Control cavity is 39.75mm deep with 3 mm cavity plate Neck mounting style is all access 13.25mm Grommets, Each set to same depth as 2000 version body. So the depth for each grommet is as follows 3mm, 3mm, 5mm, 6mm (this is standard IBZ Depths). Just like any other Ibanez Jem, does this jem7bsb have those Lions claw under the bridge. VWH Fretboard 2004 change to Rosewood - Ibanez unexpectantly, abruptly and without notice changed the VWH fretboard from ebony to rosewood in 2004 after NAMM. From the geniuses at Ibanez of Japan (paraphrased): Vai's EVO has rosewood fingerboard from the beginning. JEM7VWH is the signature model, so we changed it for matching his own JEM.
Ibanez Cavity Depth Definition
The DiMarzio Air Norton, True Velvet and Tone Zone pickups offer depth, warmth and rich dynamics when combined with the 5-way pickup switch. This model adopts Belden wiring material and copper shielding inside its control cavity, so noiseless sound can be expected. When Ibanez later fitted the S with a lever-style pickup selector starting in 1988, the extremely thin profile of the guitar mandated the use of a plastic bezel to accommodate the depth of the switch. Fixed bridge and top-mounted controls which eliminated the need for a rear control cavity followed in 1997.
