FEATURES
One of JEM's most recognizable features: Steve Vai's signature monkey grip. Crank your amp up, grab that baby and hold on for dear life.

Ultimate in smooth and fast: the JEM Maple/Walnut Prestige neck.

The neck features the gorgeous "Tree of Life" inlay throughout.

The groundbreaking Lion's Claw tremolo cavity allows pitches to be radically raised or lowered without obstruction.
EDGE TREMOLO
Acclaimed Edge tremolo features knife-edge-like pivot surfaces for virtually friction free operation. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability
FEATURES

The low-profile design of the Edge tremolo includes fine tuners conveniently angled back to prevent right hand touches.

The Edge bridge features a stud lock in both studs for maximum tuning stability.
