I bought one of the emerald Majesty Petrucci guitars and when I opened the case it was one of the, if not theeee most beautiful guitar I've ever seen, even still. After I spent some time with it, we just didn't gel - didn't feel right on, like it sat differently on me than any other guitar I played so I sent it back. Definitely great guitars that can do literally everything, but not for me. I thought when I ordered it I would never need to buy another guitar again.Signature gear is just another way for builders and artists to make money. Vai deserves it, but often times this kind of stuff doesnt work for me. My white Jem and GMC universe are 2 examples. He makes them sound amazing, but they’re just not really for me tonally. IMO buy what sounds good to YOU, let Vai be Vai, thats why we love him. We are not him, we are us!
