NEWS: Steve Vai auctions Jem, pickups, necks. I sell a kidney.
Anyone wanna buy a kidney? Cos I need to raise funds quickly to participate in some auctions coming up on eBay courtesy of one Mr Steve Vai.
A Vai.com mailout today included the following tantalising tidbit:
Vai.com Winter Ebay Extravaganza
Steve has been clearing out the garage and it’s time for a winter sale.
Among the goodies up for grabs is a Jem777VDY – used both live and in the studio, this yellow Jem was given to an assistant of Steve’s a few years back. In recent times this guitar came back into Steve’s possession, and we now make it available for you. We are open to serious offers on this guitar ahead of it appearing on Ebay. Email us at talk2us[at]vai.com with offers or inquiries.
Also up for grabs are a set of DiMarzio prototype pickups, Jem necks, used pedals, straps, amps and more!
Check back in the coming days for a list of gear and photos.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), guitarworld.com, Tone Deaf, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Reverbnation or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
