I think Vai was playing Evo. He had some triple neck thing too which I have no idea of the name.
Just a guess.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Evo is his second guitar, his main one starts with "F" and is three letters....

 

[Foz]

Have to ask a Beatles question.
On the Beatles album Revolver what do these 3 songs have in common?
Eleanor Rigby
Love You To
For No One

 

[Foz]

The answer is only 1 Beatle recorded each of these songs with session muso's.
No other Beatles were present. (a sign of things to come -White Album especially).
Paul did Eleanor Rigby and For No One. George did Love You To.
Better ask another question Cliffy I'm usless at making them up.
