Nope. Some are reliced to match specific instruments, but you can order relicing on anything from the Custom Shop, and if you think it's not for fake cred then I've got bad news for you.

"Horror Queefs," how many posters singled you out and put up pics of your personal guitars in this thread to attack you for your taste in instruments? I can't help that I'm being stalked by console warriors.

Vai isn't for everyone, that's cool. It was a different time when he hit the scene. I don't exactly look to GBS for informed discussion of guitarists or their instruments.

Legit thanks for that link, I've been looking for replacement parts for my pawn shop Strat and didn't know Fender sold them direct.

Got this in trade... been trying to sell it ever since. It's like a loving albatross around my neck. Sounds great, looks ridiculous on a middle aged man playing doom/stoner metal.

i had a bass player once who was a total sperg. i had written a song that was essentially just a blues tune in the key of e major. i played an e chord, he had this neat run he did with f#, g#, like b and c#. when i played the c# chord, he went to f.. and i told him he needed to flatten that to an e, or try another approach, it didn't sound right.


he went off about music theory and how i didn't know a loving thing, that he was a classically trained pianist and i was a hack, so i told him to gently caress off. 3 weeks later and 2000 unanswered text messages from him i changed my number. he's finally gotten some professional help and is really into jesus now (the drugs are working)

Bo Diddley built his rectangular guitar because he once stabbed himself in the dick with the horns on his Gretch by jumping around on stage.

if he had played one of the point things in Fair Hallion's post he probably would have bled out and died right there at the show.

I just read all 16 pages of this horseshit in one sitting and did not stop laughing once.

People like Faustus are why I am a terrible guitarist. I sit down and think to myself "maybe I should learn a scale so I can solo at some point in the future."

And then I think about giant pretentious rear end in a top hat guitarists, go NOPE and go back to jamming on four-chord rock and roll.

I understand fully how they work, I know how circuits make sound, but I don't understand how you can't replicate/improve that with effects. It's like saying "Yeah I modified the oscillator and amp circuit to make sounds you can't possibly replicate" when you could just throw something in front of it in the circuit line and do the same. If you'd like to explain how your electrical magic works i'm sure we'd all be interested.

Also I went back to look at your guitar collection picture and jesus lol I didn't realize how it looked. You have like 6 guitars that look the same, a handled abortion, two first-act looking acoustics, and I guess one alright looking one. Great line up for 27 years.


Steve Vai is kind of really spergy so actually yes, maybe

circuits don't make sound when it comes to guitars oscillators have nothing to do wit it

there are specific harmonics that are excited in the waveform givnig it unique character and replicating that isn't as simple as you think!

rear end gently caress tard this faustus guy is afctually Really Cool Guitar Guy unlike what you guys think. he shreds, id love to hire him to work in my studio when i'm kanye west.

For anyone who is curious, the body is covered in fabric that is (purportedly) based on the drapes at Steve Vai's mom's house. There are three patterns for the back, front, and headstock. The fabric is applied, then a sunburst finish is sprayed over the fabric. If you look closely, you can see the weave of the fabric but it's pretty tight and you have to look very closely.
It was one of the most popular JEMs and they made it for several years, but they've been out of production for many years now. Mine has the serial # neck plate from 1988 on it, so it's either a late '88 or an early '89 (I bought it in late '89 with money I made building PS/2s on the production line in NC).

Enjoy!



Wait, I have a better picture in the sunlight, with the puppy's toys:



The pickups and knobs all used to be the same color, but two are replacements and UV fades the plastic pretty quickly. Plus, it's like 25 years old.

you can emphasize certain frequency ranges through component choice (which is pretty much the biggest difference between most amps' gain stages), but it's easier to do that in an external box though some people put preamps and poo poo in their guitars
