I still can't believe he takes that on tour. If it was mine, it would be locked in a vault at my house and only used for recording. It's too pretty to take the abuse of the road. And I'd be too worried about theft.
I would be extraordinarily counterintuitive for Ibanez to make what would otherwise be a $5000+ guitar for an artist and then have the artist never appear in public with it. They dont build these guitars so guys can hide them away for fear of hurting them. They build them to be played until they are worn to bits and then they build another one.
Also - FWIW the upper fret access is not an issue. It might be a little awkward compared to a 2228 but its certainly no great feat to play in the high range.
