I'm digging the Tom Anderson "Drop Top" wannabe RG. Very nice.

As for the first guitar, I'm not really sure whether that is really a custom shop model, jem's are kinda exclusive to Vai himself. A closeup picture of the inlay at the 24th fret would be nice though.

As for the last picture...A C Chord always works just fine!

Thanks for posting these pics.

The top one looks like the original Bad Horsie guitars (not the new mirror topped ones, the old ones you can see on his website).

Cool pics!

You are wondering about the third guitar from the top.
It's a 540P series. To be specific a 540PTC. P stands for power series and Tc for triple coil, which is the pu ofcourse. There's one on **** right now if I'm not mistaken. You don't see them too often but they're not the rarest of the rarest. Satriani played them in the early days.

Nice pics, 13east!

Do Tom Anderson's even come with 24 frets and contoured neck heels?

The Drop top mock, is very nice.

As for the PG one, I think it's just a standard RG from the old days, with a few mods have course.

She looks like she is about to go to a prom or something. haha.

That 'drop top' one is a MRG-4 it was a special edition J-Custom spot production model for Kurosawa gakki. There's also a MRG-5 which was the same thing without the pickguard but also had the vine of life inlay.

Nothing too special on this one other than the fact that is has a sunburst finish with an Ebony fretboard. (Oh yeah and gold hardware)

Btw. Almost all the Ibanez J-Custom tops are drop tops since a 'Drop Top' is really just a top that is bend(ie. dropped) into place and not carved.

I own this one. The pic shows the wrong color. It's not pink. It's actually more of a purple.

Very very cool. That PG guitar color does seem really off in the photo.

Like any bride would be caught playing a guitar with her wedding-day manicure!

The first guitar says "RG Series" on the headstock but seems to have the BSB/DBK-style "Philips head" dot inlays. The body looks like a laminate of ash or walnut over mahogany, and that looks like a fake carbon-fibre pickguard. The only thing that says "JEM" about that one is the monkey grip handle. I suspect it wasn't made by Ibanez at all... it seems like a lot of aftermarket mods to me.
