A couple of gems from Steve Vai's childhood home just hit Reverb. And it's not his old, budget gear, either.
From an Ibanez JEM 7-string and a top-of-the-line combo amp, to a small effects chain, this is the rig that the guitar legend would use to practice for East Coast gigs and tours.
"Not too long ago, I visited my childhood home on Long Island," Steve says, "and I realized that, through the years, I would leave gear there that I would use when I was in Long Island for all sorts of different things."
The Steve Vai gear for sale includes:
- An Ibanez JEM7V-WH, owned and signed by Steve Vai, with its original hardshell case
- A Carvin Legacy II 2x12" combo amp owned by Steve Vai
- A Boss DS-1 Distortion, Boss DD-5 Digital Delay, and Dunlop CryBaby 95Q, all owned by Steve Vai and used in his childhood home
- A Fender Stratocaster signed by Steve Vai and all other members of the Generation Axe supergroup from the band's 2016 tour, including Tosin Abasi, Nuno Bettencourt, Zakk Wylde, and Yngwie Malmsteen
