In this video, Stevie shows off his guitar collection. one guitar he has is a Kiesel CS6. He had this made custom with Jeff as a tribute to his friend - Producer/Engineer Carmen Sorge who passed away. Steve specked out the guitar to be just like a guitar Carmen would have liked. Steve states that Carmen was a huge Alex Lifeson fan, so he made the guitar look like one played by Alex.
