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.
