My uncle has the full black JEMJR that was made in Indonesia few years ago. It has doesn't have the Tree of Life inlay, rather it uses the simple dot inlay. The fretboard is still Jatoba, monkey grip is there, quantum pickups, etc. But yeah, it is full black and it has bronze logo, not white.

When will Ibanez make a Jem Jr version of the Pia? I have the Jem 7V in White and the Jem Jr in Pink, i won't be buying a black one. Black guitars are a magnet for greasy fingerprints. Also please go back to Roswood fretboards, the Jatoba ones look terrible.

I agree on Jatoba looking bad, but until recently there was a ban/restriction on rosewood, so, many companies migrated to Jatoba for the low-end guitars. But usually if you pay at least $900 or so you get rosewood due to the higher price range.

@@Coles-bootleg-vids My $500 Sire lary Carlton has a Rosewood fretboard, the larger companies bought large stocks of the alternatives and it will take a few years if ever for them to bring back Rosewood to mid priced models.
