"With this guitar I broke out the seven string for a bunch of tracks on this record, which I haven't done in a while. This is the one I like the most. It's the burnt seven-string. This is really a dipped guitar. There are some of them around. Ibanez made a bunch of them, and I just took a blow torch and I just burnt it up and then scraped it up, and I got this. It just has a nice tone and a nice feel. You know you go back and forth, I had trouble going back and forth from the six and seven string but now it's much easier. I use this guitar on Weeping China Doll, Valorum, and the Story of Light," explains Steve Vai about his Ibanez Universe Burned Seven-String Electric Guitar.
