"Tight bottom is just good" we still talking about guitars?!?
nope lol
Austin Moser maybe he was,maybe he wasnt but,either way he isn't wrong.
I’d rather a tight one over a gaping one
Nope, I was until that. Now I’m going straight to Porn hub lol. Just kidding. Maybe.
ROTFL..
it's ridiculous how awesome the guitar looks
"tight bottom is just good" - Steve VAi
i think we all agree on that one lol
I am loving that Jem with the mahogany body and the rosewood top, damn, absolutely stunning guitar.
Me too. Beautiful it is.
lol
I played one of them and they're great!!!!!!
Steve said, "Tight bottom is good." So very true.
I could spend the whole day hearing Steve, either talking or playing, such a genuine guy
'tight bottom is just... good.' - Steve Vai 2016. Words to live by.
"a tight bottom is good"
-Steve Vai 2016
My brother made an electric guitar in the 1990's by hand. It was 24 fret and had DiMarzio pickups and a Floyd Rose bridge. My brother was an amazing guy and could make alll sorts, R.I.P. Nigel.
Larry Dimarzio, please never stop making these type of videos. I love watching them.
Would love to see some more "up-close" playing footage from Bumblefoot or Richie Kotzen.
Keep making quality pickups & videos Larry, you're one the Kings.
God Bless!

" 'cause tight bottom is just goood."
*awkward pause*
OH STEVE!
@2:19
2:22 "Tight bottom is just good"
Sure is Steve, sure is ;)
Liked this video just because of those words of wisdom.
And the look he had in his eyes when he said that, was "just good"! 😂
😍😍😍 steve vai is definitely guitar daddy
So satisfying to hear/see a master like this just casually playing guitar.
Man Vai is an angel what a wonderfull person i hope i can meet him one day in person.
I have a woody jem, and Its one of the most unique guitars ive ever played. So many different sounds, but all of them quite special. Very spacey, 80s vibes.
That Ibanez is stunning
Nice to see you here...
bakerXderek didn't know you were into guitars! Cool stuff bro! Earned a sub today!
CHEA :D good to see you here, the legend himself!
Man, was never the biggest fan of the JEM model, but THIS one in particular with the new pickups and tones and everything....damn.
Still not too keen on the monkey grip, but I get the feeling if I ever get to try this particular model I'll probably fall in love with it hahahaha
It's actually incredibly handy for taking the guitar off in a standing position. It's just in the perfect place to easily grab.
It's normal i drop my jaw each time i see steve vai play guitar on any video?
"I don't really think about what I'm playing, I just play"
plays explosive thing that hits your soul like a freaking bullet
Is it just me or could you just want to listen to Steve Vai play and talk all day?
Its just you.
Totally agree, he is so inspiring
The amount of tone in that guitar is unbelievable.....
I don't understand how people can dislike this video. Seriously.
Great pickups Master Vai! It was amazing to see you and your great band in Charleston South Carolina for the Passion and Warfare show! Can't wait for the next
This is probably my favorite Vai clean stuff Ive heard. Those clean tones are nice.
I put an original DiMarzio super distortion in the bridge of my les Paul a long time ago and never looked back
Got damn that it one of the best lead tones I've ever heard! Well done!
Yea, but also you're into Savant!!! Good taste!
Guitareben Hell yeah! Savant is a genius.
sam crawford Of course a lot of that tone comes from Vai's technique. I bet you wouldn't be half as impressed if I were playing the same stuff.
I'm just glad he still has the skill he did in the 80s and 90s. and that he still brings out new products that are special
Best pickup demo I've seen on TH-cam !! Cool guitar too!
This jem is very beautiful......like a waork of art. The natural earth tones make it seem very poetic.
“....cause a tight bottom is just gooooood” lol that was gold right there
loooool
Im a SD geek but I love this new DiMarzio's Dark Matter 2 .Would love to get one when its available in local market. Steve Vai rules !!!!
Hi, It's available now. If you can't find it online please call DiMarzio direct 800 221 6468.
All the best,
Larry DiMarzio
I love you Mister Dimarzio. I own around 2 dozen guitars and almost everyone is outfitted with Dimarzios. I just wish that you would make a more powerful neck pickup.
I've been using Tone Zone's in the neck forward facing like in the bridge. If you could build them like that with a little bass rolled off it would be perfect!
billhillard Why not try a capacitor in line with the pickup to remove a little bass? Did that to my Tone Zone and it's perfect.
+LarryDiMarzio if vai is Thor you'd be Odin...cause your products produced tons of iconic guitar tones!!! you & "the Blucher" rock!!!
sky lar I'd prefer the neck to be a tad creamier but they sound good
The sound is almost dreamy through head phones with the echo! Bueatiful guitar..and a master playing it. ✌
" 'Cause tight bottom is just GOOD". Indeed, Mr. Vai, indeed...
That's one damn good looking guitar!
yup!
So awesome! What a combination... Steve Vai and DiMarzio! The new pickups look and sound fantastic.
I can't get over the presence these pickups have! They have such a great ring to them!
That guitar look very very premium quality must say
Yes, tight bottom is very good Steve!
Adam Youdell lol
the tone is amazing...great job lary...and steve you have a new beatiful guitar and the playing is always wonderful
Got the honour of seeing this crazy bastard live a few weeks ago... Jesus Christ what an artist. It's not the pickups but when he pulled this guitar out on "Answers" they just wailed. Wow. Dimarzio strikes again.
