My god he's so incredible!

Steve Vai has changed the way musicians think about what a guitar can really do. His signature Ibanez guitars are no different: iconic, sublime, awe-inspiring, and outrageous. The Ibanez JEM Series models are trailblazers in a world of imitators – there's nothing like them. They have been proudly made in Japan since their debut in 1987The Steve Vai Signature UV77 RE Electric Guitar has a contoured basswood body and features a 5-piece maple and bubinga bolt-on neck that provides easy access to all registers. This 7-string has an outrageous finish that recreates the legendary multi-color motif of original designer Darren Johansen, the master of swirl. A 24-fret rosewood fretboard is also adorned with colorful disappearing pyramid inlays and has the high-speed JEM Prestige profile that gives Steve Vai the playability he needs.The UV77 RE unleashes scorching highs, bone-rattling lows and every bit of tone and nuance in between, with its powerful and perfectly balanced DiMarzio Blaze II humbucking and single-coil pickups. Ibanez's split-5 wiring provides incredible tonal versatility. The UV sports black chrome hardware and comes equipped with the original 7-string Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo bridge. The Ibanez Lion's Claw tremolo cavity allows pitches to be radically raised or lowered. Ibanez UV77 RE Steve Vai Signature Electric Guitar Features:

ESP LTD Deluxe MH-1000

Electric Guitars Rock

The ESP LTD Deluxe MH-1000 electric guitar features a set-thru 3-piece maple neck, mahogany body with gorgeous carved maple top, and a rosewood fretboard. The thin, U-shaped neck with 24 extra jumbo frets provides comfort and speed. An EMG-81 humbucker at the bridge and an 85 at the neck provide plenty of power and note definition. Grover tuners and an FR locking nut keep you tuned and intoned, so you'll sound your best. Volume, tone and a 3-way toggle give you options with simplicity. Genuine Floyd Rose bridge let you dive bomb the night away. Black hardware, offset abalone block inlays and white with abalone purfling finish off a great look.Set-thru neck construction is an innovative technique in which the neck is glued to the body (like a set neck), however the traditional bulky heel is carved away (similar to neck-thru-body construction). This makes access to the ESP MH-1000's upper frets and the neck-to-body transition much smoother. Just as on a set neck, you will get a combination of tone from both the neck and body with the set-thru construction. The sound will depend on the types of wood used, but generally will have a fuller, warmer tone when compared to most neck-thru-body electric guitars.
