New article name Evo (Guitar)

Evo is the popular nickname for the Ibanez JEM7VWH owned and played by American guitarist Steve Vai. It was co designed by Vai's and guitar manufacturer Ibanez in 1987. 'Evo' still retains identical specifications to the production model, with several aesthetic modifications.

Origins

When Vai was co-designing the JEM7 range of electric guitars, he was sent 4 identical production guitars by Ibanez. Vai installed one with pickups he was developing with DiMarzio, named 'Evolution', and decided to use the model as his main guitar. He nicknamed the guitar 'Evo' after the installed pickups, to help distinguish the guitar from the other production models.

Vai began playing 'Evo' just before the recording of his studio album [Sex and Religion]. In his own words, "She has been my main axe since".
