Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.47% — somewhat different

This Ibanez JEM in a DNA hydrodip swirl finish belongs to Steve Vai's long-running signature JEM line, the guitar built around his input in the mid-1980s and recognizable for its pointed body horns, monkey-grip handle, and Lo-Pro Edge tremolo designed to handle his extreme whammy-bar technique without losing tuning stability. The hydrodip process used for the DNA finish applies a swirling, marbled pattern by dipping the guitar body in patterned film floated on water, giving each unit a unique, one-of-a-kind visual pattern rather than a fixed, repeatable factory color, a fitting match for Vai's overall embrace of individuality and visual flair across his gear.
The Ibanez SLM10 is Scott LePage's signature AZ series electric guitar, introduced in 2019. The guitar features a quilted maple top over American basswood body bolted to a one-piece roasted maple neck with roasted maple fingerboard and 22 stainless steel frets. The 25.5 inch scale length and 42mm nut width provide a comfortable, modern playing platform. A custom DiMarzio IGNO humbucker bridges with DiMarzio True Velvet single-coils in the neck and middle positions, enabling excellent sustain and flexible tonal range from clean to crunchy tones. The five-way pickup selector switch accesses at least five distinct pickup combinations with a T1502 synchronized tremolo and Graph Tech TUSQ nut.
