The World´s Greatest Living Guitarist™ Steve Vai has been busy of late. Not only has he been working on an intriguing ‘orchestra project´ he´s also been setting a task or two for his homeboys at Ibanez Hoshino.
As reported in Guitarist, production on the new 1990 reissue of the Ibanez Universe has begun, and he´s also launched the JEM Floral Pattern 2, which has just been unveiled at Frankfurt 2010.
