I’ve been trying to do this for some time and finally had a bit of time to record myself yesterday. so here it is, my first video-log, it’s pretty rough, and it’s definitely no Steve Vai but what the hell, it’s me and viewers can take it as it is: Raw

Guitar v-log Volume 1
Sunday, June 27th, 2010Design your own specialty Ibanez guitar with Satch
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Ok I think the guitar heroes have been sitting around a table recently and bounced ideas off each other. Closely following the “Design a JEM” contest, it’s now Joe Satriani’s turn to propose a competition for people to design their own guitar. Only this time it’s not tied in to the JEM, but to Joe Satriani’s signature models.
And the prizes are quite enticing too, check this out:
- an Ibanez guitar with the winner’s own design
- a Vox Satchurator
- a Planet Waves strap
- Joe’s new CD and DVD “live in Paris”
The contest runs until the 16th of March so get to your pencils!
For more details, check out the official page for the contest, along with the submission form and a design template
Design a JEM contest rules available
Monday, February 15th, 2010
Direct from Steve Vai himself, the rules for the Design a JEM contest have now been published by Ibanez. They’re pretty straightforward, though I recommend you read them first before going toooo crazy on submitting a design, there are certain restrictions. Other than that as long as you’re over 18 and not an employee of Ibanez, you’re free to enter. Here’s the details in Steve’s words:
To celebrate the sale of the 77,777th Ibanez Jem guitar, Steve Vai and Ibanez are holding a very special contest that gives you the opportunity to design the Ibanez Jem of your dreams! The winner of the contest will have the guitar made for them to their specifications by Ibanez. Only two guitars will be produced – one for the winner and one for Steve, making this one of the rarest Jems ever produced! The contest is on now! Visit http://www.ibanez.co.jp/JEMUV/contest.html for official rules, details and your Jem template. Three entries per person are permitted, so go crazy! Contest ends on June 6th 2010.
In addition to the design software from Jemsite I posted last time, there’s also a template available for the the Ibanez website to use as a base. So get designing, you can submit up to 3 designs so don’t worry about not getting it quite right the first time.
Design the Ibanez JEM of your dreams
Sunday, January 17th, 2010Aah, the JEM, such an iconic guitar for the fanboys like myself who relish in simple, yet elegant designs in a guitar which can be customised again and again but still retain its essence. Unfortunately, the JEM is a high level guitar and therefore one I’ve never been able to afford. But there might be hope.
Steve Vai and Ibanez have announced an upcoming contest for you (and me, umm, hopefully) to design the next JEM. This is to celebrate the 77,777 JEM to be sold (I did say they are expensive) and there will be only 2 manufactured: One for the winner and one for Steve. Check the video below:
Now if you don’t know how to design a guitar, that’s ok, neither do I, but there’s a great resource on line to come up with ideas, it’s called the VRG-Builder. It won’t allow you to do fancier designs than plain colour but it can give you a template to begin with.
If residents outside the US can enter, I might give it a shot, as I would love to own a custom-made JEM. More on the Ibanez website, contest details have not yet been announced.
Satch presents the new Ibanez JS2400
Sunday, January 17th, 2010I almost bypassed this one. It’s a few days old but the official Ibanez YouTube channel posted a video of Joe Satriani talking about his newest guitar which he used on a few Chickenfoot songs, the JS2400. The main new feature is the neck extending to 24 frets, which required some slight design changes on the body.
It’s a sleek looking guitar and it seems like a good choice for those looking for something giving a bit of a vintage sound with the option of staying heavy. Here’s the video below:
Now you can pre-order it from guitarguitar for £1,670 if you fancy it
