Ibanez Steve Vai Passion And Warfare 25th Anniversary

2015 marked the 25th anniversary of the release of Steve Vai’s landmark solo album, Passion & Warfare. Critically acclaimed and publicly celebrated for its unique artistic vision and sheer musical muscle, Passion & Warfare, is now considered the milestone that marks the arrival of the 7-string solid body electric guitar.

This 7-string guitar, which Steve dubbed the ‘Universe’, was showcased prominently on Passion & Warfare, and opened the door for guitarists of every musical background to expand their artistic horizons.Initially adopted by like-minded guitar virtuosos, Steve’s vision of a new musical landscape took a turn that perhaps even he hadn’t anticipated when, in the hands of Korn and other purveyors of 90’s new metal, the 7-string became mandatory equipment for anyone engaging in the genre.
