Guitars History
This is a European model and is part of a run of only 642 pieces made in 1996 as part of Ibanez celebration of a 10th Anniversary in the production of the Ibanez jem, and they really pulled out all the stops with regards to material choice and production quality. This is the pinnacle of Ibanez Jem and a highly sought after collectors piece. Owned previously by a careful owner in Italy, it has only seen some very light use and has been lovingly appreciated and looked after all of its life.
Condition: Fit and Finish
9/10 - I have uploaded 30HD pictures for you to enjoy. I certainly enjoyed photographing it! This is a very lightly used Ibanez Jem 10th Anniversary in fantastic condition. If you have any questions regarding the condition just let me know
Fret Life/Fretboard - This guitar has had very light use. Therefore there is almost no signs of fret-ware on this instrument.
Tremolo - Still with a fantastic finish, no blemishing and no pitting on the tremolo unit. It shines brilliantly and really sparkles in the sunlight
Neck - Original Neck Straight as an arrow with an incredible feel and grain. No cracks or wood problems. The Pearl inlays run beautifully through the entire fretboard
Electronics - As you would expect in a near mint instrument there are no issues with electronics. Sounds like a dream and is a true awesome sound! The chrome has worn very lightly from the edges of the single coil and hum-buckers, a very common occurrence in the Jem 10th and occurs on all models when played only very lightly. One trick (if you decide to own one) is to use some cling film over the pickups to protect them from future damage :)
Body work- No dings, dents or bruising. Some light pick scratches on the bodywork and 2 exceptionally small (less than 1mm) scratchs that penetrated the clear coat, so small they barely show on the photographs but appear on the front body where the forearm would rest. No other real signs that this has been played. The body has been signed by Steve Vai in silver marker and can easily be removed if requested or sold as is depending on the buyers requirements.
Case - This guitar comes with non original jem case in stunning condition with 2 spare keys. Only a few signs of ware from storage, minimal marking. Other case candy is included in the sale and includes the tools, manual, pictures of the signing and an Ibanez guitar strap
Certificate Of Authenticity - Not a mark on the certificate, stunning condition and kept in a cellophane pouch completing the perfect package
Please take a look at the Store Website for more high quality images from all angles!
If the asking price is achieved you will get a complete and customary set up by myself. I will put this guitar through my set up process which is quite a lengthy procedure, a summary of the process is below.
Shipping
I take shipping guitar very seriously and make sure it is bomb proof and all international shipping quotes come with £1000 worth of insurance for damage in transit. All are tracked and you will be issued a tracking number as soon as payment has been received and delivery arranged
Your guitar will go through the following process regardless of international or domestic shipping. I am happy to ship to anywhere in the world and have experience shipping to most international destinations.
All guitars are wrapped to the highest standard, inside the case the guitar will be bubble wrapped and any accessories individually packaged inside the case. Nothing loose will be left in the case. The guitar is then wrapped a total of 3 times in bubble wrap before a strong brown paper incases the the whole guitar.

Every guitar we sell comes with the best customer experience and service I can provide. I know what its like to buy these guitars, what concerns go through peoples minds and how special they are. I keep everyone who buys a guitar up to date at all stages. Below are a select few of the recent reviews left by some new Jem owners and their experience on Sell My Jem. I’d also invite you to the TESTIMONIALS PAGE on the website if you haven't already taken a look.
Review 1
"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 sellmyjem.com 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 sellmyjem.com 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 sellmyjem.com 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 sellmyjem.com!
Thanks to Rex for your help and advice……..I couldn’t be happier……unless you could make my fingers quicker too!"

IBANEZ JEM 10TH ANNIVERSARY IINFORMATION
The Ibanez JEM10TH is a JEM series guitar model and signature model of American guitarist Steve Vai. It was released in 1996 to commemorate the 10th year anniversary of the Ibanez JEM series. Special features are the engraved aluminum pickguard and headstock overlay and pearloid and abalone binding and inlays. All JEM10TH models have a unique serial number engraved in the pickguard. It is claimed that only 852 were made, although higher serial numbers do exist.
Other features include typical JEM features such as a basswood body, DiMarzio Evolution pickups and a Lo Pro Edge tremolo.
The Jem 10th model was created for JEM's tenth anniversary in 1997, although production started in 1996. "This sub-model of Anniversary JEM includes numbered letter of authenticity hand-signed by Steve Vai. The aluminium pickguard has an engraved vine and its JEM10 serial number. JEM10s designated for the USA have a silver tweed JEM case with outside plaque and inner silk screened protective shroud. Later numbered JEM10s going to the USA have their JEM10 plaque screwed onto the case, instead of riveted/glued on." There are 852 JEM10 guitars around the globe (210 of them are in the United States), and each guitar has its own serial number. #1 is at Hoshino USA, #2 is at Roland (Roland/Meinl) in Germany. #3, #5, #7, and #9 went for sale in the US and JEM10 #16 was given away by Steve during G3.
