JEM505's will let you scream or moan with the Edge bridge and groundbreaking Lion's Claw tremolo cavity, allowing pitches to be radically raised or lowered without obstruction.

One of the fantastic JEM505’s most recognizable features: Steve Vai's signature Monkey Grip. Crank your amp up, grab that baby and hold on for dear life.

JEM505's Maple fingerboard offers bright tone.

Acclaimed Edge tremolo features knife-edge-like pivot surfaces for virtually friction free operation. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability.
FEATURES
  1. The low-profile design of the Edge tremolo includes fine tuners conveniently angled back to prevent right hand touches.
