The Ibanez JEM555 was introduced in 1994 as a more affordable version of the JEM - the JEM555s usually have "JEM Jr." on the headstock. The JEM555 was initially made in Korea (instead of Japan) and then in Indonesia from 2008 onwards. The hardware and parts used on JEM555s are somtimes lower quality than those used on Japanese JEMs. For example they tend to have whatever tremolo is used on non-Japanese made RG models of their production year (so the early ones had Lo-TRS II bridges). The pickups used on this model, however, are DiMarzio Evolutions - like the Japanese JEMs.

IBANEZ made the JEM77 BFP (Blue Floral Pattern) between 1991 and 1996. The Ibanez JEM77 BFP (Blue Floral Pattern) was part of the Steve Vai signature JEM series and was notable for its blue floral pattern covered body and blue vine fingerboard inlay. While the original floral pattern JEM (the JEM77 FP model) was covered in floral fabric before being clear coated, the JEM77 BFP had a paper printed pattern glued to the body and headstock before clear coating. The JEM77 BFP had two DiMarzio PAF Pro humbuckers and a DiMarzio single coil. The bridge was a Lo Pro Edge tremolo.

Production of the JEM77 GMC (GREEN MULTI-COLOR) began in 1992 and ended in 1994

IBANEZ produced the JEM77 PMC (Purple Multi-Color) between 1991 and 1992

Manufacture of the JEM777 V began in 1994

Manufacture of the JEM777B began in 2005

IBANEZ made the JEM777DY between 1987 and 1996: this was the second longest production run of any JEM (the JEM777DY was second only to the FP floral pattern JEM). The JEM777DY has a striking color scheme with Desert Sun Yellow finish, contrasting pink pickups, green controls and green/yellow/pink disappearing pyramid inlays,  The body is basswood. The bridge was an Ibanez Edge (from 1987 to 1990) and then a Lo-Pro Edge (from 1991-1996).

IBANEZ introduced the JEM77 FP (Floral Pattern) in 1988. It was available in the USA until 1999 (and again in 2003 as the 15th anniversary JEM77FP), but it was in production in Japan from 1988 until 2004. The JEM77FP was the first floral JEM - others included the JEM77 BFP and the JEM77 FP2.

In 2011 Ibanez reissued the JEM77 BFP model as the Indonesian made Premium Series JEM77P BFP - selling for around half the price of Japanese JEMs. This new model has a different floral pattern: darker, with fewer and much larger flowers. The bridge and pickups are also a change from the original as the JEM77P BFP has an Ibanez Edge II Zero tremolo and different DiMarzio pickups: Gravity Storm humbuckers and an Evolution single-coil,

The Ibanez JEM7BSB has burnt stained blue (BSB) matte finish on the body and back of the nexk - which is prone to wear as there is no clear coat. The finish color iitself varies between individual guitars from blue to green, The upper fretboard is not scalloped on frets 21-24 like some JEM7s.

The JEM7 D was introduced in 2004

The JEM 7-V has an alder body finished in white, with a plastic mother of pearl scratchplate. The bolt on neck is made from maple and has a 24-fret ebony fingerboard. The fingerboard has a pearl/abalone tree-of-life inlays. Hardware is gold colored: an Ibanez Lo Pro Edge tremolo (Edge Pro from 2003-2010 and Edge from 2010-), humbucker/single coil/humbucker DiMarzio pickups. Controls are: 1 volume and 1 tone control, and a 5-position selector switch.
