I love how vai puts his heart into everything he does

This comment is so underrated because watching so many interviews and clinics of him from the 80s all the way to today(2020), his humble demeanor and overall heart in everything he does has never gone away.

To all the people saying "fake worn guitars are trash" and blah blah. Guys, it's a replica/collector's item.

he's right, when i was going to buy my first real guitar i had been trying a jem jr in the store for a month and i loved it, sadly it was sold the day i was going to buy it. i'm selling my ibanez Roadstar II Steve Lukather now, and i know what to buy with the money, i love the Jem series

Im not a fan of his music but the amount of dedication and heart he puts into what he does is very very admirable

@@spiraldj That's gross. Accurate. Funny. But gross.

I just recently bought my first Ibanez which was an RG550 from the year 2000, and for being 20 years old this guitar blew me way, the sound of those pickups and the beautiful maple neck, the frets are flawless for being 2 decades old, but getting my hands on that super wizard neck it's like nothing I've ever played before so so thin, how could I ever play anything else again. And it also has the easy access neck joint which threw me off when first looking at it cause I had never seen an RG550 made between 98-2002, black with a chrome pick guard absolutely stunning it inspires me every time I pick it up, it's so elegant that I find myself just starring at it from time to time.

I can personally say, Ibanez Great quality guitars I’ve had my Ibanez rg370fmz for quite some time and I can’t stop playing it dawn till dusk No one does it like Ibanez Great guitars!😊😊

love how he slaps him away from opening the case at 4:37

Ibanez should market and produce the backstop, that was such a great invention. That or, come up with a built-in system to block/unblock the Edge. The Edge is literally the best bridge on the planet, for a lot of us, but sometimes we want to be able to go fixed bridge on the same guitar...something to think about Ibanez

Want one of these so bad! Need a super strat! Love you Steve!

I freaking love his tone and sound.

guitar evolution is fascinating! The great guitarists gave their input from the very beginning . . . all the way back to the delta bluesmen and even further back to renaissance and Arabian Spain guitarists and probably further back! Great vid! Thanks all Steve Vai and 'Ibaniz'.

Humble artist ever ... More power to you mr vai... u inspired me a lot cheers...

Making guitars is my hobby and I make 5 Jem guitars for now for myself.....This is true art and lot of dedication! Awesome job!!

30 year anniversary this year. Congrats, Steve!

Phenomenal.... Ibanez is really a great company lots of variety, innovation, and quality. They really listen and seem to take pride in their associations with great players like Steve. Very impressive !!!

Absolutly awesome job on this repro! Not to mention an awesome guitarist...

Really cool to get such a detailed look at Vai's own guitar. I think that if the replicas are even half as good as the original it would be amazing. Most people would probably feel like they have the original in their hands anyhow.

Of course the EVO replicas/clones would be perfect - they're made by the legendary Team J. Craft who makes his JEM as well as the Prestige and J.Custom lines :) They really know what they're doing. Such great craftsmanship

Hats off to those who put all that work into creating a replica of SV's guitar. They really did go down to what I call "Adam Savage" detail! 8o)

It would have been funny if they had put a piece of tissue into the spring box on the replica.

It did, he switched necks later on, even the 7vwh ended up with different fretboard woods. it was the first alder bodied jem as well if i recall correctly.

Fantastic company... gonna have to disagree with you though! Many many many many many many... GUITAR COMPANIES! Ibanez are fantastic man. I own a couple in my guitar collection. Not as good as Jackson... my favorite guitar company. Not as good as BC Rich guitars, Deans, Washburn. I think I like ESP... (another Japanese guitar company) a little better than Ibanez. I love the body shape. (The whole guitar shape) of Ibanez. I jam on my blacked out Kirk Hammett built tribute RG a lot. It’s probably my 4 or 5th favorite guitar company. Man, i don’t even know. I know Jackson is my favorite. The looks, feel, sounds, everything about Jackson man. Ibanez just have their Jem Steve Vai, and RG that I love. Great company. Only those guitars by them I enjoy though. Keep jamming

Yeah the jem or just what there calked jem very nice playing and sounding guitars by 1 of the best players on the planet Steve vai!

Cheers for this Steve and IbanezOfficial .

Steven is my inspiration to keep playing

Vai is by all accounts the greatest living guitarist today. He’s a stratospheric layer above his teacher Satchmo. He simply plays humanly impossible arrangements, that simply dwarf conventional thinking. However the complexity of the late Shawn Lane, is still the best to be revered. Steve has some big hands with long fingers (almost freakish), that enable him to play to the degree that he does. Zappa May have never used drugs to expand his mind, but he inspired Steve to greatness.

Good job , steve, your an amazing man , good job on working with Ibanez, I’m excited to get a gem , the new guitar for the new type of player ..it’s not all about fender or Gibson

It's easy to be a nice guy when everyone loves you...

