Cool! How does it differ from the Steve Vai model; no frills?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

It is the mk1 Steve Vai model :D

Just like I'm not a Satch fanboi and have owned 4 JS guitars, I've not really been a fan of Vai since Dave Lee Roth. So i'm hoping its going to satisfy my loud marshall desire. Even if its via pedals :D
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Yes ibanez, but 34”. Hoping the b is not too floppy
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

My 5 string is 34", the B wasn't great with the stock strings (only had a 105 on top) so I stuck a set of these on it and now its awesome: https://www.rockshop.co.nz/ernie-ball-2 ... 80-100-130

Actually considering taking the pickups out and putting some emg's in it so i have a neck p and bridge humbucker in it.

I really need to get a P, but cant really justify it.
