Odd Vai Memorabilia piece

I stopped into my fav music store the other day and the owner, who is a friend and knows my VAIces, said he had something for me and went into the back.
He came out with one of those illuminated posters about 2 ft by 1 ft in a metal box- color shot of Vai on a black 7-string with a lightning bolt backround. He's wearing the exact cloths from the cover of P&W, right down to the earrings. This box has the flourecent bulbs so it's really bright.
The bottom say Ibanez in dark blue and Steve Vai in white right abouve it.

Kinda cool- thought I'd ask if anyone knows about these. It appears they were sent from Ibanez out to dealers for display.

Which store was this? I'm in CT quite a bit, that'd be fun to see. Thanks!

It was given to me by East Coast Music Mall in Danbury.
Morgan's one of the owners and we've been friends for decades.
He was cleaning out his basement and "discovered"it. Knowing I'm an avid Vaiaholic, he gave it to me.
Nice to have friends.

yep, it's nice to have friends, one of my friends who's a really big collector of music gave 1st edition flexable disc and a jibboom single. actually it's quite easy to find some vai memorabilia here in turkey cuz he isn't known very much lol
