Steve Vai Triple Neck Custom Jem Tee

When you’re Steve Vai, ordinary guitars just don’t cut it. Enter the legendary Triple Neck Custom Jem—a one-of-a-kind monster axe built by the Ibanez custom shop to Vai’s exacting vision. Three necks. Infinite style.

This jaw-dropping creation was originally designed for the Sex & Religion tour, specifically to let Vai transition seamlessly between songs like “Earth Dweller Return” (on the fretless neck) and “Here and Now,” all without changing guitars mid-performance.

Each neck serves a unique musical purpose:
• Top Neck: 12-string standard for lush, layered soundscapes
• Middle Neck: Classic 6-string setup for Vai’s signature shredding
• Bottom Neck: Fretless with a built-in sustainer—ideal for expressive, vocal-like phrasing and infinite sustain

This iconic instrument was featured during G3 tours and can be seen in action during live performances such as “I Know You’re Here.” Despite its heavy custom nature, it remains a fully functional, touring guitar—currently residing in Steve’s personal collection.

Now, Vai fans who are mystified with this one-of-a-kind Jem can celebrate this instrument with an exclusive tee from Guitar Nut Tees—officially approved by Steve himself. Ships worldwide!

This t-shirt is everything you've dreamed of and more. It feels soft and lightweight, with the right amount of stretch. It's comfortable and flattering for all.
