  • An Exclusive Look at the Steve Vai Signature Evo Guitar

    Posted on May 18, 2012 by Ryan Casselman

    Here at Cosmo Music we get new guitars in almost every day, and often they’re very nice. Every once in a while, however, something really special comes in. In this case, I’m referring to the Ibanez Steve Vai Evo replica guitar.

    A guitar hero like Steve Vai can have his pick of any guitar, but since 1993 his guitar of choice both on stage and in the studio has been Evo. The guitar is a combination of a prototype JEM that Ibanez was working on for Vai and Dimarzio Evolution pickups, which were also being developed for the guitarist at the [...]  Read more

    Posted on April 25, 2012 by Matt Metcalf

    Its the 25th anniversary of Ibanez's RG series guitars, marking the release of the new Ibanez RG1XXV-FPK. The body of the Ibanez RG1XXV-FPK combined with the bold fluorescent pink or yellow finish with black pickguard are reminiscent of the prime of power metal and high-octane shredding.

  • Mick's Pick of the Week: Ibanez DTT700 Destroyer

    Posted on February 22, 2011 by Mick Porime

    For the modern day metal player, a guitar not only has to look the part in order to match the intensity of the music, but it also must provide the performance, comfort and ease of playing to achieve it. This is exactly what the Ibanez DTT700 Destroyer brings to the table.

    The first Steve Vai Signature models, the JEM Series, debuted at the Chicago NAMM show in 1987.  The JEM's were the spearhead of the rebirth of Ibanez that year and the eventual status of Ibanez as one of the top three electric guitar companies in the world.
    While the first Ibanez JEM's were lightweight basswood and later the more traditional alder, the new JEM20TH body is fashioned of hand-crafted premium grade clear acrylic with a 3-D interior design which can actually be illuminated by internal green [...]  Read more
