havn't heard any of them yet but did you see his guitars on that site...WOW i like this one the triple neck

[Stiglar]

yeah he's got some freaky stuff ...

he's got a few triple necks theres the classic pink one .. and a purple one as well ...

i love all the weird ibanez ones his has from when he was with david lee roth ... like that flame one and the storm cloud shaped one ...

what ever happen to the cheese one..it was around the eat em and smile era..it looked like a cheese block witha bunch of holes..and didn't some of them get stolen from him..

[Stiglar]

yeah heaps got stolen including that cheese one i think ...

i'm not too sure i haven't read his site for quite a while

[wahwah]

now thats just showing off with 3 necks! I mean Rick Neilsen never really played all 5 of his but I bet Vai taps with both hands and uses his tongue on one of them...thats sick shit for the rest of us mortals! [img]images/smilies/icon_nono.gif[/img]

i've seen some video of steve vai using the 3 neck on his ultra zone tour in 2000-2001 and it was absolutely phenominal .. he used all three at the same time and all kinds of stuff .. he wrote a song for his ultra zone album especially for it called fever dreams .. it's a great song and it's an amazing guitar ..(the big heart 3 neck i mean)

i read an interview where he was saying the reason he wrote the song fever dream was to show off the guitar and use all 3 necks .. he was saying he felt like an idiot when he used it back with david lee roth because it was a prop basically and he only really used one neck and he didn't want to go down in history looking like an idiot everytime someone brougth up photos from that tour ! lol !
