"For his stint on the Experience Hendrix tour, Ibanez built Vai this three single-coil guitar that he hand-painted as a tip of the hat to Jimi's famous Monterey Strat. The pickups are custom DiMarzios voiced to have traditional Strat tones. While Vai normally prefers a rosewood fretboard, this one has maple to balance the single-coils."
