Check out Steve’s “Ultra Guitar” that is currently being played on tour through this article on MusicRadar.com. The design of the guitar is based on the Aaron Brown’s illustration for Vai’s 1999 album, The Ultra Zone, which depicts an “alien Steve” playing a futuristic-looking axe. The guitar is designed by Alistair Hay of Ireland.
Steve is featured on the cover of the October 2012 issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine. The publication is currently on newsstands or by subscription.
Steve talks to Examiner.com about the first few shows of the tour, the new record, working with David Lee Roth and more:

Steve and DiMarzio have collaborated once again to create a new set of signature humbuckers called Gravity Storm™ pickups. The name comes from a track on Vai’s upcoming album, “The Story of Light” and the humbuckers offer distinct sounds that are unique to Steve’s playing style.
The neck position is described as “throaty…a cross between a humbucker and a single coil.” For the bridge, Steve explained to Larry DiMarzio he wanted it to sound like, “a thundering cloud of ice cream.”
