The JEM7VP is a JEM series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2019. It is a signature model of American guitarist Steve Vai. It is produced in Indonesia as part of the mid-tier Premium series.

The JEM7VP features an alder body bolted to a titanium reinforced maple and walnut neck with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl and abalone Tree of Life vine inlays. Components include DiMarzio Evolution pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil, an Edge double locking tremolo bridge, and Gotoh tuning machines.

The JEM7V is a very similar Japanese made Prestige series model which was discontinued after 2019.
