the MACHINES / STEVE'S GUITARS
Ibanez Jem 7VWH ("Pogo")
Prototype, No serial number.


Pogo got it's name because of it's pickups. DiMarzio created two new prototype guitar pickups for Steve around 1992, called Evolutions and Pogos. Evo has the Evolutions, Pogo has the Pogos, and each guitar had its name written on the front for quick identification. Pogo was used in 1993-1997 as a backup guitar for Evo, and was ultimately given to Roger Bell, who was Steve's guitar tech on tour from 1993-1997.
