"BRAXIS", SV262. Serial Number: LA0017.
From the personal collection of Steve Vai. BRAXIS was built for Steve in 2014, by the Ibanez LACS. This Jem is a prototype ordered by Steve to experiment with a fatter neck profile, and a compound radius fretboard. The guitar was also outfitted with jumbo EVO gold fret-wire, and an Ibanez Backstop trem-setter. A push-pull volume control was added, giving Steve the option to engage a high pass filter on the taper of the volume control. The neck is unfinished, and features no volute at the back of the headstock (a feature found only on LACS special order guitars, built for Steve). The pickups are not standard Evolution models, but instead the DiMarzio Breed ensamble.
BRAXIS was sold during the 2022 November Steve Vai Julien's Auction, and has since been returned to Steve. This time, the unique instrument will be auctioned once again, in support of Extraordinary Families. This charity supports children and youth in foster care, aiding in childhoods and futures they rightfully deserve.
This guitar will include it's original hardshell case, as well as Steve's DiMarzio cliplock strap, and tremolo arm.
