Funny Story about that Steve Vai guitar. When I was younger I managed a guitar store. We were on Long Island which is where Steve Vai is from. He used to shop at the store before he was well…Steve Vai and had a great relationship with the store. When Ibanez introduced the Gem he autographed and numbered a bunch of them (I forget how many). He had #1 and we got #'s 2,3,4 and 5.

This is a GREAT idea! Neon green with Purple heart inserts please!
There’s a free file online to 3D print that body. I’m assembling a 3D printed bass for a buddy right now. They are… interesting.
How does the tone “wood “ effect the sound ?![]()
That’s more like “tone would” because it ain’t there at all.
