Model description
From the very first touch, the Ibanez JEM JR BLACK feels like it was made just for you. The mahogany body resonates with fullness and clarity, laying down a strong foundation for your sound. The maple Wizard III neck glides under your fingers, encouraging both lightning-fast improvisation and delicate melodic phrasing with equal ease.
Equipped with three Infinity pickups — two humbuckers and a single coil — this guitar brings a wide-ranging tonal palette. From fat, driven distortion to sparkling clean chords, it adapts effortlessly. This versatile pickup setup is equally at home in rock and metal as in funk or even jazz-inspired arrangements.
The Standard Double Locking Tremolo system deserves a special mention, offering solid tuning stability even during heavy bends and daring dive-bombs. For its class, it holds its pitch impressively well, giving you the freedom to experiment without hesitation.
And of course, the signature “monkey grip” — more than just a quirky detail, it’s a true Ibanez hallmark. Not only does it capture the spirit of freedom and stage presence, it also makes the guitar practical to handle in performance settings.
