Ibanez and Steve Vai So I started using Tom's guitar as my main guitar for the rest of the tour, and I really like it because it has a very heavy sound to it. I was pulling on the whammy bar and ripped the bar right out of the guitar it was actually ripped out before the show at Madison Square Garden. He built this for me after my old green monster, which I used out on the road last year until it died.

Previously, Vai used handbuilt guitars by Charvel and Jackson.

The design of the Ibanez JEM series was heavily influenced by the superstrat style of guitars of the early 1980s such as the Jackson Soloist, Kramer Beretta and Hamer Chaparral. Although the Ibanez JEM series is a signature series guitar, Ibanez mass-produces several of the guitar's sub-models. As of 2010, there have been five sub-models of the JEM: the JEM7, JEM77, JEM777, JEM555, JEM333, and JEM70V. The guitar's most notable user is its co-designer, Steve Vai. The Ibanez JEM is an electric guitar manufactured by Ibanez and first produced in 1987.