I know he is more known as a rock/metal shred guitarist, but I think we should give some credit to those outstandingly beautiful cleans! Class act!
"Tight bottom is just good" he knows what he did XD
you can just hear Vai in whatever he plays...his tone and phrasing...im listening to this and im hearing him 20 years ago
Love the sound of those new Dark Matters and such a cool looking guitar!!
That brown tone, my favorite Windows 98 theme...
damn...that guitar is beautiful
yeah CITES loves it also I guess..lol
Never see guitarist play guitar so smooth and clear like him
An 'old soul'. Very special music, I don't believe we'll hear better in our lifetimes. Steve.

-Steve Vai
He knows what he's doing 😂
Indeed it is Steve... in so many ways!
Was surprised how nice the cleans sound. Passion and Warfare came out the year I graduated high school. Who knew I'd start playing guitar on the 25th anniversary. Wish I would have started back then. Thanks Steve for all your inspiration.
No Words my friend, Just Awesome Thank you.
You heard it here folks " tight bottom is JUST GOOD", words of a wise and awesome individual.
Sweet upper middle emphasis, no overly clanky or harsh highs, and a very smooth not overly boomy low.. nice round tone..
Oh my goodness, that is such a beautiful guitar. Wish that was in my collection.
steve beeing outstanding as always. this man changed rock music like mozart changed classical music!
That neck pickup sounds amazing
Vai is wonderful. These pickups sound great, too.
that bridge pickup is so amazing.. its sounds perfect
Larry, you've hit a home run with these. I want a set.
Doesn't matter what pickups he uses, what guitar he uses, what amp he uses. The sound is in his fingers. He will ALWAYS sound like Vai... :P
Unless he plays everyones first guitar
But honestly, Steve Vai can make any guitar sound incredible.
tlkshowhst that's the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Beautiful guitar, perfect performance. You are simply the best, Steve
Very cool sounds!!
That is one beautiful guitar!
0:30 that pinch pre-bend might be the sexiest thing I've ever heard
great video! cool looking guitar, I like that alot, and it sounds even better
I could watch Vai play all day
Tight bottom is just GOOD!! :D
Are we still talking about pickups? LOL!
Steve Vai one of the coolest people on the planet as usual
Amazing pickups!For my Ibanez rg550!!!Sounds excellent!!!!!!!Thanks Dimarzio!!!!
Those have a really crazy range of sound. Seen a lot of pickups that barely change when switching through the positions.
Steve, thanks for being such a cool guy! Truly inspiring guitar player and down to earth guy.
i like his vibrato style-its circular.
This guitar is beautiful as far as color composition and some other details are concerned, very beautiful.
I love Steve’s guitar playing, amazing talent he has
2:20 ...because tight bottom is just good.
those sound amazing
Missed Steve in December in St. Pete. Puts on a very awesome show
I like that clean setting on the trebble pickup. Very nice indeed but then again just about everything that Steve plays is nice. :)
this man is a really good player man... i am impressed every time,
His playing is always so lyrical. This is what separates him from all the other shredders. Great tone too 👍
I love that wood grain Jem. His white and gold one (Flo) was always my favorite, and I set up a lot of mine with that scheme... but I think this one is my new favorite.
I could listen to Steve play all day!
Valerie Ann same with me
Wow, has it been that long now? 25 (27) years? First time I heard Vai, couldn't believe someone could make a guitar sound like that. What incredible talent and passion.
steve vais totally cool i love his music... and his part in crossroads that shit blew my mind.
Holy shit...the pickup configurations on that guitar are INSANE!!! Not to mention that the guitar itself is a work of ART!! I WANT ONE!!!
"The BEST PLAYERS play the BEST PICKUPS"
Nothing beats the combination of Ibanez guitars and Dimarzio pickups. Mr. Dimarzio you rock!
I'm digging that new Ibanez and the pickups too.
This is the coolest JEM I have seen yet. I just like woody guitars, I have an Ibanez S series with a burled Ash top. Wood grain just has that beauty that you don't really have with a paint job
Sounds great. Vai is such an original player. I can listen to him all day long.
I will say that's the most gorgeous gem model I have ever seen.
Clark Feeley jem
sorry, but it's "jem".. but i agree!
daniel johnston
Yeah my bad, It wont allow to edit it. grammar police guilty, I am.
Clark Feeley haha its fine i was just letting you know in case you were unaware!
That tone is amazing
Vai just gets better with age. Incredible.
Love Dimarzio pick ups, my bridge is the D activator x and center pick up is the Hs3 on my strat great sound and products
Love the neck position in cleans
Such an amazing player.
2:18 lol, I think he almost said "fatter bottom". It's okay to say it, Steve... They make the Rockin' World go 'round.
I'll be in the front row in Orlando seeing Steve tonight !!!!!!!
Mr. Vai you are the man, modern primitive is refreshing. I'll always remember the show I went to with my Dad back in 08 I think it was, at the Cleveland House of Blues. Eric Sardinas was one hell of an opening act as well.
His string action is close to the fret board I bet if you blow on the stings notes will come about !! I've always loved Steve's style and sound .. I'll never ever get board listening to him play or even noodle about .. Compelling and rich !!!
