Ibanez Jem 77 Prototype
Prototype, Serial #883372

A one-off Jem with specific woods chosen for the neck and body, this guitar has a unique looking green finish with a light sunburst. The effect is achieved much like the Jem77FP - patterned fabric has been bonded to the body and then painted over green on the edges, and then fully clear coated achieving a sunburst effect.

It has a very flat fretboard and is a surprisingly heavy guitar. The middle and humbucker pickup cavities are packed with tissue - a technique Steve uses on a number of his guitars to cut down on noise from the body hardware and spring cavity. The guitar also features a trem-setter. The guitar is in excellent condition save for a number of dings below the lions claw cavity.

This guitar is now owned by Anthony Cappiello-Guy and Wey Yuan Guy.
