actually the wood is different - 7v has an alder body but 555 is basswood and there are other difference setting them apart. for that however, the 7v costs more than double the 555
if you look at the features of the 555 and the 7v doesn't change so much. Pick up are the same, the wood also. Only the bidge it's different, and obviously the ornament..
oh, plus i think the price for the "real" jem is way too high. if i order a guitar, custom handmade for me at a guitar builder, it costs me just as much as jem7, and the jems come from the same machine driven factories in japan as all the other signature/prestige ibanez guitars...
i simply like my RG prestige better than any jem (the 555s oder the 7s). played both of them at my local music store (awesome store btw, the cheapest guitar i found there was about 800€) and i didn'T really like the necks, the sound was almost equal to another good ibanez with evolutions. the only thing i miss on every other guitar is scalloped frets at the high positions :( if my guitar had this, i'd be the best one could ever have :D
two resons. ibanez built HIS guitar more in the way he wanted. and they make different guitars. but if you want to make a comparison with squier and jem555s, the compare squiers to real fenders like the 555 to a "real" jem 7...
just like an expensive squier/mex is 90% equal to a real fender. same with epiphone/gibson, ltd/esp. anyway, my comment was an answer to someone, who asked why vai doesn't play fender (i think). i actually like neither one of the jems. i don't sound like vai, so i don't wanna look like him, and i like the wizard necks better than the jem necks. AND a good RG/S costs half the price of a jem.
well the new post 2003 jem555 dont have the crappy lotrs2 anymore. they spot the edge pro 2 or more recently edge 3. personally i wish they had stuck with the edge pro 2.
the main diff between the 555 and the 7 is that the 555 doesnt have the scalloped frets from the 21 to 24th, and of course humbucker?pickups and what not still a hell of a guitar
the 2007 555 JEM´s are not so good realy, but the 90´s ones got original D´marzio EVOLUTION pics, best Bridge etc... So if u gonna by a 555 it must be an old one, or by the real ones like you sayd: once you go JEM, you never go back...Chears bro...
A great video for a great guitar.Not fake at all, , I wish you could do other vid with the black model, like mine, ( check my 2 vids xperimetal ), your video inspired me pretty much, thanks for posting, AWESOME!!!

you make a good point. In terms of sound quality and playability there is little difference.

7v - more or less 1700€
555 - more or less 1000€
I have played both..
and I can say that difference are specially on the ornament..
