Beautifully packaged in a premium slipcase featuring the floral pattern made famous by the classic Ibanez JEM77FP, Wire & Wood is a massive two-volume photo book showcasing Vai’s best-known guitars from the studio, stage, and screen — all depicted in detailed high-resolution images spread across a combined 1,080 luxurious heavyweight pages.
Beyond the best-known axes lurking within Vai’s Harmony Hut backyard studio, author/photographer Michael Mesker managed to track down many classic guitars that had been given away, sold, or stolen — in one case recovering the infamous “Swiss Cheese” guitar, which appeared in the “Yankee Rose” music video before being purloined in 1986.
Guitars once glimpsed only in grainy 1980s music videos are examined in high detail, revealing their peculiarities, blemishes, configurations, and modifications.
Accompanying the high-quality photography are meticulously researched histories of each guitar, plus an information block listing nitty-gritty specs such as body and neck woods, pickups, neck measurements, and weight. The book’s deeper storyline follows the guitars that led to the development of the Ibanez JEM, and 7-string Universe charting the prototypes and experiments conducted over many years.
Wire & Wood is available in three different editions/sizes, and ships from the UK.
