Ha! Thank you. Pretty much what I thought when I ran across it. Kind of liking the JEM Neck. Little different feel than prior Ibbys I've had previously.

Finding the Evolutions to be very well balanced and responsive. Plus I really like the tone.

Finally snapped a good pic of it!!! Also had some time with the Evolutions; I'm very impressed...most balanced matching set of Humbuckers I've run across...seamless switching between the neck and bridge volume wise, very articulate and clear lovely tone in either position.

Finishing fouches; Vai TRC and Planet Waves Strap with Dunlop Straplocks!!! Gotta grab a string retainer bar and it's done.

Wow, nice score! I'm genuinely jealous!

Those Evolutions are killer. Rather underrated in the market today, but I think tonally they are more "relevant" now than ever before. Go figure!

Thank you! I've been enjoying playing it since I picked it up. Always fun picking up a guitar that inspires you to play it.

My first experience with Evolutions but I've been very impressed with their balance, clarity and overall tone. Actually made revisit some Vai CDs and listen a bit more closely to his playing. Odd part is a lot of people them as "unforgiving" but I just don't see that characteristic. Pretty cool all around in my opinion.
