I was given a ticket to Billy's 1987 show at Festival Hall in the late '80s. I wasn't particularly into Billy, but I thought, "a free ticket; why not go?" I was excited to find that my seat was in the first row, right in front of Steve Stevens. It was great seeing him up close. Watching him play Rebel Yell meant that I was one of the few guitarists around town who played the intro it properly. 😀 Being a Charvel guy and a Steve Vai fan, I was pumped to see the Hamer-sponsored Stevens playing a Charvel.
There's a guy in the US who's written a lot about this guitar on a few forums. He even managed to borrow it from Steve -- or so he says -- to take measurements, etc.
Hey there's a newer interview with Steve on RUclips where he goes over in pretty good detail the guitars he used to record and tour, I think it's an ESP video but can't remember exactly I'm sure you can easily find it it wasn't that long ago that I saw it on RUclips.

That's a nice looking (non) Charvl you got there
thank you
I’ve played the original SS glow guitar and am quite familiar with it.
Nice build. Have you seen the Jackson soloist he shows in the Bad 25 documentary ? Just as elusive as the charvel, but he toured with it as well.
i didnt know that! Will check it out - thanks
Where did you get the decal?
Do you wear that GN hoodie/t-shirt when you go out? Cheers
i wear that & nothing else
