The full proceeds from this auction went to the Casey Lee Ball Foundation for Pediatric Kidney Research, which is a nonprofit organization where every donated dollar goes to research. The major source of funding for the Foundation has been the Casey Lee Ball Golf Classic, an annual charity golf tournament held with celebrity guests. Their fundraising efforts have raised over $2 Million to pay for much needed pediatric kidney research! As a result of this research, several new medicines are helping to reduce the side-effects of kidney transplant anti-rejection medicines. The guitar
is a custom Ibanez electric with a figured maple top with a transparent
red finish and clear pickguard. The guitar's neck is a Jem 7VWH neck with
a vine fretboard inlay, and the guitar's bridge is a gold Lo Pro Edge.
It plays and sounds great, and has gone with Vai & band through several
dozen different countries. There is some wear on the pickguard and elsewhere,
but the guitar is still in great shape and has been in Steve's arsenal
of guitars since the mid-90s. This is your chance to help support a wonderful
organization that's doing truly great and important work, AND get yourself
a unique piece of guitar history!  Signed by Steve Vai
