Steve Vai's New Ibanez

From today's New Atlas feed, Steve Vai's new Ibanez:

Ibanez reveals crazy three-necked Hydra guitar built for Steve Vai

Multi-necked guitars are nothing new of course, examples of note include the Reversed Slide Neck from Luca Stricagnoli, Rick Nielsen's five-neck Hamer beast, and the beautifully bizarre Manzer Pikasso. The Hydra follows a similar path, but does so with monstrous style.

His name is Stevie Vai
And he's a crazy guy
Last November, I recall,
He needed a spanking!!
Might consider stealing one when I get three arms!

There's even an Ethernet port, as well as other features that are named but not yet detailed
USB ports, wireless capacity maybe. Can't find the full specs but it is surely loaded. Wonder what it weighs.

Going to be hard to get that down yer pants!

That's actually pretty cool! Way beyond my abilities, but cool!

Totally cool. Nuts, but cool!

Forgetting the steampunk stuff which is wild, what's the deal with the 12-string neck (fretted only part way), and the bass neck (fretted only on the treble string). I've never seen anything like that before.

Worth posting the picture! That 13-string sympathetic harp is almost invisible!
