I could spend the whole day hearing Steve, either talking or playing, such a genuine guy

Steve said, "Tight bottom is good." So very true.

Larry Dimarzio, please never stop making these type of videos. I love watching them. Would love to see some more "up-close" playing footage from Bumblefoot or Richie Kotzen. Keep making quality pickups & videos Larry, you're one the Kings. God Bless! ~ Hunter

CHEA :D good to see you here, the legend himself!

My brother made an electric guitar in the 1990's by hand. It was 24 fret and had DiMarzio pickups and a Floyd Rose bridge. My brother was an amazing guy and could make alll sorts, R.I.P. Nigel.

So satisfying to hear/see a master like this just casually playing guitar.

'tight bottom is just... good.' - Steve Vai 2016. Words to live by.

Man Vai is an angel what a wonderfull person i hope i can meet him one day in person.

It's normal i drop my jaw each time i see steve vai play guitar on any video?

I have a woody jem, and Its one of the most unique guitars ive ever played. So many different sounds, but all of them quite special. Very spacey, 80s vibes.

I love you Mister Dimarzio. I own around 2 dozen guitars and almost everyone is outfitted with Dimarzios. I just wish that you would make a more powerful neck pickup. I've been using Tone Zone's in the neck forward facing like in the bridge. If you could build them like that with a little bass rolled off it would be perfect!

I'm just glad he still has the skill he did in the 80s and 90s. and that he still brings out new products that are special

Got the honour of seeing this crazy bastard live a few weeks ago... Jesus Christ what an artist. It's not the pickups but when he pulled this guitar out on "Answers" they just wailed. Wow. Dimarzio strikes again.

Yes, tight bottom is very good Steve!

I know he is more known as a rock/metal shred guitarist, but I think we should give some credit to those outstandingly beautiful cleans! Class act!

Great pickups Master Vai! It was amazing to see you and your great band in Charleston South Carolina for the Passion and Warfare show! Can't wait for the next

You heard it here folks " tight bottom is JUST GOOD", words of a wise and awesome individual.

Sweet upper middle emphasis, no overly clanky or harsh highs, and a very smooth not overly boomy low.. nice round tone..

No Words my friend, Just Awesome Thank you.

So awesome! What a combination... Steve Vai and DiMarzio! The new pickups look and sound fantastic.

That neck pickup sounds amazing

That brown tone, my favorite Windows 98 theme...

Love the sound of those new Dark Matters and such a cool looking guitar!!

Beautiful guitar, perfect performance. You are simply the best, Steve

Vai is wonderful. These pickups sound great, too.

Wow, has it been that long now? 25 (27) years? First time I heard Vai, couldn't believe someone could make a guitar sound like that. What incredible talent and passion.

Was surprised how nice the cleans sound. Passion and Warfare came out the year I graduated high school. Who knew I'd start playing guitar on the 25th anniversary. Wish I would have started back then. Thanks Steve for all your inspiration.

that bridge pickup is so amazing.. its sounds perfect

I love Steve’s guitar playing, amazing talent he has

the greatest guitarist ever. listening to your playing is like listening to an alien symphony full of color and emotion.

This is the coolest JEM I have seen yet. I just like woody guitars, I have an Ibanez S series with a burled Ash top. Wood grain just has that beauty that you don't really have with a paint job

Steve, thanks for being such a cool guy! Truly inspiring guitar player and down to earth guy.

I could watch Vai play all day

"Tight bottom is just good" he knows what he did XD

this man is a really good player man... i am impressed every time,

His string action is close to the fret board I bet if you blow on the stings notes will come about !! I've always loved Steve's style and sound .. I'll never ever get board listening to him play or even noodle about .. Compelling and rich !!!

Oh my goodness, that is such a beautiful guitar. Wish that was in my collection.

Sounds great. Vai is such an original player. I can listen to him all day long.

It's the new custom JEM Woody!!!! That scratch guard and matching headstock were a brilliant idea by the talented luthier Tak Hosono at Ibanez. I love it!

Mr. Vai you are the man, modern primitive is refreshing. I'll always remember the show I went to with my Dad back in 08 I think it was, at the Cleveland House of Blues. Eric Sardinas was one hell of an opening act as well.

An 'old soul'. Very special music, I don't believe we'll hear better in our lifetimes. Steve.

Vai just gets better with age. Incredible.

For me... Vai's sound and note is Majestic.

I will say that's the most gorgeous gem model I have ever seen.

This guitar is beautiful as far as color composition and some other details are concerned, very beautiful.

"The BEST PLAYERS play the BEST PICKUPS" Nothing beats the combination of Ibanez guitars and Dimarzio pickups. Mr. Dimarzio you rock!
