clumsier writing. Ideally the article (in particular the 'history' and 'design' sections) needs to be rewritten to improve the clarity, relevance and referencing. Bridies (talk) 17:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removed clean up tag[edit]

i removed the clean up tag, as i think the writing is passable now. Bridies (talk) 02:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

30 years of the Ibanez JEM: Steve Vai explains how a Legend was Born (YouTube video)[edit]

This video (youtu.be/Vtpze0qzvgY) should be whitelisted for the benefit of this page. Deepmac (talk) 18:59, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

JEM Jr[edit]

There doesn't seem to be much information on the JEM Jr, other than one reference to the JEM 333 and another to the 555. The 555 is separate to the Jr (does not have the same inlay and has ceased production) and the 333 was only available in Asian markets I believe. The current Jr is based on the 333 but essentially a new model. I'm wondering if we can expand on this? Garrettendi (talk) 10:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
