Steve Vai introduces the Ibanez JEM-EVO

I love how vai puts his heart into everything he does

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

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

You can't end a video like that, Ibanez!! I wanna see more of Thomas's reactions..

Steve Vai is right, a guitar speaks for you. It says the things you can't say

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.

today on pawn stars, somebody tries to sell a "genuine" steve vai guitar....

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

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!😊😊

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

I freaking love his tone and sound.

You could see how touched he was from the moment he first opened the case. Thanks for this video!

"You should get this reaction." Covers up reaction with giant Ibanez logo, and then fades out.

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'.

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!!

Love this guy - down to earth, humble and friendly !!

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 !!! 

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

Happy birthday dude

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
