Pd $1470. Although I very much appreceiate Steve Vai's contribution and talent I was looking for specific things on my next guitar. Strat alder body, 24 fret ebony neck, hot but not steril pups, good floating bridge, and believe it or not I wanted it painted white. It's all the truth. I'm glad it wasn't named a vai guitar or anything similar because I just couldn't buy it then. Truth be told the only thing I have a problem with is the "monkey grip". That just takes away from the wood for no good reason IMO.

I already explained this however this guitar can with a proper setup can have awesome action (no matter how silly you want to go in either direction), tone, and playability. A lot of this guitar is in the neck (and trem if you're a wanker ;]).

Again, monkey grip.

This is your high end guitar. There's only so many words that can explain it if you've never experienced one.

From what I've heard don't expect great customer service from Ibanez although I must say I've never had to find out myself. I've always delt with my local shop for wiring and major stuff.
