I like how they went with the EVO2 for the bridge.

Adam Of Angels · 03-25-2010, 01:19 PM

Oh wow, I LOVE it. I wonder what it costs

Stealthdjentstic · 03-25-2010, 01:19 PM

I can't believe how badass they made flowers on a guitar look

I would imagine its due to the basswood body...Evo's are way to shrill for Basswood.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. The EVO2 sounds pretty good in Basswood though, truthfully, I'd like it to be Breeds.

I know these guitars are really nice, but thats not metal and I doubt i could bring myself to be caught holding it.

Looks like a design a 5 year old puts in their coloring book, or whats on grandma's bed sheets.

Customisbetter · 03-25-2010, 01:26 PM

that actually prety cool. im not a fan of the red on the inlays, but i could totally see myself playing one.

It's not meant to be a metal guitar, so your point is rather invalid.

If you're too insecure in yourself to rock a great guitar, just because the pattern isn't "brootal" then by all means, don't.

I think that looks absolutely terrible. Way too busy and chaotic. I don't see the appeal of this whatsoever. If Vai hadn't decided to be such a cheeseball way back when, I can't imagine anyone would like these today.

It's got nothing to do with it being 'metal' or 'brutal'. I love classy, stylish and/or unique looking guitars but this one just looks tacky and random. It's subjective of course, everyone's opinions are valid, but I'm really not getting the appeal here. From an artistic standpoint, so much clashes there it's almost tough to look at.

Guitar looks sick!

Thats not from the design contest is it?

synrgy · 03-25-2010, 01:34 PM

I think it looks rad. Tasteful, not over-the-top like so many other Vai models.

Not my cup of tea for something I'd want to own/play, but I do see the appeal.

Nah, it looks like the pattern of some of the artwork Steve has been using lately.

Evil7 · 03-25-2010, 01:40 PM

lol exactly..... Max i wont... Didnt mean to get you Heated...

People are different, and Music is openion so is Art.
You could let my openion roll off as a grain of salt.
My point is very valid for myself or someone like myself.
If a custom Shop B.C. Rich Beast was painted like that I wouldnt touch it. Its very clear that guitar wasnt ment to look "BR00tALLLLLz"
Im not dissing the guitar it's self... Its not the guitar's fault it looks Gay in my eyes.

+1 to you as well... I went to school for GraphicDesign and this is a Design mess.

Edit... Damn no Merging posts

Necris · 03-25-2010, 01:43 PM

Edit: There's a few parts of the artwork I don't like, now that I look at it again. The moon near the monkey grip really throws the whole color scheme and becomes the focus, And the headstock looks a bit busy for my tastes. But I love the fretboard inlay.

I'm not heated at all. I just feel like the whole "it's not metal" and "looks gay" are silly over played out arguments.

I'm fine with calling it an ugly guitar, with a shitty random pattern, that's too faux modern. It's all about preference.

No hard feelings, so why not give that rather angry smiley a rest.

If it's anything like the original Floral's there will be some variation in the pattern's placement.

This, it's hideous.

There has been a lot of "Grain of Salt" comments just about in every thread.... STOP IT!!!

lefty robb · 03-25-2010, 02:46 PM

I love the hate, these are very similar remarks when the origionals came out, and now look at them.

liamh · 03-25-2010, 02:50 PM

I honestly dont know if I like it or loathe it

+2. It's not the design itself - if done tastefully, it could have been badass. Problem is that it looks as though they just took a standard black guitar and Pritt-Sticked some MS Word clipart and a clear pickguard onto it. Not my cup of tea.

Whilst this isn't my dream guitar either, I think it's far more tastefully done:

Xiphos68 · 03-25-2010, 03:04 PM

Is this the most beautful JEM that Steve Vai said he was going to release?