*I* ❤ *IBANEZ*

I love Ibanez guitar. And i got one of this.😊

What an amazing birthday present! Good luck to the 100 people who will get to own one of these EVO clones!

I´ve Played both, the original and the replica...they´re so fuckin´ awesome Ibanez you are great! Love Ya!

My favorite guitar

I saw this guitar up close at a before show meet & greet. The body is cracked down the middle with a metal rod holding it together. It had a Jem Jr neck on it, he said it's had many necks on it.

Happy Birthday Steve!!!

Great job, Ibanez! If Stevo is happy then I am too👍

The Velcro back plate with tissue paper seals the deal lol. Simple but brilliant!

The coolest guitar ever

Sounds good. It's got a nice open sound.

Amazing vintage guitar.

Love the jem’s

Steves EVO has a black spring cover, the repro uses same as the pick guard material. I am surprised such a detail would be overlooked considering the level of detail that went into everything else. That being said I would love to have one of the EVO signatures to add to my collection. Also, for what its worth SV is a neat guy in person; very willing to talk with fans never had a bit of 'rock star attitude'.

Thank you. Since that isn't available, I may look into the Super-Vee Mag Lock I've been reading about.

my local guitar shop has one of these its pretty nice.

great job ! ! !

Such a nice project! Even as a huge SV fan, I'd probably never buy one, but it's still so interesting!

Such a great guy....

EVERYONE! Steve Vai's house is in Carle Place, NY! The tree Outside his window in the video is in the same picture of his wiki page saying he lives in carles place

I just wrote them a letter and they are really responsive. Interesting products. I'll be ordering a Mag-lok for my JEM immediately :-)

Deserves more views

happy birthday :-)

toca muito mesmo....ele e o cara

can u imagine one day when he's gone, how much the guitar is gonna cost ..but sorry no i cannot imagine him being gone. he's just amazing.one of a kind !

I own #7 from the original Limited Edition 777 LNG JEMs made … It's STILL a killer guitar … something very special about it Joey Lodes

Thanks that help i did lower down middle pick up

"Idiosyncrasie" - steve vai

happy birthday! and venus transit

Nice video, Thanks.

Your a one of a kind :-)

I love you steve!!!

@rogerthehat That's why they put that 'back-stop' on the spring in the back of the body so that if a string broke,it can at least help the bridge stay steady for some time... And those things are not cheap..about $75-100 a piece from what i understand Hope that helps

Steve Vai is the Man!!

He looks good

I wish Ibanez would make a replica of the for the love of God guitar , it would be awesome to have a piece of history from the Steve Vai collection I know I would want one

"Because I can" in the words of Steve Vai.

I want one.

I want one just like Evo and Flo

I like his office !

You know what I would really love to do? Get one, strip it down of all it's superficial features, and recover over the paint/cracks etc. That would be a really sweet guitar.

I think that is a great thing what they did, so the people (who can afford it) can feel the joy to play on Steve's guitar....and he doesn't need to borrow it to everyone

Legend.

It is really worn tape. He put it there to prevent the high strings from catching under the pickup during heavy whammy usage.

Thumbs up for a "Flo" version next ;)

You are awesome

Steve vai looks very different person when not on the stage. He looks arrogant and perfectionist when on stage but when he not on the stage, he looks very humble and friendly. Makes me respect him more

oh my..look at Thomas' reaction!! it's all wow

I have seen so many JEM signatures go by and I would eventually like to buy one. But seeing as I'm not freakin' rich I think it's out of the question for now.

I get the status of the guitar as made famous by Vai. However, if I wanted that sound I would do it in a brand new version. That way it will tell my story over time in its dents and such...

Cool guitar

I would hope for that price they at least have the ebony fret board like the one I have that he played & signed in Hollywood, I love that guitar!!! I would love to have one of these too but I would want it to have the ebony fret board and gold hardware like most of his other EVO models and my signed model does. Ibanez makes great guitars!!!

Steve prefers the rosewood fretboard and all his jems have rosewood, besides any maple necks that used to run. I think they just ran the ebony lines for the japanese cuz they prefer expensive stuff

yeah i have seen one on sale and they are not cheap !!! about 7000 Euro and its called as a premium class Guitar

I love Steve Vai. In my opinion the music is not "the best". But love his character and the whole package. Very inspiring personallity.

That solo is from "Tender Surrender"

Was at the shop when one came in yesterday. OMG... it's the real deal. Not for the player on a paper route salary tho. BUT.. AMAZING non-the-less

Steve: "wow this neck is thin... kinda like the one... on the evo, right?" no wonder big shot, thats what the replica is based on

I SAW ONE AT A GUITAR SHOP NEAR WHERE I LIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
