The ST body shape it features follows the lines of one of the most widespread electric guitars, like the Stratocaster. Its design has a double-cut body for access to the highest frets and an extended "horn" on the upper side that offers perfect balance during upright playing.

With a wide range of supporters, including Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, David Gilmour, and Jeff Beck, it is clear that the ST Style shape can handle virtually any musical style.

The thin, flat, and fast Ibanez Wizard neck is strong, durable, and features two-octave frets for a wide tonal range.

Their collaboration began in 1985 when Vai asked Ibanez to make him a guitar with special features that would allow him to play his complex musical pieces. This guitar was the Ibanez JEM, which became very popular in the guitarist community.

Since then, their collaboration continues, and they have worked together to create many other guitars, such as the Ibanez Universe, JEM2, and JEM7V. These guitars have many unique details, such as decorative elements on the headstock and the body of the guitar.

Steve Vai's collaboration with Ibanez has created a series of exceptional guitars, loved by many guitarists and associated with the sound and style of Steve Vai.
