STEVE VAI – Selling Used Gear

“The house is full, the studios are full; the attics, basements and pool houses are full! Full of gear that Steve Vai breathed fire with, that is! Vai.com is going to be selling Steve’s Used Gear – Vai’s actual equipment – as part of a fall cleanup that will continue with one piece of Steve Vai owned/used gear once a month for as long as it takes. Items will be sold in a highest-bid, online auction style sale. These items may range from guitars, amps, pedals, accessories, clothing, stage accessories and etc. Each piece of monthly gear will be posted on this special auction page on vai.com, at the beginning of the month and then hit Ebay 10 days before it’s final action sale priced. Visit this location for this month’s auction, a pair of Melcor GME-20 EQs.”

Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde and John 5, along with drum powerhouse Mike Portnoy, bass icon Billy Sheehan and keyboard phenomenon Derek Sherinian are joining forces to play a benefit concert for guitar and keyboard virtuoso Tony MacAlpine, who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer.

Vai has donated his signature Ibanez Guitars Jem 77BRMR, which he has autographed on the back of the headstock and christened “T-Mac”, in honor of Tony. This guitar will be up for auction as part of the Benefit For Tony MacAlpine – more details on the auction coming soon.
