This JEM77P-BFP is a fantastic instrument for players who want to explore Vai’s signature style and aggressive, high-gain tones. The neck profile is a dream for fast playing, and the tremolo system is surprisingly stable. It’s a premium-priced guitar, but delivers a lot of performance for the money if you’re into that modern, high-output sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
It provides exceptional stability and allows for very precise neck adjustments, ensuring optimal action and feel even with heavy tremolo use.
While they excel at high-gain, the Gravity Storms can produce usable clean tones with careful volume and tone knob adjustments, though they're primarily designed for distortion.
