Why does Steve Vai play Ibanez?

Ibanez worked hard to keep up with the times, eventually approaching one of the hottest players in the world – Steve Vai – in order to collaborate on a brand-new signature model. As a discerning guitarist with more than a passing interest in guitar design, Vai began working closely with the team at Ibanez.

What is the difference between the Ibanez JEM and Jem Jr?
