The JEM77 Purple Multi Color (PMC) is a JEM series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1992. It is a signature model of American guitarist Steve Vai. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.
The JEM77 PMC features a multi-color purple swirl paint job which was applied by Darren Johansen of About Time Design (ATD). It has a basswood body with a monkey grip handle and lion's claw tremolo rout bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret maple fingerboard with three color disappearing pyramid position markers. The upper four frets are scalloped. Components include DiMarzio pickups mounted in a clear pickguard with a pair of green and black humbuckers flanking a green single-coil, a Lo-Pro Edge double locking tremolo bridge, a tilt output jack and Gotoh tuning machines.
The JEM77 GMC is a similar model with a green swirl and a rosewood fingerboard with green vine inlays.
The JEM77 PMC was offered only in 1992. Just 271 examples were produced.
