Vai's main axe

[AleTheNervo]

I only wanted to knox what were Steve's main axes before evo.
I remember he used to play an FP but the others?

...then does anyone have pics of Steve playing the 777s?

knox?

7PBK, GMC, BPF, UV's

Hes played a load of guitars, but i think the only two "main axes" were the Meanie, and EVO... and now, with EVO almost to pieces, FLO is gaining up...

I wonder if FLO is the floral he used to play before the VWH days, or if its another one... Ill have grandkids before the All About FLO is posted on vai.com

I think it would be cool if he starting using a floral again. Except make it different. How cool would a BFP be if it was all green. Pickups,inlay on maple, and the normal BFP cloth except a vibrant green. I can see it now...a GFP.

What about taking back one of the first jem i've never seen him playing a dy, sk or lgn? did he ever use them on stage?

ive seeen alot of him wit that rg550 jem.. before ownin that evo..

[jim777]

When he finally retires Evo he should go with a completely new guitar, hopefully not the mirrored one. Something entirely new.

Perhaps its going to be the VSBL that he's been playing a lot of, at the Metropole and now ZPZ..

Lol, I think AleTheNervo meant to say know, but must have been looking at pix

Before Evo he was mainly playing Universes wasn't he?

[spkenn5]

was it knox or konx? ive seen konx on some of his guitars.. not sure about knox

[knarfzednem]

It is konx he has written on the tape over his neck pickup. His main guitar seems to be Evo, and it will probably be a long time until he decides to retire it. It seems that the only problem with it was the crack near the neck joint. Last I heard, it was reported on the Vai boards, by a moderator, to have been repaired. The only other thing wrong with it is cosmetic damage.
Flo is another one of his frequently used Jems, but mainly only when he uses the sustainer.

what the hell?

[jem7vwh]

Generally speaking, Vai played the JEM77FP a fair amount before picking up Evo (a JEM7VWH as his main guitar). He's also played a JEM7PBK and the JEM777DSY a bit
